'Tenet': Christopher Nolan's thriller gets mixed response after Blu-Ray release, fans miss 'theater experience'

Dubbed as one of Nolan's complicated and ambitious films, Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a healthy 71% rating

'Tenet' released on VoD and Blu-Ray on December 15 and that gave the world a chance to watch Christopher Nolan's latest time-bending mind-numbing thriller from the comfort of their homes. Those who caught the flick had their share of opinions as they took to Twitter to express their views. Dubbed as one of Nolan's complicated and ambitious films, 'Tenet' opened to mixed responses in theaters. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a healthy 71% rating.

Fans who watched the film put their two cents as well. "Tenet was beautiful garbage," wrote one of the fans. Some felt it was classic Nolan. "Just finished Tenet, it was great! Basically, it was exactly what you expect going into a Nolan film, which I happen to love. Same bad Nolan bullshit as in all the other ones too, say what you will about the man, he never changes." "45 minutes into tenet and this shit already movie of the year," read one of the tweets.

One segment of the fans was just mindblown. "Also, God i wish the IMAX in NYC was open when #Tenet dropped... that is a freaking theater experience that needed to be had. My mind is still," read one of the comments. And some interesting observations: "So, rewatching TENET and I just realized the music is playing in “reverse” and it’s blowing my mind that I didn’t pick up on this the first time around".

'Tenet' plot follows a secret agent (Washington) as he manipulates the flow of time to prevent World War III, and Nolan fans had every reason to rejoice. "#Tenet..... man Nolan... you... you truly are my favorite filmmaker... just wow, you just dont see movies like this...ever. The concept and execution, still in disbelief," tweeted a fan. To end with: "New Twitter thing. Watch Tenet or don’t. Spare us getting on here to complain about it. We’ve had enough nasty from eight months of Covid and four years of Trump. Enough."

Starring John David Washington, Robert Pattison, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Caine, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The film is running in cinemas and is available for viewing on VoD and Blu-Ray.
