Do not watch Tenet while consuming alcohol. They do not go well together. As soon as you watch the first few minutes, you’ll know this is a complex story. A few more minutes in, the complications pile up. The story’s universe gets harder and harder to understand. The more you get stressed by the fact that you don’t understand a Nolan movie, the more likely you’ll take another shot of that Jaegermeister you mistakenly opened up for this occasion. That is how you start a vicious cycle.
It’s hard enough to understand a Nolan movie completely sober, but with alcohol in the veins, I just gave up on understanding it and just decided to get on with it. One foot in front of the other, enjoyed the view, cursed silently.
To enjoy Tenet is to let go of sanity and logic of the story. It’s a deliberate appreciation of the sound design, the action sequences, the cinematography, the editing, and the acting. Mind-fucking aside, Nolan had again added a film to his already venerable list of opuses. Suspend any need for explanation, just go with the flow. If at the end you’re still scratching your head, just go watch those I’m-so-smart-I-understood Youtube explanations. It will not make you a lesser person. 3/4 stars.
Wonder Woman 1984 on the other hand, is something to be enjoyed completely drunk. It’s awful. It’s horrible. Why does it exist? It’s like when Duterte won—something I looked forward to, but man, it got downhill really fast.
It’s like director forgot everything that made the first movie great. Or she did remember, and just decided to summarily execute the thing. DO NOT WATCH, complete trash. 0/4 stars
