Tenet treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.
“Straight to the compost bin.”

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Tenet knows its audience.

Tenet: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

Tenet should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Tenet actually is?
Everyone praising the Tenet performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in Tenet is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Tenet last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Tenet?
Honestly, Tenet would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Tenet's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Tenet and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
