Armed with only one word -- Tenet -- and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.

Yup. I wasn’t a big fan of interstellar, but this looks great

This is a weird observation that I can’t articulate well but the design of that door at the 1:00 mark of the latest trailer screams Christopher Nolan to me.

I doubt any Nolan film will ever top Memento for me, but this one looks like it could compete with Dark Knight for my #2 favorite.
Yeah Inception II starring Pattinson could be a really great time.

Wow, that trailer really does remind you of Inception. Can't wait.

Did you see Blackkklansman? Denzel’s son is great too.
Yeah I actually really enjoyed it, and disagree with the critique from the left that it's pro-assimilationist or whatever. I thought it was a brilliant movie. But Pattinson is far and away my favorite actor right now.

When theaters are a thing again, I think every movie should start with that scene from Outbreak where the guy coughs in the movie theater and you follow the ebola droplets to everyone's nostrils.

It'll help people remember to wear their masks.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

they might premiere this one on Europe before it opens to other markets. They are worried about the spoiler factor.
