Inb4 "nah bro, you just need to watch it 7 times with subtitles on and high quality headphones"! Nolan is hurdling at light speed towards M.Night levels of hackery between his shit sound mixing and convoluted plots. Tenet was such a dumpster fire of a movie.

Nolan kind of lucked out that covid kept Tenet from being released normally and that only a fraction of the people who would have originally saw it actually ended up seeing it. His reputation would have taken a huge hit if it was a normal wide release with full theaters.

This is absurd. The movie grossed $360 million during a pandemic and now, it's available on DVD/Blu Ray and Digital. It won't be long before it's on HBO Max as well.

The distribution mechanism is irrelevant.

If it's a bad movie, it's a bad movie. A movie theater doesn't make a bad film better. And Nolan has built a huge following worldwide so there's no way that one film that doesn't live up to expectations is suddenly going to ruin his reputation as a filmmaker.

Again, your comments are absurd.

His movies have been decreasing in revenue ever since he peaked with Dark Knight. I don't think this movie if released widely would have helped turn that around for this and his future releases. It was a thoroughly bad movie and from what I hear, much worse in theaters due to his horrible sound mixing, no subtitles and the fact you can't pause the movie to even try to figure out what the **** is even happening, much less why it's happening.

It's almost a satire of Christopher Nolan crawling up his own ass.

Again, this is absolutely absurd and you have zero understanding of the entertainment business.

This mirrors my experience. I got so bored I was falling asleep, and turned it off about 50-60 minutes into it-- and I wanted to like it. Maybe I'll go back and finish it, but I'll have to make it a conscious point of doing so. But likely not.
