    I liked Tenet, but I also made a conscious decision not to think about the plot too hard and just accept it’s vision of it’s own universe.

    I feel like Nolan movies aren’t really about the plot so much as the conceptual notions and visual spectacle. They are almost impressionistic, the plot is just a framing device for everything else.

    I kinda think Nolan knows this and gives you a hint by burying the dialog in the mix, your really not supposed to care about the story that much.

      I made the mistake to watch Interstellar with my brain switched on because people were hyping the super-accurate science so much. I left so angry because the movie is so fucking dumb. Sure, the black hole was fun. But the 5 seconds it’s on screen is not enough to carry the rest of the stupid as fuck plot.

        So, I like Interstellar for what it is, but I’ve also made a fun game of it.

        I like to ask people if they can name Cooper’s son. Most people don’t even remember he was in the movie.

        It’s kind of a reverse situation of Jake Sully being the only name I can remember from Avatar.
