In a nutshell, Tenet is basically Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys if it was incorporated into a James Bond-style spy film. The Protagonist is recruited by a shadowy government agency to help bring a stop to World War 3, and thus the extinction of all life on the planet. The only way to stop this is using Time Inversion, which is basically a form of reverse time travel, where the entropy of objects is reversed to allow you to travel back in time.
Wow! This was A LOT to take in. Christopher Nolan managed to pull off a cinematic masterpiece again with his direction and storytelling but this movie was at times like cramming for a physics test. It was A LOT to take in. Like I even read a bunch of stuff after watching the movie to make sure that I understood all of the info that is thrown at you to bring you into this world. Visually it's beyond stunning. The characters are great and the hook is definitely there to keep you dialed in regardless of all the confusion and heavy stuff.
I would absolutely recommend people checking this out. It is not a simple popcorn movie by any means. This one will leave you exhausted and possibly give you a headache from processing all the info but it is an amazing movie.
