TENET (2020) MOVIE REVIEW – NOLAN'S MOST DIVISIVE MASTERPIECE?! - FIRST TIME WATCHING

from The Reel Rejects · host Reel Rejects

DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT... FEEL IT. As our journey toward Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues, John Humphrey & Andrew Gordon experience Tenet (2020) for the first time, reacting to Nolan's most ambitious sci-fi thriller. From the breathtaking opera siege, inverted hallway fight, jaw-dropping 747 plane crash, highway chase, temporal pincer movement, and mind-bending ending, this Tenet reaction is packed with theories, confusion, and appreciation for one of Nolan's boldest films.

In this Tenet movie reaction, Tenet full movie reaction, and review, John & Andrew react to Christopher Nolan's (Oppenheimer, Inception) time-bending espionage thriller starring John David Washington as The Protagonist (BlacKkKlansman, The Creator), Robert Pattinson as Neil (The Batman, Mickey 17), Elizabeth Debicki as Kat (The Crown, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Kenneth Branagh as Andrei Sator (Belfast, Murder on the Orient Express), and Michael Caine as Sir Michael Crosby (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar), featuring an unforgettable score by Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, Black Panther). From temporal inversion and the spectacular practical effects to Neil's emotional arc, the Sator Square mystery, and one of Christopher Nolan's most debated endings, John & Andrew discuss whether Tenet deserves another look and why it remains one of Nolan's most fascinating films ahead of The Odyssey.
