Like why does fire cause anything to freeze just because "lol its all backwards". Also I don't get why people said the audio mixing made dialogue unintelligible (maybe it was in some theatres) it doesn't even matter because none of it makes sense anyway.

    I kind of understand that reverse fire would be endothermic if still inside of a forward moving universe, since it's a sudden decrease in entropy from the car's perspective, sudden increase in entropy in forward time. This is actually one of the more sensible things the movie shows. Bigger problems are like...Robert Pattinson got shot in the head while reverse, which means he would have had a bullet lodged in his skull for his entire life that's waiting to jump back into the gun it was fired from. Something like this was shown when the reverse protagnoist started bleeding before getting stabbed.

    Then there's also how the entire movie doesn't even matter since if the future society blew themselves up, but we're already living through their past, how would it be possible to change that outcome? It's already a set occurrence, so just go chill and play some video games or something, jeez. No need for all the action spy stuff

      I guess I'll have to watch this movie for its "this is bad" value now.

      Reading this made me remember the "Red Dwarf" episode where the crew wind up so far in the future that the universe is contracting and everything is working backwards. Their best joke was having to go take a poop... in reverse...

    i like that in a movie where time travel is proven to be real and also that free will is proven to be not real and also there's a bomb that can completely obliterate all of reality the most important thing is the CIA stops a Russian arms dealer

      That was my biggest problem with the movie. That's so fucking lazy, make them a techbro with clone soldiers or robots from the future.

    garbage movie with no redeeming qualities

    audio being terrible seems incredibly common these days, I often have to turn the volume way up and re-watch scenes to try to understand what the fuck someone said with all the muddled 'ambient' noise

    also maybe i'm just going deaf, it's entirely possible

    Yeh, not a good film. I’ve liked Nolan stuff in the past but I think he’s maybe gone off the deep end. The whole ending sequence with just anonymous NPCs moving through the most bland landscape possible shooting other anonymous NPCs? So dull.

      So boring. The whole movie was like a bad copy of his style, which I didn't mind until Dunkirk turned out to be such a flag waving stiff upper lip britannia thing.

    Welcome to a Christopher Nolan movie

    Then you got these annoying ass bass heavy Hans Zimmer soundtracks trying to bore into every inch of your being

    Time travel movies will never be 100% consistent in terms of rules, but Tenet just seems like it didn't even think about anything.

    Also, movies like Back to the Future are also entertaining despite this so you kind of ignore some inconsistencies.
