The top secrecy at the premiere of the spy thriller by Hollywood's most intelligent director emerged even before the film was shown, when the journalists' cell phones were placed in bags and sealed. Such precautions quite “rhymed” with what was happening on the screen, not to mention that the lead actor John Washington spent almost all the time on the screen in a mask, like everyone else in the audience. Such an entourage was very suitable for the first post-quarantine blockbuster. Further – more.
Imagine our reaction when they announced that a terrorist attack was taking place on the screen … in the Kyiv Opera. True, the huge modern hall shown in the film has little in common with ours, located in a building of the 19th century. But the involvement in what is happening immediately increased significantly.
Saturation with effects. Tenet has three times more explosions, races and fights than a typical action movie/still from the movie
Christopher Nolan builds plot twists and turns in accordance with US foreign policy. The main universal evil is the Russian gas-plutonium oligarch. To calm him down, the Protagonist, represented by Washington, participates in a training special operation at the Kyiv Opera with the support of the SBU – the latter fact caused the public to both have an attack of both fun and pride: Kyiv is involved in world behind-the-scenes intrigues!
However, the oligarch is not enough that mocks the mother of his child, so also an intermediary between the future and the present, dragging “inversion” weapons from the future.
In a nutshell, “Tenet” is a mix of Nolan's “Beginning” with his own “Dunkirk” “. And the style of special effects is reminiscent of the paradoxes of Alice in Wonderland: explosions are pulled into the ground, troops attack in reverse, and destroyed houses self-repair. The non-triviality of Nolan's thinking is also manifested in the fact that he uses the “developments” of Arab terrorists as a means of achieving goals by US agents: the oligarch's vault is robbed with the help of a Boeing attack. The minus of the tape is the congestion with plot moves. Plus – Nolan's signature style, replete with sci-fi paradoxes.
