Tenet 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

A sci-fi masterpiece from Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy).

With the fate of the entire world hanging in the balance, everything is up to a lone hero (John David Washington). Time – and the very nature of world balance – is up in the air. Fighting against time's ever-ticking clock, the hero of the story must find a way to somehow prevent WWIII (and the end of civilization as we know it). Can the world be saved – and could Neil (Robert Pattinson) be the missing puzzle piece to salvation?

Written and directed by legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan (Inception, Interstellar), Tenet is an action-packed epic of gigantic proportions. Featuring an unforgettable score composed by the great Ludwig Goransson (The Mandalorian, Black Panther) and with lush IMAX cinematography by Hoyte Van Hoytema (Dunkirk, Interstellar), Tenet surpasses all expectations – to become one of the best films of 2020. Don't miss it.

Time is but a journey.
