Like: It's been almost 5 months since the the cinema were close due to the virus situation and finally here cinema are now back open. While lockdown may have warped people's perception of time, nothing can quite prepare you for the brain-addling time distortion on display in Christopher Nolan's latest feature Tenet.

When it come to Nolan movies he has this style of epic story with well written script giving the audience iver visual beauty or drama thriller film, this is Not different aspect this is both Drama and visual style movie playing fast and loose with chronology. This film swear is built like a puzzle with a story that folds over itself enough times to make you believe the screenplay was built from origami.

It's not a film you can't leave you're brain at home, switch off and just watch because its a sensory overload, which some audiences might struggle to understand this film, as it got some weird reversal of time situations which is good but the story at time does get to points where if you not paying attention you can lose whats going. 

Acting is perfect throughout especial from Denzel Washington son John David Washington who through gave some badass and weird moments with the chronology moments thoughtout as well as Robert Patterson as well who has alot of range in his acting iam looking forward to his batman film. 
  

Dislikes: The Only thing with this film is its now a straight forward film, it very complex with chronology some viewers may find this film hard to watch or understand whats going. 

Overall:  Visual weird use chronology, great acting complex story

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 8.6 out of 10 for Chronology use's in film.
