After a long time, a film that truly challenged my brain and put all my mental gears to work! Christopher Nolan has set the bar for complex storytelling very high this time, and honestly, I think it will be a long time before anyone dethrones him from his metaphorical throne. I have immense respect for his work; he consistently earns points with me because he continues to make films according to his own style, so his unique directorial approach is recognizable within a few shots. The theme of inversion, or the possibility of time flowing backward, really intrigued me. It was to be expected that it wouldn’t be the easiest watch to fully understand, and a rewatch, multiple times, will definitely be necessary. The audiovisual aspect was stunning, with the opening scene in the Kyiv opera house being breathtaking. Nolan has a remarkable talent for presenting even the most grandiose action scenes with such finesse (just look at the Boeing 747 crash). I had some mild concerns about the absence of Zimmer, but the talented Ludwig Göransson proved that he has immense skill, with thunderous tones that truly felt like they came from the Austrian master himself. The performances were top-notch; besides John David Washington, Kenneth Branagh as the Russian villain was a surprising standout. I can’t give a higher rating after just one viewing, but I believe that after I see it a few more times, this might change. For me, it’s 8/10.

Christopher Nolan is even more distant and colder to his characters this time around than usual; on the other hand, he once again manages a narrative ultra mindfuck that playfully puts the rest of the blockbuster production in the deepest pocket. It's remains in question how much of Tenet is actually watchable, because unlike Inception, we don't get any downright "explanatory" scenes followed by some refreshing understanding. The film is terribly self-focused, but it's so beautifully purely nerdy and audiovisually enchanting that it's actually impossible not to love it. Along with Memento, it's probably the least accessible Nolan when it comes to some deeper understanding of the story. Still, I’ve given both Memento and Tenet 5 stars, because I obviously enjoy the hell out of their incomprehensibility.

A truly exhausting film that demands your full attention throughout its whole runtime, because once you tune out for even a single moment, you have virtually no chance of getting back on the same wavelength with Nolan, and the rest of your experience will get drowned out by the deafening noise and convolutedness of the plot. I must admit that the first time I watched it, I felt almost physically exhausted and was not far from getting lost in the plot. But in that mind-blowing moment, as the main character begins to understand and use his ability to change the flow of time, everything suddenly starts to fall into place, and it is one hell of a ride. Tenet is indeed Nolan's most ambitious film, and like all his other films, it will be subjected to a variety of, more or less justified, criticism. But as always, it is the only really must-see film of the year whose technical side, storytelling, and the way it is filmed relegates the rest of the Hollywood production to second-class status.

Let's be honest - who understood this movie right from the beginning? :) Time traveling and bending of the spacetime continuum are always quite complicated matters, but they can be presented in a relatively understandable way, which, unfortunately, wasn't the case for me here. The concept is great, the actors are good (Pattinson pleasantly surprises), the effects are cool, and the action is intense, but towards the end, there are too many unanswered questions and a slight taste of not fully grasping the plot, resulting in an incomplete experience. Christopher Nolan has shown he can do much better, as demonstrated in movies like Inception or Interstellar. This is, for me, his weakest work so far, but still a quality watch.
