Do People Actually Talk Like This
19 September 2021
It's not that the whole movie is filled with unusual dialogue but half the time it feels as if there aren't conversations happening but monologues. I understand it's based off a play but that's what you have to do when adapting a play to a film.

Makes it hard to follow when you don't really care about half of what's being said.

I Love It When This Happens
2 July 2021
I love finding a movie I've never heard of before, made before I was even born, and absolutely loving nearly every minute of it.

Kirk Douglas is phenomenal with his speech about how slow the white man's death through justice can be. I couldn't recommend this enough.

Tenet (2020)

Many positive reviews of Tenet suggest that you either need to watch it twice or see it in IMAX where it was meant to be seen (or both). The problem with these caveats is that first a movie actually needs to make you want to see it and second, it will only be in IMAX for a small sliver of time.

I did not find it hard to understand the plot of this movie. Time inversion is reversing the flow of time for select items/people and a evil doer wants to stop time from continuing at all.

Are there amazing moments in Tenet? Yes. Visually speaking it's a masterpiece practically, but the story is almost secondary to the action and spectacle.

The audio was bad but everyone has complained about that so I'll just say I agree with that.

No. I shouldn't be forced to watch a movie I didn't like the first time just to pick up on a few other things or to fully experience some moment since I already know what's going to happen. I also shouldn't be forced into going to a specific screen to experience it a specific way or it won't be as effective. If these are the case than you are not making a movie, you are making a limited experience much like an amusement park ride.

Guy Pearce has done some truly remarkable work. I would suggest the recent Christmas Carol as a fine example.

Almost every second of this baffling bad movie has cringe worthy acting and the most absurd action moments.
