The film is so revealing of boomer/reactionary anxieties about the future. It's literally about protecting the present order at all costs, even if that means consigning the future to disaster

    Also none of it makes any fucking sense even within its own time travel rules, but it doesn't even matter because the smug shithead director deliberately mixed the audio so you can't make out a word anyone is saying even in the walls of exposition, so it's just some big dumb explosions (some in reverse!) and other assorted spectacle but with a veneer of "acktually my movie is just too smart for you dumb peasants to understand"

    I have never hated a movie as much as I hated Tenet

      Totally agree. It's surprising how unexciting a lot of the spectacle is. It feels cold and mechanical. Yeah, I ended up watching it with subtitles so I could understand what people were saying.
