fun fact: no replica plane was used, Nolan just straight up drove a plane into a building for the effect. This one takes a lot of thought to really get everything, and then there's still more to get.

The inverted fight with himself is logistically and conceptually insane. Like how do you even think of that?

This is one of those movies where Nolan stuck to the concept so fucking hard that it genuinely melts your brain trying to follow why and how things are working. For example, theres a 3d breakdown of the stalsk-12 battle on youtube and you can tell just how much effort was put into making sure that they were following their own rules for this movie. Basically, the more you try to understand how it works the more complex it gets but also thats why its so fascinating.

So glad more people are giving this film a chance than when it was released ;)

The music is the most notable part of it for me. So much style, adrenaline and some awesome synths, and to have it front and center and so very clear and audible in the film itself is great. It helps that the action and aesthetics are some of the strongest Nolan's done.

My favourite mind blowing moment is that during the last battle scene there are 4 Neil's existing at the same time. There is the one who is going to reverse his entropy to save the Protagonist and Ives; there is the one with normal entropy; one is driving a truck to save Ives and the Protagonist; and then there’s the one who’s already done that, and reversed his entropy again and who is now going to open the door that will be blocking Ives and the Protagonist’s way. The final Neil is in the opera house at the start of the film which takes place during the exact same time as the last battle wearing the same red ribbon. Mind blowing! If you want to go deeper, some people think the young son of the women is actually Neil too as a child before he grows up and inverts several times as an adult so that's 5 Neil's! 🤯

P: "You've known me for years?" N: "We get up to some stuff. You're gonna love it!" Fucking love this movie!

This movie is a trip! Excited to see what you think of it. Each time I've watched it I've enjoyed it more.

That whole airport scene, and then seeing it backwards was just absolutely insane! Definitely the most memorable part of this film in my opinion

One of my favorite aspects is how there is so much implied additional story and worldbuilding that isn't depicted directly. You could easily do two or three more movies where the protagonist gets older, builds the agency, recruits and trains younger Neil, goes on more ops together, etc. Additionally, there is a ton of evidence that Neil is the woman's kid, after he grows up (Pattinson dyed his hair and speaks in a slightly more posh accent to match the look of the kid and the accent of the mother, and "Neil" could be the reverse of the last four letters of a less common spelling of Maximilien). Additionally, Michael Caine's character and Ives (bearded soldier, playing up a cockney accent like Caine's) might be the same person. Which would imply that all of these agents are just going back and forth in time all within this period of a few months. Which means all of the espionage and ops going down are just layers upon layers of the bad guys trying to change these series of event over and over and the good guys stopping them over and over. While I doubt Nolan will actually do some sequels (prequels? pre-sequels?!), out of all of his original movies, this is the one I'd love to see more of. John David Washington in a time inverting James Bond franchise needs to happen. Title might be weird though. What do you call it? 2Tenet2? Anyway, keep up the great stuff James. You're one of my favorite go to channels for a couple of years now. Love re-watching movies with you.

Rewatches are a must, I’ve seen it four times and I still learn something new every time

saw this 3 times in theaters. i simply adore this movie.

I love this movie and my friend hates it so much. I legit think this film is actually pretty good. It’s a shame people think this film is a noisy, loud mess.

I watched this in theaters on release weekend. I'm glad Christopher Nolan insisted on a theatrical release despite the shutdowns. David Washington was great in this. He brings so much physicality while still being suave. (Very James Bondish). He does a lot of his own stuntwork and fight coreography, including learning how to fight backwards. There's some crazy BTS videos out there. This is a Nolan original. I'm pretty sure he writes all his movies. I think he was thinking about this concept since Memento. The dude is kinda crazy, including crashing a real plane into a real building. This movie is great on rewatches. Lots of theories going around, including (my favorite) Neil being the kid.

This movie is truly ahead of its time, it is literally a part of the story to watch this movie more than once In order to get a true perspective

The sound design during the opening Opera scene in IMAX is the best thing I've ever heard in a movie theatre

I saw Tenet 3 times in theaters, one being in IMAX. Such a fun time!

Kenneth Branaugh is such a damn good actor. Especially when he gets to play the bad guy. He really gets into the roles. Super intense. Can go from calm, controlled, quiet, to absolute rage and violence in an instant. Nolan just operates on an entirely different level from other mortals.

Love your reactions. Hope you are doing well. I was one of 4000 extras in the beginning opera scene. It was filmed in Estonia as was some of the Freeport scenes as well the car theft/chase stuff. It was so exciting to be a part of a phenomenal movie like this. (still haven't found myself in the crowd tho)

i’ll tell you watching this in an IMAX cinema was one of the best movie watching experiences i’ve ever had. The soundtrack still gives me chills. I Got the movie on blu-ray and after the third or fourth watch, i still caught and understood new things. Luv this

One of my favorite aspects of this movie is how often the protagonists are moving against the flow of the scene even when they aren’t inverted. The reverse bungee jump, walking against the crowd in the airport, driving the wrong way in traffic, etc. It keeps your mind in the right space even when time shenanigans aren’t happening onscreen.

I've seen this film so many times and to this day it still entertains the shit out of me. Honestly my favourite movie of all time.

Revisiting this after a year, it's a masterpiece. Numerous extremely innovative action sequences, a gripping plot, A+ performance from Kenneth Brannaugh and Liz Dibecki. Pattinson's extremely charming and swashbuckling, and Denzel Jr. is pretty solid, if limited. Perfect, no, but it's attempting so much all at once and hits on almost every one.

This is a very strange Sci Fi Action Adventure film from Christopher Nolan, where he gives us a more realistic approach to Time Travel.

This one's special for me. I first saw it on New Year's Eve with my mom. It ended around midnight and immediately after it ended we watched it again. Making it the last movie we saw in 2020 and the first in 2021. I LOVE this movie 🖤 (That ending gives me chills)

Seen it twice, and I absolutely love it.

I don't understand why this one was hated on. I liked it even more than Memento (another Chris Nolan Time thriller) Just because you don't understand doesn't mean you can't enjoy and appreciate. The cinematography and colorgrading alone made my spine tingle but the soundtrack and practical stunts and action set pieces really made me not think about the INVERSION too much and just enjoy the film forwhat it is. (I had to watch the movie 3 times and multiple KZfaq explanation vids to comprehend Tenet) once you finally get whats going on around the 3rd watch, it feels like the most satisfying math problem in the world and watching the movie in that light really makes you realize how crazy genius the script writers were(or they were probably on crack)

I’m so glad you finally got to see TENET I’m becoming a patron right away to see the full reaction. I’ve seen it around 14 times now every time with people who hadn’t seen it before their reactions love it. I had high hopes seeing this movie for the first time and until around 50% I was kinda disappointed but then the highway scene started and it blew my mind and continued to do so right till the end. My favorite Christopher Nolan film. And one of my favorites in general.

Theory I heard about this film is that Kat's son is actually Niel who The Protagonist trains from a young age to travel back and save his life. Something about the last four letters of Maxamillien spells Neil (kind of a reach I know), but it is an interesting concept to play with when watching the movie. Explains some of why Niel would know so much ahead of time and why his scenes with Kat seem sorta more heart felt

I feel this movie is underrated. It definetly had its flaws, but the major action scenes are flawless and the general story is solid

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this reaction for so long

It boggles my mind that this movie went over a lot of peoples heads! This will circle back again, like music. I would love to react to a movie with you man!!

This movie is so freaking cool. Incredible visuals and soundtrack. It feels almost otherworldly. Whenever I watch one of Nolan's films I stop to appreciate the fact that I get to be alive in this day and age to experience things like this. Glad you enjoyed. I had fun re-experiencing the movie along with you.

Awesome video man loved the reaction👏🙌 Keep it going !

It's so cool how they're stringing him along, when in the end it was him pulling all the strings without realizing.

I personally like this movie, while not as good as other Nolan films, I love the soundtrack and the action scenes are cool.

I love this movie and the rewatch-ability is great!

Someone made a video essay on YT about Tenet and in it he suggests that Nolan is so accomplished as a director he sets a challenge for himself by doing what you are not supposed to do. In the case of Tenet that would be creating a main character without intrinsic motivation or story arch. We only know about him through what he does in the story and he is such a blank slate he doesn't even have a name but is simply credited as The Protagonist. It's an interesting take.

Love this film!! We went to see it in theaters twice - during a pandemic - because it is just that good. So glad we got the chance to see it on the big screen. Absolutely epic.

Yay thank you for reacting to Tenet! Can't wait to watch 😍

Subtitles helped a ton on rewatch. Apparently Nolan doesn’t do ADR which was very clear in this one. The one gripe I shared with a lot of people. Lol

Absolutely fantastic reaction, intelligent, informed, and done so well. Well done. Will look out for more from you.

Just found your channel. Love it and your joy at this movie. My brain also broke but it's one of my favorites now. That soundtrack is killer.

An' yeah, the performances're crazy good. Didn't realize 'til like 3/4 of the way through that was Kenneth Branagh as the villain. And he just perfectly exudes that monstrous villainy, not even just psychopathic but bordering on inhuman. You eventually realize what he's threatening to do, and what you see of his character up to that point makes you completely believe he'd do it too.

Absolutely love this film. I get that some people don't like to have to actually think about what the plot is about, but I like a film to challenge my brain a bit

I've been putting off watching this. Thanks for pushing me to finally watch it by doing a reaction...🤟

I finally saw this film last week while it was 1 month back in theaters and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Such an awesome film. Great music and visuals. And I love that the lead is a black man spy without that being its focus. He just, is. Chefs kiss 👌🏾

this movie is soooooo good like so so clever i'm so glad you got it and your commentary was amazing ((:

Finallyyy bro been requesting this for over a year

While this isn't in my top 5 Nolan Films, I appreciated so much the ambition he had in making this film and there are so many great moments of cinema in this. Ludwig's score is also fantastic in this! I agree the pacing is done really well and made it a really fun ride both times I saw it. I have a feeling it will be one of those films that is looked back on better as time goes by

This was my most awaited movie of 2020 and I remember the fear and the hype of going to a deserted cinema to watch it It was a magical experience and I really liked the movie. I hope everyone can enjoy it and appreciate it as I do.

I love how everything gets tied together at the end, so mind boggling in the process but understanding in the end.

Stay Blessed bro am a fan of ur channel much love from Houston tx 🤲🏾

What's up man! Last year I kinda half booty butt watched this film while cleaning my house and never gave it the attention the film deserved. Always, always enjoy your reactions so I actually saw this for the first time with the reaction. Very interesting film. I need to go back and watch it a few more times. The cinematography is pretty dang cool. Have a good one sir

Tenet is one of my favorite movies. That is why I regularly check whether anyone has recorded their reaction to this film. It cannot be denied that Tenet is a rather heavy film and it is good to watch it several times to catch all the details. Moreover, I watched Tenet in IMAX and it was an audiovisual masterpiece. I liked your reaction very much. I'd love to see Your reaction to my favorite movie, Alita: Battle Angel, by James Cameron and directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Dude i love your reaction , you are really clever and insane observer!!! Tenet will be my favourite movie of all time , the hardwork put in this movie is beyond insaane! its just amazing!

So happy you enjoyed!

This movie is my 4th favorite Nolan movie. Most people don't appreciate the story and the filmmaking. Thanks for reacting and appreciating the movie. BTW the airplane was real. They had put vehicle engines in an older scrapped unit. and They built a building so that it could crash into it.

f**k YES. glad you finally got to this!

Damn, I wish I had seen this on the big screen in a theater! Thanks for posting!

Since you asked...The boats they are racing are catamarans (I think, I'm not a boat guy) using hydrofoils. A hydrofoil is basically an underwater wing. It provides lift to the boat to lift the hull out of the water to reduce drag. So what you can't see is a large underwater wing lifting up the boat.

I really enjoy this movie, add to it having one of my favourite scores! 3:00 also had the same reaction in the theatre, I LOVE that shot with the bass just hitting you. Glad to see you enjoyed the film as well.

I absolutly love this movie. It's a yearly must see for me now and everytime I discover something new.

It is brilliant and absolutely consistent within it's insanity. I saw it last night and refreshed myself with your reaction video on KZfaq. You caught a lot more than I did, on first view. I did not follow it. but was impressed by the set pieces. It truly did hurt my eyes at times. The Highway chase driving backwards. the bullet holes undone. Birds landing, What a ride. It made a little more sense on second view, I suppose if I saw it a third time, I might catch the nuance. Beautifully shot and scored. Could you imagine editing it ? Crazy, Tenet makes perfect non sense. Like riding a roller coaster backwards. what a trip. My Father use to have a cute saying. He would ask, "Whats the difference between a duck?" His answer was, "One foot is both the same". In a Chris Nolan film it makes sense. lol

Glad to see you enjoyed Tenet! I'm not super well versed in Christopher Nolan films, but I found this movie utterly captivating and wild to watch. I don't care how insane and unrealistic the hypothetical science is - it resulted in some bonkers-looking cinema, I was thoroughly entertained, and the concepts are really interesting! My mind boggles trying to think of how a Tenet video game would work.

I love that you pointed out the color grading at 4:17!! That’s something that’s stuck with me after watching this movie at least a dozen times. Even after analyzing it for so long I’ve still tried to figure out why this choice was made, bc I personally love it.

Just felt compelled to say ... you seem like a really cool dood. Always enjoy your reactions and comments.. hope you're doing well

I've watched this movie 5 times so far, the small details they don't explain are even more insane when whats already in the film: The palindrome music, the Tenet Square being the focal point...Opera/Arepo, Sator/Rotas and Tenet being in the middle of that all palindromes. This film easily became my number 1 all time after the 3rd watch, my mind was being blown away when I started to look at the fine details a little more.

Re-watching this film with James' commentary was fun. Now I understand certain scenes much better, and the movie at its whole.

Saw this in theatre, it was awesome but I didn’t understand half of it. Had to watch it again when I could stream it and I really enjoyed it the third time watching this reaction! Btw, you looked SO good in the intro 🔥

Bro, this is the first time I’ve seen you without a hat. Hair game is on point!

just starting - nice to see your hair in the intro! looking good!!!

Watching someone react to my favorite movie for the first time is amazing

Love it. Feel like I understand everything like 95% but that missing 5% is what keeps it so intriguing even after the credits role. A lot of the details and logic are continually explained and explained well, but the questions pop up again when something about seeing those explanations play out doesn't quite line up like I thought it would. Extremely fascinating concept, heady, and the execution is just downright f'ing cool!

Great reaction!

Yeah I listen to this soundtrack almost every day. One of my favorite films of the 2020s so far one of the most imaginative sci-fis I’ve ever seen

I love how you were like obviously that plane is a prop but in reality Christopher Nolan crashed a real life airplane LOL. The dude is just amazing at what he does and practical effects.

This is the highest of high-level concepts with Christopher Nolan and his technical ability behind the wheel. Combined with a grade A cast who gave stellar performances and you have one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. It was unfortunate that it came out during covid. I did watch it at home with surround sound but would have loved to have seen it on the big screen.

This movie blew my mind first time I watched it lol Also I can’t wait for you to react to Nope. You’re going to love it

Love this film. Really great on rewatches. And I never had even heard of the ROTAS stone prior to this. Absolutely fascinating piece of ancient history that will never be explained.

You just watched "homeboy who looks like Tom Hardy" in the last movie, KickAss. That was Kick Ass. The kid grew up into a legit actor. He's also in Outlaw King and he's kind of psychotic in it.

Love the soundtrack to this movie. Especially the scene with the fire truck And yes, that was a real plane.

I love your first observation of Robert Pattinson’s character. Literal gold.

I saw it 2x in the movie theatre when it came out. One of the best movie going experiences of my life. I even have a Sator square tattooed on my arm.

There might be other movies more so like this but other than inception, this is one of the most trippiest movies I’ve ever seen

Saw this twice in cinemas, I love it every time I watch it. I have issues with the film but it is undeniably awesome!

This was the first film I saw when cinemas opened up again. It was quite a wild ride and I was able to discern immediately what the film was going for. It helps when you’ve seen enough Bond films to see what he is inspired by writing this one. Seen it about 4 times in IMAX now and my goodness it was worth it.

Just one of the coolest films I have ever seen. Nothing more, nothing less

I really enjoyed it. The visuals were top class.

One of the best movies the past 10 years I remember seeing it with my middle school crush completely alone it the cinema and it was so good!

I absolutely love this film! Was unlike anything I've seen. Such a unique concept, looked and sounded great. Loved your reaction! I'm sad I never got to see it in IMAX but was still great to see in the cinema. The fact Nolan crashed an actual plane into a building is so damn cool. Can't wait for Oppenheimer.

The soundtrack is BANGING 🔥 Sound design in general

so glad I watched this one in theaters

Great stuff man, love this film

Love this movie. You should rewatch it as fast as possible, it's a whole new experience when you've already beent here once. The loop continues

If this thing didn't show us the time travel aspect, peoples minds would be BLOWN.

That building explosion at the minute 27:49 was literally my head watching this movie.

I loved this film and I really how Nolan interpreted the concept of time inversion and it’s crazy to see how detailed it was. And just this film alone has me so excited for Oppenheimer because of Nolan’s ability as a director and writer second the cast is just so damn stacked and I’m stoked to see what each cast member brings to the table in that film but as for Tenet the acting in this film was just so amazing and I’m definitely look forward to John David Washington’s future roles as well as Robert Pattinson’s

i'm just glad movies like this exist.
