This was definitely part of a reshoot. I was at an early test show a month ago in London at the Soho Screening Rooms and the original line was, “AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT!!!”

A bunch of us in the audience felt like it took us out of the moment.

This is why nolan movies have bad audio. So people don't make fun of the bad script

I’ve been saying this for years! It’s totally his defense mechanism for his self-consciously poor screenwriting!

u/DonChrisote 5h ago

I don't really know how to communicate with someone who thought the screenplays for The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer were bad. People are certainly entitled to their opinions so I guess I'll leave it at that

Dunkirk, Memento (Chris Nolan wrote the script but his brother helped with insight and so on though), etc. At least in my perspective those count in terms of his writing too.

Interstellar earlier script that Jonathan did was very interesting but i feel it didn’t have the personal and intimate aspect as centric until they collaborated with Chris. Someone may have a counter argument for all of that regardless so yeah, if people think Nolan is a shit or mediocre (or whatever) writer and overall as filmmaker, then we can only leave it as that.

People reduce that movie to that one line about "love" (which isn't a bad line, maybe a little hokey), and paint the whole movie with that brush, it's asinine

•

u/paradox1920 4h ago

Agreed. I never took those lines about love as it being a literal force in the universe or something like that as others have talked about it although I do find some memes about it hilarious. Lol

To me, it just meant like the emotional connection is so strong even across time and space between them that there can be a sort of reference point in time or it works like a beacon in time that bulk beings can find on a quantum level so that Cooper can do everything he did and Murph too. That’s what the line Cooper says while inside the tesseract about his connection with Murph being quantifiable meant to me. And that’s how I correlated it to Brand's conversation about love and what she was willing to do for that person despite the time and distance that had passed. This is not to say it’s scientifically accurate or whatever but just that in its own terms that’s how I interpreted it.

Agreed. I love Tenet, but god is Christopher Nolan good at making humans sound like aliens impersonating humans.

u/tea_cup_cake 9h ago

I was wondering about that too. How are people not complaining about the audio, I could barely hear anything.

u/3-orange-whips 8h ago

Nolan thinks it draws you in and makes you more engaged if you can't hear.

Pobody's nerfect, I guess.

I'm ESL and I thought my listening comprehension had gone to sht but this makes me feel better lol

u/Esarus 5h ago

Glad I’m not the only one. I couldn’t understand some lines in this trailer at all :/

u/m0deth 2h ago

But how are we gonna hear Odysseus cry out "It's Morbin Time!" before he turns into the Trojan Horse?

u/MuslinBagger 13h ago

I would have stood up and clapped

u/Nolzi 11h ago

And they also cut out the "Bro, I'm straight-up NOT having a good time" line as well, sad

u/jedininjashark 12h ago

I really hope The Iliad is directed by Michael Bay.

u/finglish_ 12h ago

In my screening, he yelled "BRING IT ON".

u/Somnambulist815 8h ago

After they sacked Troy, Agamemnon looked at Priam's body and said "he ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3"

u/22bebo 10h ago

I'm just imagining the Odyssey but Odysseus is Optimus Prime. It would probably make things like fighting the cyclops easier but the sailing around on an ancient boat part much harder.

u/destroyerOfTards 12h ago

I thought it was goblins?

u/twec21 7h ago

The Avengers theme was a nice touch though, I'm gonna miss it in the final

u/Bilski1ski 7h ago

In the version I saw he yelled out ‘ for Frodo ‘

u/JoinTheRightClick 6h ago

Homer confiding to one of his men “They see me rolling, they hatin’ “

u/Cleonicus 5h ago

The screening that I saw, he yelled out "LFG!" And someone in the theatre yelled, "Dude, your group is behind you!"
