Nolan and director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema ( Ad Astra, Dunkirk, Interstellar) opted to shoot on large-format 65mm IMAX, Panavision and Arriflex cameras, and it’s this that gives Tenet an at-times other-worldly feel. Like the UHD disc releases for his earlier Interstellar, Dunkirk and Dark Knight trilogy movies, there’s a clarity and contrast here that is best-in-class.
Picture: It’s no surprise, considering Christopher Nolan’s passion for picture quality, that Tenet arrives on 4K Blu-ray looking utterly gorgeous. The upshot is a film that, for all of its technical perfection and epic set-pieces, is strangely unexciting and uninvolving. As the name of John David Washington’s lead character, ‘the Protagonist’, hints at, the people in the film are little more than cyphers, pawns for Nolan to play with, rather than three-dimensional human beings. The sheer technical complexity of the production and level of ambition is clear to see, but Nolan has forgotten to imbue the story with any real sense of humanity. Want to see a 747 crashed into a hanger for real? Or how about a battle scene that plays out simultaneously in both forward and reverse time? Tenet has all that, and much more besides.īut it's an easier film to admire than it is to enjoy. In true Nolan fashion the resulting film is full of spectacular set-pieces. To wit, Tenet is a globetrotting action thriller in the James Bond mould, albeit with an additional layer of sci-fi gimmickry involving ‘inverted entropy’ that allows objects and people to move backwards through time.
