Some real surprises - new editor and composer

Christopher Nolan Taps 'Hereditary' Editor Jennifer Lame for His New Movie (Exclusive)
Nolan's regular editor is off working on Sam Mendes' war epic '1917.'

QuoteJennifer Lame, who last worked on horror indie hit Hereditary, has been tapped to serve as editor on Nolan's latest project, an untitled action adventure that is to star John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki and Robert Pattinson.

Nolan's main man has been Lee Smith, the Australian editor who first collaborated with Nolan on 2005's Batman Begins. That started a relationship that lasted through The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar and, most recently, Dunkirk. Smith won an Oscar for the 2018 movie, as well as the American Cinema Editors' Eddie Award, and gathered a nomination for Dark Knight.

QuoteNolan's behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema, production designer Nathan Crowley, editor Jennifer Lame, costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, and visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson. The score is being composed by Ludwig Göransson.

Not all American cinemas. Some friends went to see it first screening opening night, and there wasn't a trailer attached.

I don't know about this one. I couldn't feel anything while watching the trailer. I like Nolan's quality (it's outstanding) but all his movies like the same. And we have Michael Caine again? Come on!

Nolan is overrated imo.
Not so sure how I feel about this one. Could be great. Could be overcomplicated like Inception (South Park got it right when it comes to that movie).
But I'll still give it a chance.

Why so expensive?  :o

Quote from: VarietyCauses for Concern:
"Tenet" carries a huge $205 million price tag, so the blockbuster-hopeful will need to become a massive commercial hit to turn a profit. And aside from its vague tagline, setting the high-stakes epic in the world of international espionage, the premise is still basically a mystery.

I wonder that too.
Just read that they're still in production and by the time they're done it would be 225 million. Marketing campaign not included.

One can only imagine what Ridles would do with such a budget.

Over 200?

Seems they're expecting Inception type of boxoffice success. It's not completely unjustified, i guess. Nolan is kinda WBs golden boy with impressive audience figures considering his more convoluted style of storytelling.

I read somewhere WB is pretty much giving him free reign, not unlike they did with Kubrick back in the day. Pretty rare constellation in todays blockbuster jungle.

This was playing at the local drive-in last night, and while the covid numbers in my state still have me incredibly reluctant to step foot in a movie theater, I figured seeing it from inside my car would be a better way to go. Gotta say, this one really didn't do much for me, unfortunately. I've never been one of those obsessive Nolan fans, but I do like most of his films. This one just didn't leave much of a lasting impression.

I have a lot of love for Nolan and would consider myself a fan of his work, but ultimately Tenet didn't work for me either. Although I felt the concept was neat and attention grabbing, I think Nolan lost himself in the intricacies of the world building. By the final act I found I just kinda didn't care anymore. The film had beat it out of me.
Title: Re: Tenet - Formerly Untitled Christopher Nolan Film (...

I like the movie, but it's very much a showcase of the inversion stuff than a plot.

It's cleverness translated to me as boredom and disconnection from caring one jot about what was going on - because I didn't have a clue what actually was going on.

Well made and all the rest of it but I found it to be a major let down and it puzzles me to see so many five star reviews, it's never a five star movie in a hundred years.

Someone needs to give Nolan a shake and tell him genius is simplicity. I admire his search for originality but he's disappeared off the edge of the map with this one.

it was OK, nothing amazing or groundbreaking, but it was fun I guess.

Definitely a film that needs a few watches

Agreed. Tenet is like a puzzle video game like Myst or a murder mystery movie/game like Clue.
Even after a viewer has the answer for the mystery of Tenet, to understand the pieces of the puzzle requires watching it again and picking out the clues.

** But important suggestion; watch it at home and turn on the subtitles. Lots of the dialogue is covered by noise.

;)

I heard the dialogue just fine in my theater.

None of it made much sense. It felt like everyone was just talking in cliches at each half the time

I saw it back in September in a drive in, so I was getting the audio out of my car speakers, and had basically the same experience. I heard the dialogue, but I never quite got it. And it wasn't even the time inversion stuff that tripped me up; that was all fine for the most part. It was the general movement of the plot, the way the characters spoke about moving from event to event and location to location, that just felt overly dense to me.

It honestly felt like Nolan hit up a Random Action Movie Dialogue Generator and just pasted it into the script, then drowned it in noise.

Like the inversion stuff is all straightforward. Some shit goes backwards in time. Got it. It was just people ... conversing that seemed like it was needly obtuse.

I quite liked it, even with how convoluted and self indulgent it is. I mostly loved the relationship between the two main characters, I find their story very touching.

Finally got to see this. And I agree with everything bb-15 said. If you enjoy puzzles then this is the film for you.

I enjoy a bit of viewer effort in working out the plot kinks in the right kind of mystery film, but most of the time I like to immerse myself in characters who make me feel something. I felt nothing for the people in this story. I get that Nolan tried to build some emotional content into Elizabeth Debicki's predicament with arch villain Kenneth Branagh, but it was completely overshadowed by the twisty narrative. The Prestige combined character and complexity of plot very well. This one -- not so much.

I feel like this is a good example of a story that would have been better served as a limited streaming series. Instead of jamming so much into its 2 hr feature film length, 8 x 1hr episodes would have given us better paced, more careful exposition.

(OTOH I also watched Alex Garland's Devs the other week. Now there's an example of a series that would have been better off compressed into a shorter 2hr movie.)

On the whole, though, I feel like as the years go by appreciation of Tenet and the audacity of its storytelling will only increase.
