I forgot that I pre ordered this. Movie night is a go in my own home theater. I bought a stand alone 4K player for my projector setup, so this will be the title I break it in on. Going by this thread, I guess I'm messing with the sound a bit. Worst case I can always subtitle it 🤷🏾♂️
You'd think Nolan would be more up in arms about his movies being offered on an almost 25 year old format.
Also holy shit we've been living with DVDs for almost 25 years.
Is the prologue not part of the actual film? Should I watch this before watching the actual movie?
The prologue is in the film. The film opens with that exact scene.
I'm just gonna outright buy it on blu ray. I don't think I'm gonna be able to rent this online.
She's telling the protagonist she knows Neil is her son and understands their mission. It's not oh my son is more important than the world.
What? No, he isn't.
Now, my memory of the movie is a little bit hazy, but I'm pretty sure that
Protagonist recruits Neil in the past, not the future. So unless the son of Debicki somehow also starts moving backwards in time, it's impossible for him to be Neil.
It wouldn't surprise me that the quality of a DVD mastered film is better than Netflix. At least Netflix in Full HD.
The son grew up, got involved in Tenet and was recruited by protag, who then had him inverted back to this time. He says it at the end, this is the end of our long friendship, while for your it's just the beginning. Look at their first meeting, you can see it in Neil's eyes he is simply amazed and in awe at seeing protag and then correctly corrects him on the favorite drink. He has known him for a very long time.
I enjoy Nolan's work and been waiting to see this, have the UHD coming tomorrow, so will report back thoughts when I get a chance to see it.
Sums it up perfectly.
Premise created to serve the visual effect he wishes to use, story built after.
Awful story, convoluted plot (no news there), characters spend so much time explaining what's going on (still complicated).
An amalgamation of most of the worst of Nolan.
Will give him one due, his filming of action has improved.
FIncher, a far better director has done plenty with Sony.
I was slowly getting fed up with that character but that was kind of the breaking point for me. still enjoyed the movie quite a bit though. all the scenes between John David Washington and Pattinson were so good, wish they dialed back a bit on the convoluted plotting because the high concept spy action backbone of the film was fantastic and it was let down by the writing whenever the plot came into play.

I will rewatch just for the subtitles
I somehow can see this happening just out of spite >_>

let's not get crazy now
I'm not sure it really has. He still frames and edits things in a confusing way. Honestly couldn't really follow (or care to follow, for that matter) what was going on in the last big set piece.
Paired with his convoluted plot structures and inaudible sound design, it seems like confusion is Nolan's brand.
I agree with you in terms of the action driving the narrative and the flow of set pieces as a means of progression.
I meant rather in the 1 v 1, still not brilliant but compared to the 1 v 1 scale in the likes of Batman trilogy it is much better (although most of that is down to the edit but because it is so common across his work I assume he has a strong hand in the edit).

The worst example of this is Tenet's insistence on showing anyone who runs from place to place doing it from the same reverse / front angles every time, with the switch at the same point. The first couple of times I thought it was a nod to the plot, but nope, it's just Nolan's complete unwillingness to let any action play out in its entirety without artificial intervention.
