Tenet (Christopher Nolan, 2020)



This film was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I was waiting for it to come out like it was the event of the year. And when I finally watched it... I was devastated. It is completely idiotic. A boring, uninteresting, uninspired game with time that keeps going and going and going and after that the film is completely empty. Christopher Nolan might be one of the most visionary directors out there, but the last years has been making crap movies. After the horrible Dunkirk, comes this one that is really an unapologetically bad movie. I was bored from the first ten minutes and the rest of the movie was pure nightmare. An idea that was basically medium interesting has been stretched like a fucking rubber band and has filled a whole movie with boring and lame action scenes where time is reversed and you really trying to find a reason for all this that you are witnessing and there isn't any. A totally uninspired screenplay predictable and tedious with characters that have no charm and allure at all, wooden figures that seem to be coming from a cinema that has put everything to special effects and action and a movie that really never starts only trembles between the absolute nothing and the pure shit. I think that this is one of the worst blockbusters that I have seen, a movie that really gets on your nerves and after the first hour the only thing that you are longing for is going home and have a nice sleep. I really don't know what Nolan was thinking while making that movie and why this idea with the reversed time was so alluring to him that it filled a whole movie with it, but truth says that this movie looks like the director who made it had no idea how to fill the time and he took one thing and he really used it till he totally destroyed it. It is true that cinema becomes worse and worse with years passing and you see a lack of substance in the movies coming out, giving everything to the façade and underneath lies a big nothing. Tenet is definitely one of this type of movies, a film that has absolutely nothing to offer to the mind and the soul of the spectator, only a tiring and totally idiotic game that you feel that it came out from the mind of a really mediocre screenwriter.
