Tenet movie review by Zianna Weston
Written and Directed by Christopher Nolan
Rating: 👌🏼 ok
After much anticipation, and so many months away from the movie theater, I am sad to report that Tenet does not live up to the hype. The latest movie from legendary director Christopher Nolan delivers his signature elements; a dark and broody tone, exceptional sound, and a score that enhances the drama.
The actor’s performances are raw and believable. But this twisty plot played with time in a way that didn’t work for me. This isn’t Nolan’s first rodeo with a time-bending plot, but Interstellar and Inception found ways to time travel and still make sense.
Tenet is just straight up confusing, and tbh I don’t care to go back and rewatch it for a better understanding. The characters are under developed and I didn’t care in the end if they lived or died, I just wanted this 2.5 hour saga to freaking end already. If you’re wanting a fun cinematic return to the movie theater full of big action and impressive cinematography, then Tenet is worth seeing. But all I can say is lower your expectations now, and maybe you’ll enjoy it more than I did.
