Beväpnad med bara ett ord - "Tenet" - reser protagonisten i en skuggvärld av espionage för att rädda mänskligheten i ett uppdrag som utspelar sig bortom tiden.
- Mike11 oktober 2024Tenet is a bombastic, action-packed and visually stunning experience with typical Nolan time manipulation implemented "For me, I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship." I know Tenet is one of the most controversial films Nolan has made, but I personally really liked the experience it provided. When I watch an action film I do not find it a necessity to have a deep philosophical story, the experience that the action provides is what is most important for me with this genre. The reversed entropy added a new and unique aspect to this genre, which I appreciated. With Hoyte van Hoytema as cinematographer you can expect some great looking shots, and Tenet did not disappoint. The cinematography felt natural, but never boring. Also kudos to Hoyte van Hoytema and the rest of the crew for shooting scenes reversed. They did not digitally reverse the shot material, but they modified the cameras. The story itself felt a bit cold and I did not care that much for the characters. Nevertheless Tenet provided me with a great experience, mainly because it required to pay attention to the plot. Although I did understand almost everything on a first watch, the multiple rewatches made me look at the film in a different way which kept it interesting for me. This was especially important because the film lacks the emotional aspect I usually like in other films. As with every Nolan film, the score was impactful and beautiful. After hearing Hans Zimmer was working on Dune and Nolan went for Ludwig Göransson, I was a bit skeptical. But Ludwig Göransson did an great job in providing an impactful score that is up to Nolan’s alley. Not everyone is too keen on the audio mixing Nolan did with Tenet, but I personally had no problems hearing any dialog in an IMAX theater or at my Home Theater. Ofcourse it is not acceptable that a good audio system is required in order to hear the dialog in a film. Certain scenes, the airport scene for example, were ment to be focussed on the score instead of the dialog. This was done to let the viewer experience the fact that Neil was not focussing on what the man said either and I don’t think this is something everyone realizes. Overall I really enjoyed Tenet. Is it Nolan’s best film? No, but I still really enjoyed the action combined with the time manipulation, great cinematography and impactful score that provided this experience. Letterboxd: Mike_v_E
- DEXAPLEX−2 dA "cool" and technical achievement, sure. But still not worthy of this 2.5 hour mess. Tenet is the primest example of what i don't like about many of Nolan's films. There's nothing exceptionally great here that you can't already get from his best acclaimed works; while still getting all the familiar trappings of sterile cinematography and lifeless characters delivering whispered over-the-top exposition underneath loud obnoxious music and sound effects. This was incredibly frustrating for me to get through. I'm trusting that The Odyssey will be significantly better.
- ✢ Ahmed25 juni 2026A very cool movie with an exciting concept of time inversion that can take a couple rewatches to understand how everything works, and those rewatches accompanied by Ludwig Göransson's score in the background can be absolute delight to watch. Once you “get” how everything works and fits together, it can feel like an extremely rewarding experience, akin to a puzzle being solved, and the emotional beats on any subsequent rewatches feel like peak cinema. As confusing as the movie can get, it’s ambitious in the story it tries to tell and just for that is worthy of applause.
- Brad.Plex.13 oktober 2024James Bond with time travel. Nolan once again delivers and emotional, thought provoking, action packed script akin to Inception. And as with his other films, it gets better with each re-watch as you piece together more of the puzzle and wrap your mind around temporal pincer maneuvers and causality loops.
- Zokkiie12 april 2026I had a good time with it, even though it kind of fried my brain. It looks incredible and sounds even better (the audio really hits), but it definitely expects you to keep up without much help. That’s exciting at first, then a little tiring. The performances are solid, especially Washingtons quiet intensity, but it doesn’t hit very hard emotionally. Still, it sticks with you afterward, even if you’re not totally sure you caught everything. Worth the ride, just maybe not back-to-back.
- ArtemisNova11 mars 2026Easily Nolan's worst movie. It feels like someone had a cool idea for special effects and they built a movie script around it. Somehow they forgot to make it engaging though. It's not really worth breaking down why each scene is as boring as the one before and after it but no small part of it is the movie spending at least half of it's running time trying to explain the conceit of the movie.
