And with Tenet, most of the action sequences happen twice (and half in reverse), so that might make it seem even longer.<br /><br />And it is definitely darker and (somehow) more convoluted than Inception.<br /><br />My initial impression was mixed too, but yeah, I've found it's the sort of movie that is designed to be watched multiple times and looked at from different angles.Logan Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927158558530539708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-42171998057056914482021-05-22T22:42:06.866-04:002021-05-22T22:42:06.866-04:00I finally saw this movie, fortunately at home and ...I finally saw this movie, fortunately at home and with closed captioning or it would have driven me nuts. Logan, you wrote an excellent review.<br /><br />Even though it was fascinating in spots, I didn't like it quite as much as <i>Inception</i>, mostly because the inverted thing didn't grab me as much as the dream thing. The actors were all terrific and it's clear that, while I sometimes had trouble following what was inverted and what wasn't, the director and the actors knew what they were doing.<br /><br />But it also felt like some sequences went on too long, or maybe I just started losing patience. At the same time, and maybe I'm being contradictory, it was clear to me that this is a movie I would understand better if I watched it a few times, and I'm not sure I want to do that.

There are just some movies I just know I'll hate myself for not seeing on a big screen, and this looked like one of them.<br /><br />Logan Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927158558530539708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-37499982951228291872020-09-15T03:02:39.451-04:002020-09-15T03:02:39.451-04:00I'm so excited to watch this from the safety o...I'm so excited to watch this from the safety of my couch when that's an option. Not only to avoid contagion, but also so I can use the closed captioning to my heart's content. Nolan is such a fan of beautiful visuals...why not audible dialogue?!
