Saw the movie myself today. Honestly, underwhelmed. Mostly, it's just really confusing. Kind of feels like being dropped right in the middle of a sequel to a movie I hadn't seen, which might have been intentional, to replicate the feeling of the main character being deposited into a weird and confusing world of time travel and associated effects. But it creates a kind of off-putting viewing experience, IMO.
In some ways it's kind of a Doctor Who parallel at the end, with the main character (who is referred to as nothing else but "the Protagonist" in the movie) as the Doctor and Robert Pattinson's character as River Song.
Yeah, it’s very Ricer Song. Especially as you see him die at the beginning. Taking a bullet to save the lead. Something I didn’t even notice but my sister did.
I keep seeing complaints about the sound mix. That's most unfortunate. You would have thought that Nolan and his crew would have learned something from the past few movies of theirs that had this exact same problem.

I think I remember an interview about The Dark Knight Rises in which Nolan said he didn't think it was necessary for the audience to understand every word the characters said. Like, it was more about how they said it, or about the overall acoustic ambience of the scene, or something. So I don't think it happens by accident.
The lockdown is effectively still in place (adapted / eased somewhat) in Auckland, so still not out of the proverbially woods yet, in regards to the re-emergence - however where I’m based in the capital city Wellington, is not immediately affected by what is happening in Auckland (up north).
Looks like they were serious about not releasing this in drive-ins. That. Is. Insane. Well guess it'll be blu ray in 6 months for me then. Sad, since the film was filmed in IMAX, but oh well.

That Nolan would support that movie in a time of pandemic actually really turns me off him as a director to the point where I will really consider paying to watch any of his movies again.

He definitely argued for it being seen in the theatre--and we have not heard him speak out against it yet. I'll not pass judgment quite yet--we have a couple of years to wait for his next film.
ROTAS is the name of a company in the movie.
OPERA is the opening act of the movie
TENET besides being the title it's a codeword
AREPO I missed that
SATOR It's Branaghs charater name.

It was the first thing I thought of when I heard what the movie was called. Of course, Nolan's schtick, sorry trademark, is messing with time and space.

It's not completely banned from drive ins, it can open in drive ins as long as regular theaters are open in the area. Which isn't really that helpful, since most of people wanting it in a drive-ins are the people in areas where the regular theaters aren't open.
