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 mean, I think Inception really showed that he’s thought too highly of himself for quite a while. That movie is an incredibly shallow and uninteresting movie made out to be something clever. It’s mostly just eye candy. I never really saw why people loved it so much.
That’s a good point, that movie has a lot of nonsense too, just in a little different package. Tbh, the plot entirely falls apart for me unless I forgive the entire movie for pretending that “dreams” are anything other than nonsense neuron noise. But then it takes itself super seriously, and piles on a bunch of Hallmark card emotions (my wife!!).
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.
