If you like people running backwards, reverse speech and watching the key scenes twice, Tenet's just the 'temporal pizza' for you.
Facemasks are mandatory, hand sanitiser is liberally doled out and there is no popcorn or pic 'n' mix on offer.
It is the first major film to be screened in a cinema since the coronavirus pandemic. Shot on a mixture of IMAX cameras and 70mm film and with a rumoured $200m , it's no surprise that Nolan is characteristically indulgent with time.Filmed on locations across seven different countries, the movie boasts an impressive international cast which must have accounted for a big slice of the budget, special effects and set-piece action sequences aside .
As this is Hollywood, the film's flagship villain Andrei Sator doesn't need to reverse time to bag a wife half his age. Casting conventions make 30-year-old Elizabeth Debicki a perfectly acceptable match for 60-year-old Sir Kenneth Branagh.Suffering is always a key occupation for Nolan's female characters, so perhaps this is all part of the plan.
In this fantasy world where time can travel both ways, guns have a whole new function. We're told that handling the weapon feels different because:"You're not shooting the bullet, you're catching it."Cue lots of holes in walls closing up, bombed buildings miraculously un-demolishing themselves and people doing backwards running. This all works brilliantly on the big screen.
