I love an intellectual challenge. Seems like some of the poor ratings struggle with that part. That said, Tenet was unnecessarily complicated at times. I don't need explanations handed to me (I hate when films do that), but I almost got the feeling the intent of those really complex plot/action scenes was specifically to confuse/disorient me. If that's true, kind of brilliant. If not, they were just trying a little too hard.
Pace, action, effects... it was just fun to watch and kept me engaged. Having to frequently "keep up" with what's going on was a little frustrating at time... like the feeling of wanting to stop and scroll back but not wanting to break the action. Again, intentional? The opening concert scene was kind of overdone, maybe a little gimmicky, or the director wasn't quite sure what to do there. How about this analogy... like two lovers fumbling around in the back seat of a car for the first time. Pretty fun but kind of unsure, clumsy.
The lead actors were really good. I really liked Washington's cool confidence but I sometimes got this sense that he was holding back his own personality to fit a part. I hope that make sense. I've really enjoyed watching Pattinson mature as an actor. Maybe felt like he was a better actor than the role presented. Not his fault on that though.
I'll need to watch this a few more times. Kind of like the first time watching the film Inception, but even that was easier to follow. If a film makes it into my multiple-watch list, that's pretty high praise.
