Tenet's Complicated Plot Easily Explained In New Honest Trailer Video
The Tenet Honest Trailer is here, and thankfully it’s a lot easier to understand the first time around than the actual film itself. Tenet has been one of the most significant blockbuster events of 2020, and not just because it’s one of the only blockbusters to get a theatrical release in 2020. Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending latest movie throws everything about the average spy thriller into question as The Protagonist (John David Washington) is thrown into a high-stakes world where everything he knows is backward. Literally.
Unsurprisingly, there’s plenty for the Screen Junkies team to tear their teeth into with Tenet. They poke fun at everything from Tenet’s infamously incomprehensible dialogue, to the overuse of the word “inverted,” to the fact that even most of the cast are still confused by the film’s dense and often convoluted plot. One highlight of the trailer is a remarkably insightful parallel, as the poignant final exchange between Neil and The Protagonist is compared to the equally mind-bending time travel movie Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. See their take on Tenet below:
The Honest Trailer crew are relatively accurate when they say Tenet “feels like a movie adaptation of a crossword puzzle,” and pretty much anyone can agree that the ambitious yet flawed film “may not be Nolan at his best but is definitely Nolan at his most.” Though it doesn’t hold back some pretty scathing criticisms of the movie, Nolan fans will still get a good laugh at the checklist of all the classic Christopher Nolan staples. Love, hate, or couldn’t hear Tenet; this Honest Trailer might tempt you to do another rewatch.
