Tenet in "quite good movie" shock

I must admit that I wasn’t expecting that much from the Tenet movie. The reviews that I’d seen were a bit “meh” and made much of the mind bending “time running backwards” parts being highly confusing for the viewer.

For me it wasn’t that much of a problem, although a lot of the temporal tricks seemed to be there just so they could show some amazing set pieces. The good news is that time does run in different directions but the film does have a beginning, a middle, and a satisfactory ending, along with an over the top baddie, a damsel in distress and a ruthless hero.

If you view it as a James Bond movie with a title that reads the same forwards and backwards you’ll be just fine.
