Tenet (2020)

Jack and I did not enjoy this time travel drama. I can't even tell you what it's about. The most interesting part is that we saw it in a cinema during the pandemic––see below. Jack said, "It was like watching someone play a video game you don't understand." And I just space out when the space-time continuum is breached. It had good special effects, as I recall, but to what end?

Plenty of star power is in front of director/writer Christopher Nolan's camera: John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, and many more.

The soundtrack by Ludwig Göransson is available on Apple Music and other outlets.

Nolan was last blogged for Dunkirk, Washington (son of Denzel) for BlacKkKlansman, Pattinson for The Lighthouse, Caine for Going in Style, Branagh for Murder on the Orient Express, and Göransson for Black Panther.

On September 20, 2020, with nine millennial friends, we booked a private screening at a local theatre. It came to about $11 per person. The room had 46 seats and they allowed 23 people. Eleven seemed just right. Spread out by household, we wore masks throughout, unless we were actively eating or drinking. We scheduled it for right after opening on a Sunday so as to have the room as sanitary as possible. Too bad we didn't like the movie very much. Oh, and it's two and a half hours long. 

Rotten Tomatoes' critics and audiences liked it better than we did, averaging 71 and 76%, respectively.

If I haven't put you off too much, Rotten Tomatoes says you can buy it from Fandango or Vudu, but it's not yet available to rent or stream elsewhere.

The last movie we saw live was Downhill on February 20. I would consider doing the private screening thing again if only something I want to see would be offered.
