I watched this on a plane and loved it. I didn't know why I loved it or even really understood it. I've since watched so many YouTube videos explaining it and understand it a little now but I still really enjoy the movie.

So, I love Nolan but I would to sit down with him and ask him what the hell he was thinking when he made this. Can someone please tell me how the machine built for going in reverse affects the entire world outside of it??? Like, how in the hell does walking through a turnstile affect the entire known world once you get out of it? Do any of you know the explanation for this?

Cellar Door

^What do you mean "affects the entire world outside of it"?

Rival11

How the hell does walking through a turnstile make walking or driving on a highway go in reverse?? How does simply walking trough that machine make everything outside of it reverse??? How does affect anywhere you would go on the planet???

Anything that goes through the turnstile reverses its movement through time. I get if someone dislikes or can’t suspend their disbelief for that central premise, but I don’t get your criticism. If the premise of the movie was that everyone who went through it became twice as fast, I don’t think you’d complain about them being twice as fast whether they’re walking or running or in a different country. It’s just part of the primary conceit of the story.

Cellar Door

The turnstile causes the people who go through it to start moving through time in the opposite direction. The outside world isn't changed, the people who went through the turnstile are changed. From their perspective, the world appears to be moving in reverse because they themselves have been reversed. That's the premise. It's all nonsense, really, but there is at least some internal logic to the story.

Calm down, I actually love this movie and I've been rewatching it to figure things out (subtitles really help as well).

Rival11

THANKS!! ..yes I probably should have caught that because I do remember them mentioning it but oh well, I'm going to forget/miss a lot fo stuff while trying to figure things out.

Did you just catch up on this movie ... or did it just catch up to you?

I think John David Washington has been pushing Nolan to do a sequel for this as well.

PerryD

re-release should involve boosting voice volumes.

I'd be interested if it was some kind of recut, but I have no need to see it again on the big screen.

Abob Teff

Couldn't they just run this in reverse and claim it is both of those things?

Josh-da-man

Or would that be a prequel?

Rival11

lol or both a sequel and a prequel.

You boys just invented the sprequel!

The only thing I remember about Tenet was that I rented a movie theater for me, my wife and our two kids to see it during the pandemic. It was like $120 or something but was worth it for the memories and just to get out of the house.

I only watched Tenet once. It was late 2020 in a theater with about 20-25 other people wearing a mask and socially distanced. Honestly, I don't really remember much about it.

I remember Nolan was pissed about how WB handled the release of this. I don't know what could have been done. A lot of people were scared to go out into public in late 2020 and through probably most of 2021.

The January/February lull from the strikes is really hitting with all these re-releases.

rocket1312

I don't remember Nolan being upset about the release of Tenet. He won that battle. His issue with Warner Brothers was the whole day and date streaming thing which came after Tenet was released.

bluetoast

The re-release will also include a Dune prologue, which is probably the main factor in why this is coming back out, from Warner Brothers’ perspective. Other reasons include riding the wave of the upcoming limited re-release of Oppenheimer, and probably to appease Nolan a bit.

philo

Still think it's a very entertaining creative movie that's always fun to think about with some really inventive action scenes. I think the weakness is in the casting of Washington who feels light weight in the role and Kenneth Branagh doing a shouty Boris Badenov is hard to take seriously. Also marred by Nolan's muffled dialogue which for such an intricately plotted movie gets very frustrating.

The re-release is this weekend.

^^they flipped the 'A film by...", they should have flipped the end 'ET', also (like they did in some of the original posters) :
