Tenet: Hold my beer. Inception: I’m the most complicated movie.

The fact that Pattinson said when filming tenet he didn't understand what was going on for weeks yet he plays a character that "always knows too much" is just prime example of how far the guy has come in his acting career

This movie was so confusing even the explaining of the sins had me confused.

“Okay that was clever.” “Wow that makes literally no goddamned sense” - Me throughout this entire film

“In less than 12 minutes” “Video lasts 24 minutes” Cinemasins: Don’t try to understand it

When the move is so complicated you can’t even understand everything wrong with it

It still had one of the best dialogue exchanges/twists in a long time. "What's happened, happened. Which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the world. It's not an excuse to do nothing"

Robert Pattison really showed his acting chops since twilight. Slowly becoming one of my favorite actors

We live in a twilight world! Robert: oh not that shit again

When the Sins and the timer started going in reverse, then flipped back to normal I thought I had officially lost it

Its as if Nolan was upset too many ppl understood Inception, Interstellar and Memento, and decided to make Tenet

I kind of like how the movie itself is so batshit crazy and yet the turnstiles are literally the simplest time machines ever portrayed in film

When a sin is removed but it's just a sin added in reverse.

The reverse sin counter confused me more than this movie did.

At first I liked the idea of reverse (inverted) entropy. Then they used it correctly, for example the car explosion caused the car windows to freeze. Then I thought if an explosion in reverse is just freezing, why and how are the inverted cars working properly? These are internal combustion engines and rely on entropy. The engines should freeze. But anyway who cares.

The "My cocaine" joke is severely underrated

*This is the cleverest editing done by Cinemasins yet.*

"In 12 Minutes Or Less" Video is 24 minutes "But- oooh..."

I love how cinema sins, pitch meeting, and honest trailers all had the same burning question: How inverted poop?

So when the movie is "inverted" the sins got inverted lol, and when it went back to normal it started the normal thing that is a good edit

i was confused why the sin was moving backwards…then i realised it was TENET

“I’m not sure if this is a sin but at this point you’re not either” sums up this movie perfectly.

I love how at 13:03 after he says “I can’t be sure inverted time won’t effect this video somehow” he starts making the sun counter go in reverse! Then the sin counter goes back to normal temporarily at 16:31 for no reason then back to reverse at 17:19 then back and forth several times! I love this channel

17:25 The explosion itself doesn't end the world. It seals the algorithm (that can invert literally everything) for the future to eventually dig up.

The fact that the sins that happen in reverse time make the sin count go down rather than up is masterful

Did you enjoy the movie: Yes Did you understand it: No Diagnosis: Brain damage

WHUT 04:43 That joke was lowkey gold !!

This movie had my brain hurting trying to understand what’s happening I understand the concept and end theory but how it works In relation to the movie it’s fucking wild

“Bringing a son into a world you knew was ending” is a funny sin

The my cocaine joke caught me so off guard omg

Multiple times you gave sins to parts where something is damaged by something from the future moving backwards in time. For example, the bullet in the opera siege. The effect of the inverted object will propagate in the direction it is flowing, here it is in the opposite direction of forward time. This effect will be visible, but the distance into the opposite direction of time will be reduced because the entropy opposes the natural entropy of the world. Neil explains this in the cargo box on the way back to Oslo. It is a concept known as entropic wind. Objects and their effects will not propagate very far into the opposite direction of time because entropic wind is pushing against the inverted effect. Hope this makes sense and clears up any confusion there.

I love how you Teneted the sin counter and made it count backwards. Respect! 🤛

I watched this 3 times and I'm still laughing at inverted shitting.

I swear Nolan is the only director who makes a movie more confusing the more times you watch it

Honestly the biggest sin for me was the 1 dimensional ‘trapped woman and mother’ character. I don’t even remember her name but there’s this bit where they tell her if her husband dies the whole universe will be destroyed and never have existed, and she just says something like ‘that means my son will too!’ Like omg stfu

"lady with all the equations showing up on the screen" hahahahahaha She's one of the greatest actresses in Brasil and I don't even know if I should sorry for bad English! This made my entire week funnier. Thanks

Teacher: The test isn’t that confusing. The test:

“It’s a Pincer move” “OooooooooO” Like that magically explained anything

I've just watched tenet and after I finished having my first ever epileptic fit I had to check out the sin count. This must have been a tough one to put together. Nice work cinemasins👍

First time I watched it, it actually made a surprising amount of sense; more than enough for me to understand... then I started thinking about the science and logic behind things and my head hurt. Just think about this: that final pincer attack from the perspective of the forward time people would look as if the battle field was already there because the inverted people are already there, and they would have to go into battle some time before the inverted people because they can coordinate attacks like bombs. Plus they would see dead inverted people come back to life, meaning they know what is going to happen to the person before they die. And all the damage is being repaired due to inversion, so they can see the aftermath of explosion, meaning that could change what they do, and there for paradox. All the damage done by the inverted people will forever go into the past. From the inverted people's perspective, they would have to arrive later that the normal people in order to attack at the same time, and the place would already be damaged from the forward people. Every above applies to the inverted people as well. All this to say this: 1- the battlefield will be destroyed infinitely: it was built destroyed, and it was destroyed again. How could something already destroyed be destroyed again? And 2nd: from the normal people's perspective, after an inverted is brought back to life because reversed time, and walks backwards into the time turning machine: what happens? After they come out unreversed, they aren't reversed anymore, so do they go into the machine again? That would cause an infinite loop. See what makes things so complicated?

This movie was made for cinemasins, but also also if this was pre-covid we wouldn't get this video until Christmas!

The sin about needing subtitles was dead on. Not knowing what they just said made this already confusing movie 10 times more so.

My biggest problem is how some inverted people are not wearing oxygen mask even though at some point we were told the inverted need mask since air behaves differently or sm sht. It was so inconsistent it made me mad

10:45 according to movie there’s also a thing called entropy wind so if you see the seen backwards the mirror would seemingly get repaired hours after it was broken due to entropic wind (The mirror was fine in the past but according to future events it was broken to be repaired so mirror would actually break itself without any reason to match timeline) but from a normal perspective, first mirror was fine but it would start to break itself hours before the car chase and will get to the stage where it would stop itself breaking without any reason and then happens the car chase which repairs the mirror 20:31 as we know Tenet organisation knows everything which will happen even if it’s in past or future due to information manipulation shown in the movie but it may be possible that Tenet organisation’s few members came inverted to pick up Niel’s body to revert it into normal to get decompose. Because the leader of the organisation already knew Niel will die so he took his body so that his body can decompose like normally (not everything is shown in the movie but we have to under stand it) 2:00 the entropic wind explains this scene too. The bullet hole from a normal perspective wasn’t there at first but it started to appear few hours before even it was shot just so that it could repair itself when it was shot. When seeing this inverted : the Niel fires the shot and the entropic wind tries to reverse the effect of something inverted so it will slowly repair the chair and then it would be gone but the bullet would still be there and there are million explanations to why bullet was there.

Michael Caine pronounced as “My Cocaine” killed me lmao

Watched this movie with my friend at the end he said. " I feel like we have been watching this movie all day and I'm still lost.." not gonna lie it did feel like it was a 5 hours movie..

When the blue and red teams are fighting invisible enemies, I was genuinely waiting for the reveal that they were pitted against each other for "temporal reasons".

So.. I went to the toilet, absorbing $hit from the toilet, then gave it my nutrition and vomitted it from my mouth that later turned into a burger

Me: Inception was confusing. Christopher Nolan: reeb ym dloh

It's amazing how you can watch a video that reveals things you hadn't caught in the movie, and through those details you become MORE confused about what happened in the story.

18:44 I actually did have to go back five seconds, so he was right.

Anyone tune into this with the hope CinemaSins would sarcastically clear things up for you and it still confuses you?

"My greatest sin was to bring a son into a world I knew was ending" Well, if you insist. ✅

Holy crap this cinemasins video was more entertaining than I ever thought it would be - the sins going backwards, the timer itself, his reaction to the building unexploding and exploding at the same time LMAO

I'm sure Nolan wishes to offer an audio commentary. Nobody on the production team chooses to join him 😆

Aww. He didn't use the clip from Flight where Denzel Washington is all like, "we're gonna rooollll it.... Tower, we are inverted. I repeat, we are inverted."

This is one of those rare movies where it is literally too confusing to tell if it’s good or bad

*We Live in a Twilight World* Quick say the response code : "and we pledge our loyalty to team Jacob" just don't let Neil hear you This had me dying lol 😆

can we all take a second to admire the utter awesomeness of this video? you literally need multiple watches to catch/understand everything. Bravo fellas this was entertaining as all hell 👏👏🤘🤘

3:45 They're implying that a reverse bullet passing through your body would act like a hollow-point round. So much more force and damage, while still somehow being "caught" by the gun.

“Can we just get to the unwrecking car already?”

As someone who plays Viola, I felt a new kind of pain seeing that opening scene.

Well done, you have successfully confused me more than the actual movie 😅

Thanks for pointing out the „small“ big problems with the inversion, like the bullet hole in the opera, the dead body, the car getting wrecked by nothing and so on

I love how he starts removing sins at 71 because its like reverting time like the movie

There's actually a nice theory about Sator's real employers: So, Tenet is basically a paradox movie in which the past and the future affect each other mutually, with a table spoon of time loops. The theory goes like this: Sator was wrong thinking he had been hired by some bad people from the future in order to assemble all the pieces of the algorithm and bury it in Stalsk-12 explosion. In fact, he was hired for this job by the Protagonist (from the future). Think of it this way (keep in mind the paradoxical nature of the movie): the future version of the Protagonist was guiding the Sator from the past (using the instructions, buried in radioactive hot spots of the planet) to assemble the algorithm and send it into the future to the alleged 'bad people'. Yet the Tenet guys steal it from the hypocenter and keep it until the future Tenet guys (I'd say involving the 'Oppenheimer' scientist) revert it once again, so that the algorithm would travel back into the past. In the past, Sator is tasked by the Protagonist to assemble it and the whole thing starts over and over again. This way, we get a closed time loop that reminds me of a 'hot potato' - the Algorithm is kept relatively safe within a specific period of time between some point in the past and some point in the future, where everyone does their predetermined job and the Algorithm travels back and forth in time so that no one could really get a hold of it and use it.

This is one movie I watched and just couldn't get into it. Inception had me intrigued from the start. Better movie IMO and till this day, the music in that movie still gives me chills.

Number 68 about the car mirror actually really has me thinking

Twelve minutes huh? Don't understand it FEEL IT.

The "my cocaine" joke is incredible.

"Cops wait long enough!!!"- well mate u r forgetting that's Indian police we r talking about, they never arrive on time!!!!😅😅😅

Tenet is playing on HBO so it was like my 6th time going through it, but I just realized that Sator wasn't going to set off the algorithm, he was going to bury the algorithm and his death would send an email revealing the location of the dead drop so the evil future people could actually set it off to end the world. Team Tenet realizes this after the explosion at Stalsk 12 already happened and decides to travel back in time to that moment to stop Sator.... rather than simply traveling forward to a time after the Tallinn incident (a time where there is no living Sator since Sator inverted in Tallinn)... and simply digging up the algorithm and destroying it then.

I thought CinemaSins made a mistake when the sins started going backwards.

The "lady with all the equations" meme is actually Brazilian actress Renata Sorah, in the unforgettable role of Nazaré Tedesco, the main villain in the very popular Brazilian soap opera Senhora do Destino aka Lady of Fate.

Momento happened first, inside Inception, Tenet hasn't happened yet.

It’s like how you rarely notice it when you lose both of your socks but always notice it when lose just one. When the important and powerful object of a story is destroyed in the first place, there wouldn’t be a story of preventing it falling into the wrong hands, cos it doesn’t exist anymore.

This movie was so confusing. Even for a time travel movie it was a whole nother level of crazy.

What? - Everyone who watched this movie and the CinemaSins on it

I was wondering why all the sins were reducing until I realised we were in reverse time

“go full Pitt” 😂

Cinema sins’s a genius: “everything wrong with Tenet in 12 minutes” Video proceed to be 24 min *12min in regular time 12min inverted and they do the same for the sins Bravo cinema sins bravo 👏 👏👏

Tenet exist Everyone: I’m so confused Time: don’t ask me bro

18:17 Yeah, where are all the "bad guys"?! This was the most glaring oversight imo. I was so confused. "WHO ARE THEY SHOOTING AT?!"

5:47 how do they eat in reverse entropy? Do they start with empty plates and throw up the food?

20:37 His body was taken during the temporal pincer movement by the blue team. There is a short moment after the red team lands at stalzk-12 where the protagonist takes a glimpse at the returning blue team and sees 2 of them carrying a body (which is presumably the body of Neil). This is my theory regarding the situation.

Took me a minute to figure out that after the protagonist inverts in the 14 minute mark, the sins go backwards

3:43 'an inverted bullet passing through your body would be devastating. . . But the same bullet being inverted back into a gun would be just fine, apparently.'

14:09 easy answer to his question, if he decided not to take the step then the puddle would have never formed. No matter how hard you tried to trick it you can never get the reaction of something you won't do.

I would’ve loved to see Nolan try and explain all the parts to the rest of the film crew.

Been waiting for this one for a while...

“I’m not sure what frequency Kenneth is operating on here, but you can probably find it on your dial somewhere near ‘loves the taste of the scenery’.7 FM.” This may be the best line you've ever written. The LAYERS, man.

Isn’t the scene with the people overlooking the transport in Estonia? Wouldn’t that make those guys Estonian, not ukrainian? Also 12:57 they said oxygen can’t pass through inverted lungs, that doesn’t mean the oxygen and everything else is inverted (though maybe the specific oxygen molecules in the turnstile for a brief moment). I believe at that point it’s just the protagonist and that saab are the only inverted items while the rest of the world is forward

Here's a sin for you: Estonians and Ukrainians are completely different people

Mind Screw: The CinemaSins Edition. And since we're on the subject of mind-screwing, you guys should do Black Swan.

15:25 It doesn't necessarily mean that they won at that point. What Neil says is actually very relevant and a good explanation of the position that they're in, but it's very condensed so hard to understand at first. But basically, maybe you could experience failing and then that "branch" of time would cease existing as you died because of its relationship to your consciousness. So perhaps we always start at a branch of time without paradox, but there may be nothing stopping us from creating paradoxes which end our existence. ...Others have explained it better than me but yeah.

11:49 okay that hurry up sound, sounds eerie as hell

Having the movie sin timer move forward or backward depending on which direction the scene is moving is genius

TLDR: shit happens. Then it unhappens.

Doctor Who fans after watching this movie were a) not confused at all because they've seen worse and b) wondering where to put Edward as an incarnation of River Song in the Doctor Who timeline.

This is certainly one of the most clever videos you have produced, CinemaSins.
