Finally got around to watching this. One word: PHENOMENAL.

Yup, it's a great film. I've seen it twice now, and everything was without a doubt clearer on the second viewing.

Can't wait for Manta to reveal the art! Hopefully some alternative cool art, I've seen those 3 posters in Ads everywhere xD

I'm "glad" to read native speakers have their problems with understanding the audio in the film, too. When I go to the movies, I always choose to see the film in OV (original version), not dubbed. Usually I don't have a problem understanding what's said, especially with a high quality cinema sound system (at home, where I just got my TV with built-in speakers, I prefer subtitles). So when I went to see "Tenet" in the OV yesterday, it was a rather unpleasant experience. Not only was the sound incredibly loud as many have stated, but the tendency to have the actors talk under masks and with food in their mouth (seriously, what the hell were you thinking, Michael Caine / Christopher Nolan?) or just murmur extra quietly against hammering background music made it really hard to follow. And that was in a cinema with a rather discrete setup - makes me wonder how much worse/louder it must sound in the biggest cinema hall with the best sound system in that theater or even an IMAX cinema!
I will go see it again, but dubbed the next time. Because even though I didn't fully understand it both in terms of story as well as regarding the dialogue, I found "Tenet" intriguing enough to give it another chance. Wouldn't be the first Nolan film that pays fully off (for me) only on second watch.

I never had a problem with Nolan films until Dunkirk and it too was way WAY too loud. I‘m thinking I’ll give it a go in IMAX, because It’s normally not as loud as Dolby Cinema (ATMOS)

I saw Tenet in IMAX and it was the same for me as Dunkirk, music too loud and it is difficult to hear what people are saying. Bad audio mix but easier to understand second time round

Have you seen Dunkirk on Blu Ray/4k (preferably in 5.1)? I’m curious if the audio is better. That said, if the sounds is bad in IMAX, gonna be a tough call. I love the seating in AMC’s Dolby cinema theaters, but even Faux IMAX gets a slightly bigger image. In my case, they’re both laser projectors, so blacks should be the same.

No I haven't seen it on 4K or heard it through a 5.1, most of my movies are either watched on my pc via headset or streamed through my network with plex. Dont have a fancy sound system though haha
I cant help much as im not a resident of the US (guessing thats where you live?), we dont have AMC cinemas here its either Odeon, Showcase or Vue

Seen many reviews also bring up the audio issue

Spoiler: if you've seen the trailers then it shouldn't matter

harder to hear whats being said during the scenes where characters are breathing through masks and talking

Its a hard movie to follow, so watching it for the first time and trying to understand/grasp what is going on and also not being able to hear clearly what people are saying is where the issue is. It was much more enjoyable second time round

yeah US. I hope it's not as bad as dunkirk. I literally covered my ears for parts of that movie. I'm considering bringing ported earplugs to the theater (which kills surround) just in case.

Those look incredible! Double lenti would be my pick. The OC extras are very cool, would be nice if manta would do something like that for once.

 

[vexred]

@goufcustom great concepts. I think the full slip is my favourite.

 

[GeoRattray]

I bet you'll never got something like this on the cover

 

[CollectorEmtee]

@goufcustom I love all of them! Nice that you have included the soundtrack too. You and me both are waiting for a physical release of that right?
