the world is more than ready for a fabulous blockbuster, especially one that happens to feature face masks and chat about going back in time to avoid catastrophe. It's a real shame "Tenet" isn't it
it is ferociously entertaining; Once again seizing control of the medium, Christopher Nolan attempts to alter the fabric of reality, or at least blow the roof off the multiplexes. Big, bold, baffling and bonkers
easy to admire, hard to love; Altogether, it makes for a chilly, cerebral film -- easy to admire, especially since it's so rich in audacity and originality, but almost impossible to love, lacking as it is in a certain humanity
Christopher Nolan's long-anticipated time caper is a humorless disappointment; "Tenet" is big and ambitious, but Christopher Nolan is more caught up in his own machinations than ever before
Christopher Nolan's grandly entertaining, time-slipping spectacle is a futuristic throwback; The structural complications of Nolan's storytelling are nifty enough, but it's the muscular gusto of his filmmaking that inspires wonder
an original and mind-bending take on a spy movie; "Tenet" frequently delivering mind-blowing moments that are unlike anything you've seen; Solely in terms of technical aspects, it's an incredible feat of filmmaking
an expansive, vast, engrossing film that is as extraordinary than anything crafted before, delivering some feats of imagination, craftsmanship & sheer majesty the likes of which he himself couldn't have dreamed of executing so precisely & so beautifully
