Tenet. Just watched it last night and found it to be absolutely incredibly well done. Dialogue audio was weirdly quiet, but that was solved by cranking the center channel up relative to other channels.

+1. However, the experience of watching in theatre was a bit painful because of the background music. It could be because of that particular theatre but man, if there was no subtitle there's no way in hell I could've followed the movie. I've pre-ordered it on Apple TV to understand all the layers.

  Same here, the audio in IMAX is not good.

> Dialogue audio was weirdly quiet That's Nolan for you. His sound quality (there is probably a more precise word for this) is appalling. A lot of the music in Interstellar is too loud while the dialogue is hard to make out. Same with Dunkirk - the gunfire in the opening had me cover my ears in the cinema to protect my hearing and throughout the rest of film I was wishing there were subtitles.

  The cinema I was in was literally vibrating all over the place due to the loud music, it was very distracting.

Nah. I watched this a few nights ago, and was largely confused. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t anywhere close to “great”. Most people won’t like it because it gets more and more confusing, and at some point you’re like okay whatever and give up trying to understand. That’s the way it was for me. They were trying to shove too many complex ideas into too short of a timeframe and it didn’t work. It felt very self- indulgent to me.

  That's part of the beauty of it. She tells him right at the beginning not to try and understand; just intuit. I didn't give up, frustrated, until almost the end of the movie. Loved my second viewing, and would watch again. And I almost never rewatch anything.

    2nd and third viewings for me really sold the plot. This is a great movie IMHO.

    That was my favorite part of Looper: when asking how time travel works, Willis says something like, “we could sit around all morning drawing boxes and arrows on the backs of napkins and all it would do is give you a splitting headache – time travel just works, ok?” Just totally dismisses it, haha.

> absolutely incredibly well done I completely disagree. The worst part wasn't the unenjoyably convoluted plot, it was the director who insisted the dialog be spoken like a grade 5 play: utterly unnatural. Every spoken sentence ends with a unnatural pause before the response, like a grade 5 play. I could only force myself to get through half the movie before I had to turn it off.

Two more for you: predestination and primer. Predestination is a trip and primer folds in on itself in ways you won’t uncover until after multiple viewings (and even then, you may still be missing things!).
