Best to relax and just go with the flow, because you will get a headache trying to understand it all, but there’s a swaggering sense of fun and looseness to this after the weightier Dunkirk.
Tenet is a tricky beast about weaponised time travel and another quest to save the world. Perhaps the best example of Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema​'​s chilly blues and greys being ​amped up for effect, this sees the best​-​dressed men you’ve ever seen fighting backwards types. Not underdeveloped people, that is: literally baddies moving backwards. Best to relax and just go with the flow, because you will get a headache trying to understand it all, but there’s a swaggering sense of fun and looseness to this after the weightier Dunkirk. That’s partly thanks to Robert Pattinson’s gleeful Neil, balancing John David Washington’s cooler Protagonist, but it’s built into the wacky premise and jaw-dropping action.
