Nolan Fans

Everyone can post their ratings and reviews here, but there are certain requirements for those who want their ratings to be tallied for the average score. We are going to have two tallying system for Tenet. Here are the conditions for each:



NFometer: All members who have at least 50 posts and don't have any history of trolling can participate. But be warned that if you're a newb who wants to give an extremely low rating, then you have to provide arguments, and by arguments I don't mean a bunch of adjectives, rather solid reasoning for why you think the film is not even mediocre. Otherwise your score will not be acknowledged.


VNFometer: For this we only count the votes of the veteran members. which includes every member with at least 50 posts who has joined before the end of 2017 and doesn't have a history of trolling.


For further information regarding NFometer check here.

Gratitude to you for doing this dude, hope all is well. When are you seeing it?

Outrageous, demanding auteur-mastrubation. Visually stunning puzzle with little focus on character. Structurally it made a lot more sense the second time around. You get both his best (staging/use of mise en scène) and worst (clunky scenes of exposition). A film I will return to more often than the masterpiece Dunkirk.

8.5/10

Tenet is his Miami Vice, and I'm here for it.

Thanks man, I'm doing well these days. Unfortunately at this point I'm not sure I can't see any mid-week advance screenings due to work, so it will have to be the weekend afterwards at the earliest. I would much, much rather see this at the real IMAX in Mall of Georgia, but I have no idea when they will be releasing showtimes outside of the mid-week advanced screenings.

At this point I'm doing everything I can to avoid seeing it at my local Liemax. The theater's sound system is notoriously garbage. So I may have to wait weeks before Mall of Georgia has weekend screenings at the real IMAX.

It also depresses me to know I may have seen my last 70mm Nolan screening with Dunkirk. I don't know what the future holds there.

gonna throw the default 8 for now

make mine 8 mate

8.5/10 for me as well, maybe? It might change with repeated viewings, but yeah, 8.5 seems like a balanced score for me as of rn.

And I caught myself yesterday thinking exactly what Robin said above - Tenet is a film I’ll probably return to many more times than Dunkirk. Dunkirk may be the better film, but I always oddly felt (and never had the guts to say on here lol) its rewatchability for me is relatively low. Tenet, I feel like, is likely to be the opposite.

I have my more elaborate thoughts posted in the user reviews thread, if anyone wants to read

I will give my final rating after I watch it for a second time this weekend. As of right now, I'm undecided between a 7 or an 8.
