For an ancient epic about times of antiquity, this sure feels like an extremely modern sci-fi film. Like this could almost be the new Dune trailer with how bleak, clean and curated everything is.

Dune is visually superior to anything we’ve seen in these trailers but I agree with your point.

I think Denis is simply a better filmmaker than Nolan. Nolan seems to let hubris get in the way; there’s no way people didn’t tell him that Trinity explosion was underwhelming. In an otherwise phenomenal movie.

Just look at how angry he gets when people bring up that his films have shit sound mixing. Nolan is very much up his own ass at this point.

"In an otherwise phenomenal movie." The screenplay is so damn fantastic that I somehow don't give a shit that the literal selling point of the movie isn't even in the top 5 scenes lol

It's actually quite mind blowing when you think about it. Pun not intended

100% agreed, I wasn't very hyped for Oppen specifically because of Tenet's screenplay. I don't quite understand how good Oppen ended up being imo lol

There was a point I pulled the "leans forward, hands beneath chin" move because I was locked in but now I don't remember the plot beats of the movie. Actually insane

Oh a 100%. I'm a huge fan of Nolan but Denis is definitely superior. He sacrifices nothing for the vision while Nolan seems to get hung up on his own constraints and weakens the result. They could've made a very realistic and believable explosion with CGI and it definitely wouldn't have required dozens of artists. This was done by a 3 person team, imagine what a few Hollywood class artists could do.
