“Don’t try to understand it. Just meme it.”
Christopher Nolan's Tenet is a spectacle of sound, time, and confusion — a film so tangled in its own timeline, even the characters seem unsure what’s going on. It’s ambitious, polished, and loud. Very, very loud.
There's inversion, temporal pincer movements, and entire conversations that sound like someone cranked the subwoofer over the dialogue. Somewhere in the chaos, John David Washington tries to save the world — forwards, backwards, and occasionally upside down — while Robert Pattinson rocks great hair and vague exposition.
It’s the kind of film you watch with subtitles... and still Google afterward. A masterclass in style over clarity, Tenet has earned its place as both a cinematic puzzle and the butt of a thousand memes.
Genius or gibberish? Maybe both.
But one thing’s certain — time moves weird here.
