Is Christopher Nolan patting himself on the back here? Maybe. Is that a bad thing? Not at all.
The Big Picture Christopher Nolan is one of the great name-brand filmmakers of his generation. Even though he has several classics to his name at this point, which one of them truly has the most "Christopher Nolan" moment of them all? Could it be the city folding in on itself for the first time in Inception? Close, but maybe not. What about the massive twist at the end of Memento, the first of many in his career? We're getting there, but we can do better.
Tenet's rollout into theaters wasn't made any easier by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Christopher Nolan seemed insistent — he was the all-but-confirmed driving force on releasing the film in 2020. The fact that the movie came out at the height of the pandemic made it feel like one that absolutely couldn't be missed.
Yeah, John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki are all great and they look really cool while talking about "tenet this, tenet that", all as everything around them explodes in reverse, and Ludwig Göransson's incredible score pummels your ears, but it all feels the "empty calorie" Nolan experience. The movie is a cool, loud, head-scratcher of an experience.
Later on, The Protagonist's mission starts to feel a bit like deja vu as he ends up back at the Oslo Airport. He's suited up in heavy armor while traveling back through time, and eventually runs across his past self, kicking off a version of the previous fight where the masked man is now moving forward through time, and an unmasked Protagonist is moving backward in time. Total inversion. Mind, blown.
