Christopher Nolan's time inverting spy film that follows a protagonist fighting for the survival of the entire world.

I didn't know Nolan films received screener though. My impression was that Nolan is 'above' screeners because he is not going to give a damn if his movie gets early negatiive feedback, and also because he is so secretive to prevent plot leaks.
Having said that, the review seems legit from certain description .. or it could be a some druggie typing that while high on weed.
That’s what I was thinking since he’s so secretive.
It could be one of the two haha. I don’t know about the "brainy" part this person mentioned considering what we have seen. I do believe that it may be one of his longest though.

Yea, I find it shocking that a non-superhero movie, involving so few A-list hollywood actors can hit a budget of 200M USD. A lot of the budget must have been dedicated to filming the sheer length of the movie at so many countries.
Also, I wouldn't describe Nolan film as brainy. It's more like it's so dense and it's easy to lose the plot at times (Interstellar for me).
Look at his other reviews, clearly meant to be a joke

Yes. Assuming it’s only 200M USD because it could be more.
Based on the information we have and we have seen, it would be hard for me to believe that Tenet isn’t that complex (that’s what I think the “review” meant by “not as brainy as his other works”). We’ll see though.

Yea I was initially expecting a highly non-linear telling of the story because well, it's Nolan. But on second thought, stories like Memento work with non-linear and complex arrangement of chronology because there are so few characters involved with a very simple bare story. For a action heavy film like Tenet, that may not work as well.
I am expecting a plot complexity between his Batman films and Inception. i.e As many twists and turns as in his Batman trilogy, but not as many 'confusing' sci-fi concepts as in Inception.

Awesome!
Also, despite the re-title of the book, its release date is still July 17th.
Perhaps that's a hint that the film might still have its original date, too?
If there is a possibility of UK cinemas re-opening in the beginning of July, keeping Tenet as the first blockbuster people go see after months of nothing, will guarantee at least a decent BO run for the film.
