Film Review – Tenet

Writer/director Christopher Nolan is consumed by the ways of time. Such obsessiveness has infused everything he’s made, with recent endeavors such as “Inception,” “Interstellar,” and “Dunkirk” all fixated on the demands and pliability of time. While Nolan likes to go big with his ideas, he’s not one to change up his routine, with “Tenet” his latest movie and, true to form, it inspects the manipulation of time. It’s easy to be wowed by the production effort, which presents massive action imagery and exotic locations sold with major technical achievements. It’s the rest of “Tenet” that’s rather ho-hum, finding Nolan repeating himself to remain in his comfortable, profitable filmmaking bubble, once again issuing a brain-bleeder that only he understands in full, offering audiences a speaker-rattling puzzle that’s not all that interesting to solve. It’s a shiny creation, but if one doesn’t buy into the central concept, there’s nothing here beyond occasional property destruction and heaps of exposition. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
