One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.

Zero parts fun.

Three fucking hours long.

Don't waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

      I thought it was fine, but there's already too much music in it. Maybe I'm just old but I frequently couldn't hear the dialogue for the score.

        That's Nolan's signature shitty sound mixing.

        That's a well-documented problem with big-budget movie production

          Yeah I remember the fuss about Tenet. I didn't see it in the cinema because Nolan decided to rush it out way too early during Covid to preserve his cinematic experience above the health of the viewers, but I played a 4k version on a pretty damn good home theatre system and I'm still of the conspiracy theory that thr audio mix on some of it is so bad to force you to really pay attention in a movie with pretty terrible pacing and exposition that would otherwise risk you tuning out.

          That video is decent, although I'm aware of the technical side given that I've done a fair amount of sound mixing for video over the years. That it highlights Nolan specifically is interesting, along with his rationale which is basically he likes it that way so fuck the audience and is basically a dick about it. Which does track to be fair.
