    Plus it was a big yawner. I’ve never been so bored watching an action scene. It was like watching someone rewind a taped episode of DBZ

      I love Nolan movies, but he really needs to stop trying to put action scenes in them. He clearly doesn’t know how to film people fighting each other whatsoever.

        Tenet genuinely made me feel low IQ from being so confused by that car chase…that…swat team fight… But then I realized it wasn’t my fault I didn’t know what was happening or even WHY the action should be cool, it was the movies!

        I loved the idea of tenet on paper, but boy. Too long, too confusing, not enough to like. How did he get such a big ego about his movies anyways?

          I completely checked out when that blue vs red swat “battle” happened. It so incredibly bad.

          Ive sat through Primer 20 times to understand it all because it’s a movie that actually has complicated structure in it. You can tell right away Tenet is just set pieces and nothing more.

              Pi is a great movie. But it doesn’t have anything in relation to Primer.

                I wasn’t relating it to primer. I was citing another thinker movie with fantastic world building and structure.

                Edit: you know. Like Nolan wishes he could pull off without it coming off as wishy washy. The same reason you brought up Primer in the first place.
