Nolan’s Time and Mind Bending Epic is a Must Buy
Having missed Tenet in the theatres, I was eagerly waiting for this Blu-ray, and thanks to Excel Innovators 2.0 I got the 4K steelbook for only Rs. 2799/- , a pretty amazing deal. The steelbook is absolutely beautiful and it came in excellent packaging. It consists of 3 discs - the 4K Blu-ray with HDR, the regular Blu-ray and the special features disc. I must thanks the Excel team in this regard for they really understand the value attached to a luxury, collectible item like this one and take proper care in delivering the same. Kudos to the entire team. Now lets talk about the picture and audio quality.Picture Quality-Since the regular steelbook version was not available, I had to purchase the 4K set even though I do not have a UHD setup as of now. So I can only speak about the regular 1080p Blu-ray. And it is FANTASTIC- to say the least. The video is exceptionally crisp, clear and beautifully bright. The IMAX sequences presented in 1.78:1 are of reference quality. Nolan movies are known for their world-class cinematography and this Blu-ray does full justice to Hoyte van Hoytema’s magnificent, Oscar-worthy work. The many action-packed sequences are all visual delights. Full marks to this stunning HD presentation.Audio Quality-As with all of Nolan’s films, this one also comes with a 5.1 DTS-HD mix and not some fancy object based audio or even a 7.1 mix. But this is no ordinary 5.1 audio. This is a superb, dynamic mix with terrific surround usage. The audio may also be a bit too loud but the one thing that this Blu-ray will be known for is its Bass. The Bass on this thing is heavy, punchy, packs a lot of power and is room-shaking. Clarity is outstanding and the dynamics are well maintained throughout. The front soundstage is amazingly large and along with the endlessly employed surrounds, it creates an enveloping listening area that really elevates the movie watching experience. I, however, feel that a movie of this magnificent scale deserves an Atmos mix and if Nolan’s team can achieve this with 5.1 it is unimaginable what they can do with object based audio.Tenet comes with fantastic audio and video and is highly recommended. Remember this - Streaming can NEVER match the quality of Physical Discs. It is high time we support physical media. Now Hit the “Helpful” button below and go buy this Blu-ray.LONG LIVE PHYSICAL MEDIA !

A Steelbook as good as the movie.
This Steelbook is great to say the least, I preordered it and got on 6th Jan instead of the original 8th Jan delivery date so that was great. And the picture quality of the 4K disc is remarkable with great HDR usage and almost non existent film grain. People have complained about the loud sound mixing but that's what makes movies sound better in the theater. There are around an hour of bonus features to better understand the difficulties and the logistics of making such a movie.Overall, definitely recommended for a Nolan fan.

Faut regarder au moins 2 fois
Il faut regarder ce film au moins 2 fois car il y a trop de choses qui s'y passe exemple quand on voit une femme plongée, à la fin on comprend pourquoi. C'est un film très intelligent et il ne faut pas le regardé que d'un oeil . Bravo , le dernier film qui m'a " touché " autant était vol au dessus d'un nid de coucou. Ou même l'effet papillon.

Una excelente película poco comprendida
Lo único que me molestó es que la caja que proteje la caja de los discos vino maltratada, partes sin pintura con algunas esquinas dobladas, mejor seria no mandarla en ese estado

Good, not great, but definitely good!
How does one rate a movie like "Tenet?" Should I rate it based on my own preferences or what I think general audiences should enjoy? It's a polarizing film and I want to be helpful to someone who might want to watch it. I guess I sort of have to just stay true to myself and hope that's helpful. With that I'd say "Tenet" is a good movie. Great? No, but good.The dialog is busy like an episode of "Gilmore Girls." The actors have to spit out their lines rapidly. This makes scenes feel rushed and unnatural. Adding to this problem is how scenes are cut very close to their essence/exposition. While there are establishing shots in some scenes in others there are not. It makes the pacing great but it makes the experience kind of loose. What I mean by that is that it feels like trying to read the pages of a comic book but each page is attached to a car of a passing train. You constantly feel like the story is getting away from you and you get almost fatigued from intense focus. All this not withstanding, whether you like it or not, important scenes will get past you and that is not a great feeling.The scene where the bullets have to be intended to be dropped before they can reverse entropy has similarities with "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." It's subtle enough that the comparison is not obvious but that bit of silliness is hiding beneath the surface. In "Bill and Ted's" all they needed to do to place something where they needed it was to merely intend on changing it in the past and VOILA it was there! The Protagonist is told to interact with these reversed arms out of instinct. This was reminiscent of another Nolan film "Memento" where a different type of memory is triggered, "know how," when a physical action is done enough (burning the poloroids). While I'm on similarities to other Nolan films the notion of a hiest has become all to common in his movies now. This is the mark of a storied career but may also show difficulty stepping out of his comfort zone when pushing the narrative in his story. I've heard him mention "meeting narrative demands" before in reference to why time is a ubiquitous feature in his films but one's hand is not always forced. Indeed, at this point in his career he is the one pushing time into his films. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love it, but let's not pretend it's not his thing either.The mystery of how the world could come to an end is compelling but hiding the "how" question's answer comes with a cost, namely the price is tension. Because through much of "Tenet" we don't fully understand the threat we can't feel the need to see the Protagonist meet his goals. At one point I thought it was fascinating that I could not comprehend how the Protagonist could stop the end of the world because I didn't even know the problem, I just had to trust that he could stop these forces from the future from doing whatever it is they do. That curiosity is great but I was so far in over my head that I had to let the threat just wash over me because after all I couldn't understand it anyway (this part of the human condition is actually alluded to later). I believe Nolan tried to fix this with a very threatening antagonist and a score that helped me feel the threat as immediate. However I'd liken it to nuclear proliferation in the post Cold War world: I can't be expected to remotely be able to track something like that so I spend no time worrying about it even though I'm told I should be very worried about it (again all of this is alluded to later). In short: rather than the audience hanging on hoping that the antagonist will solve and resolve the problem in swift order we are really reduced to a babe in the woods with our heads buried in the sand even if we want to see the truth. Again, like in "Memento" we just have to believe the world is still there even when our eyes are closed.Now one can blame Nolan for supplementing the confusion with a doom inspired score. It is beyond effective, but I'd say it's too effective. The greatest thing about "Tenet" should be its rewatchability but alas there is a problem here as well: between the mental energy and stress one feels from hearing the gripping music and deep base of engines and distant explosions "Tenet" is stressful to watch. I'm not sure I really can come back to watch it that often. It takes something out of you.When the Protagonist enters the version of the world going in reverse entropy, the blue time frame, he's inverted and we are seeing what he sees. To this point we have seen several temporal interlopers as well as some bullets, vehicles, and many other things in a reversed entropic state. Now we are seeing the Red enter the Blue and the entire world is reversed entropy for our main character. The Protagonist is warned not to come into contact with himself or annihilation. This is a further hint of things to come and is letting the audience know what is ultimately on the line. This is Nolan at his best. He wanted us, the audience, to experience being inverted, not necessarily seeing time going in reverse. This, again, is similar to "Memento" where the narrative is told in reverse but only so we can experience short term memory loss. Additionally this has similarities to "Twin Peaks" and the Red Room. Everything except the main character, Agent Cooper, is reversed. It's a fascinating little cinematic experiment. Well "Tenet" dials that up by about fifty. The best way to experience this movie at this point is to experience what Nolan wants you to experience, he's trying to give you a feeling you've never had before and it is truly edifying to his audience.A note on the time line: The Protagonist is such for several reasons but an important one is that we see the story from his time line. When "Tenet" begins we are in the "red" timeline or more accurately the red entropy. So The Protagonist's timeline runs parallel with the red entropy. When The Protagonist enters the turnstile he goes into the blue entropy but temporally speaking is still forward for the protagonist yet is a reverse timeline. So, like the trains going in two directions at the beginning, so are the two timelines. During all of this the Protagonist is going forward. Simple enough, well, except one thing: the second turnstile. The Protagonist has now re-entered the Red entropy but earlier in the red timeline. So after about half way through the second act The Protagonist's timeline, while still forward, is actually behind where we begun at the start. This means things are still being manipulated by a force in the future. What is that force:WARNING SPOILERSThat force is The Protagonist himself. As it turns out the movie "Tenet" is about one big temporal pencer devised by The Protagonist. We are told much of this at the very end. What is really interesting though is that the antagonist is dying and is going to take the world with him. The Protagonist passed a test at the beginning where he was willing to die to save others. This played out with the two trains going in opposite directions while a fight was on for the silver suicide pill that will come in later.So, as it turns out, The Protagonist is named as such for several reasons: we are following only his timeline, "Tenet" itself is about his temporal pencer strategy, and finally his unique position makes him the only possible protagonist as no one else has access to all the elements of the world. On that final point he is speaking to a character that asks him a question and The Protagonist responds, "divided knowledge" to keep him in line but in truth no one knows enough to be the protagonist but The Protagonist himself. Finally we learn that the protagonist is also posterity which is future generations. The final scene is him wrapping up all the loose ends and he did so from the beginning to the end.

Do Not Buy If You Are Planning To Use The Digital Code
Despite its criticisms, I love this movie. And while you can presently find it on one of the many streaming services I subscribe to, I know that one day it will be "leaving." So if I like a film, I will purchase a physical copy (preferably) with a digital code to avoid the licensing issue of the movie moving from one streamer to another. Unfortunately, when I received my copy, I immediately noticed the coverslip said, "Redeem Code by 12/31/2021." Still, I ordered from Amazon directly (not a third-party reseller) this month (April 2023) and was unaware the expiration date was over one year and three months ago. So it is not as if I was shopping in-store and knew of the issue (otherwise, I would have either tried to find a working/active code or not bought it). So after learning of this, I contacted Warner Bros. Digital Customer Care, who told me they "do not have the ability to generate a replacement or renew a code once the digital offer has expired." Which is fine – but that is not why I reached out to them – I wanted to know if they were still manufacturing physical discs with usable digital codes. Their response puzzled me as they told me three times they could not give me a workable code. The problem is, I never asked for one (I know their reputation, which they affirmed in their initial reply). So the solution was simple; if they are still manufacturing Tenet in 2023 (whether Blu-ray or 4K) with a digital code, that will solve my problem. However, they could not understand the logic and no longer replied after reiterating/rewording my question.I will no longer buy ANY Warner Bros. physical discs unless it is in person and I can see the digital code's expiration date. Be careful. I have purchased physical movies that show expired codes (I had no intention of attempting to redeem them in such instances), and they all worked – sometimes nearly a decade later. While I would never expect or ask a studio to issue a replacement code when I could see its expiration upon purchase, Warner Bros. is in the wrong here. You receive what Amazon ships, so I had no clue I was buying only part of a product. By the way, the product pictures do not show an expiration date on the cover slip nor mention it in the description. This one is on Warner Bros.
