#Tenet is the final boss collapse of the entire concept of auteur theory. Everything is the most Nolan thing ever and all of it is much worse than it has ever been before, it is a frustrating and soulless experience with next to zero return of investment.
It is astounding how few tricks it has up its sleeve for a movie that lives and dies on its concept. There is nothing more to it than what has already been revealed in the trailers.
I tweeted some months back that Tenet looked like a parody of a Nolan movie, but I had no idea it would be to *this* level. This would be the funniest self-parody ever made if it wasn& #39;t so boring for long stretches of it.
This film desperately required an Edge of Tomorrow-esque screenplay that can be creative and fun with the premise, because this *is* a goofy concept that can make for a great film, it just doesn& #39;t lend itself to the dry and serious thriller that Nolan wanted to turn it into.
The script as is, is flat out terrible. The scene by scene construction is laughably amateurish and clunky. There are so many seemingly identical scenes of characters walking generic streets in a dull 2-shot explaining things at each other as the camera follows.
Similarly there& #39;s an absurd amount of scenes of two characters at a restaurant. At one point it feels as though Washington& #39;s character goes from having dinner in a restaurant with a character explaining things at him - to another restaurant with another character.
