Hmmm, they say whatever happens stays happened. Does it? I’m sure we see a lot of Mr Branagh’s character after the pretty lady dives off the boat. Expressed in a cryptic manner to avoid spoiler. Or maybe it stays happened the last occasion it happens, not the first time (or the second?) in that way you can go back to undo things, but so can others, so the past is not fixed but can be reworked and what follows is a range of unpredictable outcomes, including whether someone goes back to change it all, or not.
Also during the week or so you are ‘inverting’ is that part of your overall lifespan, or can you do it over & over, to enable a form of immortality?
Dodgy sound is surely an effect to disorientate and distract the viewer & make it harder work to unravel the complexities on screen.
Great film enjoyed it immensely, but same is true of all Nolan films. Lots to think about after you’ve left the cinema.
I saw it today while it was visually great and the music was spectacular (maybe because of the volume and immersion of been in a cinema), I had trouble figuring out what was going on. A lot of the plot went over my head. I want to see it again to see if I can make sense of it but I can’t say it was a fun film.

The sound was pretty terrible. Other than that it was a pretty average film.
Is it all cinemas? Is it perhaps designed for Atmos or another specific sound system?Just wondering if you all are seeing it in a old cinema, or new one. Think I will go and watch it in Leicester Square!
I take it they didn't do test screenings like the Dark Knight Rises, which had loads of complaints about Banes voice which were changed.

This ^^^I understood the big picture but the minute to minute storyline was almost incomprehensible at times.
Sound was fine in my Everyman.
Watched it last night with my lads and we all enjoyed it. Didn’t find the sound too bad at all ( just a normal Cineworld though so maybe that helped ) although the music was pretty loud. We spent the walk back home trying to untangle all the timelines and each of us giving our own take on it
Good to be back at the cinema too

I went to see it at the BFI IMAX in London. As per usual, Nolan filmed a lot TENET in full screen IMAX, and it looked amazing on the huge screen.
It definitely needs another viewing to try and connect the dots, and the Den of Geek link on Entropy should help a little with the story. ,I did find that Nolan didn't give much opportunity to process the story, as each new scene kept throwing more and more at you.
Also, my friend had a problem with some of the dialog, especially in the last main action scene (I didn't).
I did notice that Kip Thorne was listed in the credits. He was the science advisor for Interstellar, so it's no surprise to see Nolan ask for his input on this tricky topic.

I quite fancied seeing Tenet, but just looking at the YouTube from the OP on this thread gave me certain doubts.
Last night we started to watch Inception on ITV2. We got as far as the first ad break before giving up. It was simply incomprehensible as there seemed to be 3, perhaps 4, timeframes running simultaneously connected by a tenuous thread.
I really hope that Tenet is somewhat better.

If you didn't like Inception due to the different timeframes, you'll hate TENET. It's virtually impossible to get a grip of what's happening.Last night we started to watch Inception on ITV2.

I really liked TENET though, so I'd give it 8 out of 10 I think. I'm going to see it in a regular (I.e non IMAX) cinema next week, so that may give a different view. The IMAX visuals are amazing and do help with the immersion.

I’d like to re-watch it at an IMAX to see the difference - and see if the sound was better or worse than normal screen. I didn’t have too much trouble with the dialogue ( which I was expecting after reading initial comments)I really liked TENET though, so I'd give it 8 out of 10 I think.

Am here now. 10am bank holiday screening in Poole Cineworld.
Looking forward to it and am a big fan of his films . Not fussed that I might need to watch it a few times. I have watched inception and interstellar a few times and the second and third time different pennies dropped
After it finishes, sneak into the next showing. And then one more Looking forward to it and am a big fan of his films . Not fussed that I might need to watch it a few times. I have watched inception and interstellar a few times and the second and third time different pennies dropped
