Tenet, 2 hours of utter tosh

And bullshit physics. Their physics advisor must have been on acid.

[malumbu]

And apparently indecipherable dialogue. Reminds me of seeing Millers Crossing at the old single screened Ritzy

LOL you must have hated Sliders :)

I haven't seen it yet, but I haven't enjoyed Nolan's last few movies so it doesn't surprise me to hear this

But I do like his earlier films and especially love The Prestige

Why did you see it? Were you forced to watch it or something?

[Chick]

I saw it because it was good to go back to the cinema. There was a film out years ago called Tron, which was Disney and had the protagonists riding motor bikes inside a computer on the printed circuit boards trying to kill each other. Telnet was better but not much.

Ah well. Seems a shame to leave the cinema before the film's finished, doesn't it? There's always the hope it might perk up before the end!

that was the heyday of tech films - I couldn't even watch beyond 10 mins of the latest star wars (saved it to try again later)

I had a feeling I would think the same, but would go just for the novelty after so many months. I speak as someone who went about twice a week pre covid!

Well I?m going to go against the tide and say I bloody loved it. Not Kenneth Branagh?s atrocious accent or Elizabeth Debicki?s mournful looks (such a waste of a great actress) but the rest was fabulous. Bonkers and in no way scientifically accurate (!) but beautifully shot and nicely wrapped up at the end. Long though.

I liked Inception.

Does that mean I might like this?!

I am very glad you liked it!

Saw it, didn't follow it, read the below, still don't know what the hell happened 🤣🤣🤣

I still enjoyed it, though 🤣

We saw it up the road, there were only four people there!

Empire described it as "bonkers". I agree. Bonkers in a good way, though!

All the acting was brilliant, apart from Michael Caine, who just seemed to be going through the motions. But then - he's Michael Caine .....

Oh, and there were a few good jokes amongst the violence 🤣

Fantasy doesn't have to be scientifically accurate or we'd all have hated 'Back to the Future'.

[Sephiroth]

Prestige is still Nolan's best film

Are you talking about the fact that Marty didn't have Parkinsons's in the future?

[too dark?]

[hpsaucey]

Memento for me...

The Prestige still a cracker though...
