Love this film. If not for covid, this film woukd have been a definitive blockbuster. One of Nolan's best action flicks. Requires multiple watch to notice all the little details. Glad to add to my collection!

Got tenet as a holiday gift to myself. Have a panasonic 4k player that a bought a few months ago and a lg 75 in 4k tv that I've owned for 2 years now. Believe it or not, tenet was the first 4k movie that I've bought and watched... The experience was great. Action packed movie that is very deep. Reminded me somewhat of Inception with Leonardo dicaprio. If you don't want to think then tenet is not for you. Many bonus features and the 4k experience along with my surround sound was unbelievable.

Purchased this movie after seeing the trailer and seeing how crazy it looked and can honestly say I was not disappointed. Christopher Nolan has been a genius at making the most complex movies ever since my favorite movie from him The Prestige was made back in 2006 and the even crazier movie Inception. This movie is no exception to those previous movies and one that, at least for me, have to watch a couple of times before being able to say, ohhhhh now I get it, (and still even barely able to say that) haha. Like all his other movies this is one that you can't even blink without missing a key part of what's it's trying to explain to the audience and keeps you trying to figure out even after the movie is over.

This is an excellent 4K movie. The visual effects will impress any enthusiastic movie aficionados. The story is well written, and the actors are best of the best, in every scene.This will easily go in the collection, of great movies. Thank you Best Buy.

Reference quality 4K Blu-Ray. Watching this on my 77" LG CX OLED. Mind blowing visuals. Audio is bombastic, subwoofer workout. Great film.

Love the movie and I already got the steelbook so i had to collect the slipcover. They had plenty of availability of these and it was on sale for a really good price!

Awesome Movie with an Awesome Plot! Highly Recommend To Anyone Wanting To Watch A Movie Along The Lines of Inception!!

I really wanted to like this movie but it just was not to be. My reason for this is the sci fi twist was just a bit overboard for my taste.

There are many reasons Christopher Nolan left warner brothers - i think one of the biggest reasons is how WB streaming service HBO Max is ruining movies - Nolan’s movies in particularly. Digital versions / streaming versions of Nolan movies crop his films - they get rid of 1/3 of the image and change the color on some occasions. The 4K dvd is the best way to watch a Nolan movie - outside of the theatre.

Overall phenomenal movie if you enjoy the mind bending style such as inception. It will require lots of paying attention or multiple viewings to catch every small detail though!

More 3 1/2 than 4. When it pays off, it's a strong movie, but the complexity of its plot and the minimal explanations make it harder to follow than a more casual film. The video and sound presentation are strong here, the best that WB usually delivers. "Tenet" is the code word to identify agents working for the same shadowy organization; the word is the same backwards and forwards, a palindrome, and that's a hint of what's happening here. Picture a world where everything is normal except for a handful of objects, like a bullet found in a wall--the bullet has been fired into the wall not in the past, but in the future, and it's waiting for someone to lift the gun and draw the bullet back into it. Yeah, it gets more confusing from there. Putting it as straight as possible, an enemy from the future is attacking the past, and John David Washington's character, known only as Protagonist, is charged with serving a secret agency that must save the world from an attempt by the future to destroy it. If you can dig in and keep up, Tenet gets stronger as it goes along. Christopher Nolan as a director always likes to plant seeds and harvest them later, and this premise is great for allowing him to do that. Things that make little sense at first start to come together later as characters moving forward in time intersect with those moving backwards, and some characters, like our leads, will move in both directions. Although it involves time travel and "inverted" bullets and fight sequences with characters moving backwards, at heart, the film is a lot like a James Bond movie with a very challenging premise. The Bond caretakers should really just give him a Bond film to make, he clearly has a lot of love for such spy thrillers. Nolan's blockbusters are much like epics, and it's hard to imagine how even a team of geniuses could bring together all these various pieces, from the stunts to the special effects. The dialogue is clever, but not very informative. It might be easier to keep up if it was explained more, but Nolan seems assured that it's less important for the audience to understand the details and just the premise that these guys are bad and the good guys must stop them. It's the curse of taking an art-house film concept and turning it into a blockbuster. But it's hard not to like a film that reaches so far, even if it risks throwing the audience quite a few times.

Blaring sound issues mar a future masterpiece. Christopher Nolan’s science-fiction action-thriller Tenet (2020) is an impressive feat by any measure with massive set pieces, innovative special effects, exciting action, pulsing score, riveting performances, and mind numbing writing. Nolan directed another masterpiece of a movie with groundbreaking filmmaking prowess. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Tenet as it’s pretty much nonstop action sequence after action sequence. However, I feel the need to mention immediately that I had to put on the subtitles at home to understand a single word of dialogue. Tenet’s killer score from groundbreaking composer Ludwig Goransson is pulsing and pounds itself into your brain. The problem is that Richard King’s sound mixing is so poorly mixed as the score blares over all the dialogue. I highly recommend Tenet, but you must turn on the subtitles to understand any speaking parts at all. Nolan’s an ambitious auteur and Tenet is easily his most ambitious film as a director yet. The script is well written by him with a mind-bending plot of a future threat and inverted bullets scattered all around the world. I found the characters thinly written, but incredibly effective. I wanted more explanations or revelations, but some mysteries remain unanswered. The ending is satisfying, though Nolan could use a female writer to better develop his tortured Elizabeth Debicki character with a more nuanced, sympathetic, and feminine lens. I wasn’t horribly bothered by the lack of thoughtful character arcs as Tenet is basically a glorified action spectacle with a glossy sci-fi premise. The sci-fi concept of reversing fights, gunshots, car chases, ships sailing, and explosions is pretty cool just for the surreal physics. In short, Nolan’s writing is bravely outlandish, but may confuse viewers begging for some clarity to all the sci-fi jargon. I cannot even imagine how much work went into Nathan Crowley’s production design. Andrew Jackson’s creative visual effects and Tenet’s remarkable CGI is up to the challenge. Jennifer Lame’s editing is very specific with exact cuts when needed to portray time travel and multiple perspectives of events. I cannot fathom how she put together all this footage without making Tenet confusing. Every action scene is enthralling in Tenet, while the rest of the drama is all set-up through exposition to explain the creative inverted thrills you are about to experience. John David Washington is pretty compelling as The Protagonist in Tenet. He is endearingly normal enough as a regular man thrust into Tenet’s insane premise for all the sci-fi drama, but believably cool as this skilled operative for the action sequences. Robert Pattinson has a lot of charisma and natural warmth as Neil. I wish we got some more of his wise-cracking planning agent for Washington’s talented leader role. Kenneth Branagh is quietly terrifying as Russian mob boss Andrei Sator hellbent on controlling time to bend it to his will. He is subtle and intimidating in many moments a lesser actor’s personality would have gotten lost in the role. Elizabeth Debicki completely steals the show as Tenet’s emotional core named Kat. She is drop dead gorgeous, unreal tall, gently sweet, nervously anxious, devastatingly hurt, and deeply conflicted all in one nuanced performance. I find Debicki very moving and captivating in Tenet. She is the only actress that feels genuinely like a real person, but I do not like seeing her in pain so often. She’s starting to get typecast as the distressed woman in a toxic relationship, only present to display agony and emotional or physical torture. I liked the cameos from Clemence Poesey, Michael Caine, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Himesh Patel, and Dimple Kapadia. They round out Tenet with some gravitas, levity, personality, and information. Jeffrey Kurland’s costumes are stylish and sleek with a modern aesthetic that feels like he raided Nolan’s personal closet for all the men. All the sets are expensively lavish in appearance with stunning art direction. All the global locales make Tenet look like a travel brochure for some of the loveliest backdrops in any modern feature film. Hoyte van Hoytema’s cinematography matches the lush environments as well as the shocking inverted action scenes. The camera follows the action so well, you feel like you’re in the middle of the fray at all times. His mid shots of faces and bodies work the best to me though compared to some of the crazier explosion driven action sequences. To conclude, Christopher Nolan’s relentless direction, ruthless ambition, and bravely bonkers writing make Tenet worth seeing for sure. I wish the characters were more emotional, realistic, and complex, but Tenet is full of sensory overload already.

Another banger from Nolan, not as incredible as Interstellar but definitely a two time watch like Inception. RobPatt is great in this too.

I saw this movie after taking an edible. It felt like my head was trying to float away from my body. I would watch it again. Great picture overall.

This movie was super cool and totally dope bro. Would recommend to anyone interested in cool movies

Good film, if you can follow along. I need to watch it again to make sure I understood it. Intriguing with great picture and sound.

I love this movie, and the blue ray is really good. High quality, viewed with a Panasonic Ub-820 player and a PS5.

uch like previous Nolan blockbusters on 4K and Blu-ray, Tenet attempts to re-create the IMAX theatrical experience with another mixed aspect ratio presentation that frequently opens up to 1.78:1; it's not exactly 1.43:1 but, under the circumstances, achieves the same effect. No matter its shape, this 2160p transfer is indeed a stunner and one of the best overall 4K presentations I've seen to date. Image detail is absolutely phenomenal from the opera house opening onward, as shot after shot delivers incredible depth and fine detail that's further aided by deep blacks and extremely refined contrast levels. Of course the modern "orange and teal" palette is in full effect here, which also aids the push-and-pull effect that makes an immediate sensory impact and heightens the film's more stylized moments. Of course, the disc's HDR enhancement contributes to this intended effect and, when paired with the film's 65/70mm roots*, creates an immediate and lasting visual impression. The warm interior of the opening opera house sequence -- a peaceful and inviting atmosphere that's shattered within moments -- sets the bar very high but it's easily cleared soon enough. From there, Tenet continues as a collection of visually stunning moments rather than something that can be described in broad, blanketed terms. The impossibly vivid blue of open waters, combined with sunlit scenes aboard Andrei Sator's luxury yacht. Unparalleled depth in panoramic exteriors, especially cityscapes. Deep blood-red and crimson hues of the mirrored "inversion" room. Glowing amber lights against the darkened backdrop of a plane crash. Everything pops nicely and even the most, well, normal-looking scenes are heightened by its cinematography, creating a palpable level of visual stimulation that, if I'm being perfectly honest, carries the film more capably than its overly twisting narrative. From a purely visual perspective, Tenet is just about as perfect as it gets.

An intrigiuing movie, with great audio and presentation!

Wow , looks great and lots of action and twist and turns
