    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.
