Finally got around to watching this. Definitely would recommend for anyone who liked Inception, Edge of Tomorrow, etc it deals with some trippy concepts.

Anyone else watched it? What'd you think?

Edge of Tomorrow might still be one of the best scifi films I've seen in a while. You've captured my interest.

I like Nolan's work, but he seemed a bit stuck up his own ass with this one, so I gave it a good eyeroll. I'll find a way to see it.

I tend to ignore commentary, previews, interviews, etc till after the fact these days. I try to let the work stand on its own (or fail on its own).

I think Edge of Tomorrow was a tiny bit better if only because it's one of the very few films I've rewatched multiple times since it came out, but Nolan was no slouch here and I would say it's definitely a fairly unique take on the concepts it presents. Or at least, it's a take I've never seen before.

Edge of Tomorrow is significantly better on subsequent viewings. :)

My comment about Nolan was mostly about how he insisted that Tenet needed to be viewed in theaters, and insisted that it was released this year. Dumb.

I'm glad he's still delivering. I have no idea what the movie is about. I still haven't seen a trailer for it. Eager to see it with fresh eyes.

I may have to try and watch it again, but it didn't catch my interest the first time.

Honestly, I couldn't see past the whole "gaming" element that inspired it.

That is, you go out, play the scenario, die, rinse and repeat until you beat the scenario.

It was clever and well done to be sure, but it was just hard for me to see past that.

I mean it's fun but really makes no sense scientifically.

I haven't rewatched the scene yet but the scene ... (spoilers)

where Sator kidnaps his own wife while he's reversed and threatens to shoot her and then the scene where the reverse and forward Sators are yelling at him I'm just confused as hell.

Also, in the opening Opera house when someone reverses a bullet to save the Protagonist, wouldn't there have to have been a reverse entropy bullet fired into that chair sometime in the past/future for someone to reverse? When the scientist was given a wall with bullets in it, how did they have the shells and powder those bullets would need to suck back into itself to create a new bullet?

Also why did they even need to meet Sator to set up the heist?

Looks like at the moment it's pre-order only...unless you have some, ah, acquisition skills (or someone who can acquire it for you on a home media server). I watched it via a friend. Didn't even realize it's not quite out yet for streaming.
