    Uh, first blush, that's a terrible trailer. Confusing and underwhelming at the same time, I'm not sure what to take from it at all. Discordant scenes mashed together.

    Why did that guy reverse the trailer? That's not how it was shown, as evidenced by other links to the original video on Twitter... I'm just not sure what the point of reversing it was.

    godamn i was getting excited by the backwards trailer

    He's wearing some sort of breathing apparatus in the final shot though, so probably not a robot/android.

    I'm gonna go with some sort of multiple-universe shenanigans. Equally, this could be Nolan's take on a Lion King remake.

    Tenet is a palindrome. He could also have called the film Navan.

    It's settled then

    The film will be about an Android-Robots transition to full humanity whilst enduring the trials and tribulations of daily life in Navan in order to traverse to an alternate Universe where Navan is _in fact_ called Tenet!

    Brilliant! *starts writing oscar nomination* :D

    Not a conventional spy movie perhaps, the same way Inception wasn't a convention heist movie, but I don't think anyone was expecting anything less from Nolan.

    It's worth noting also that there is a real person named George Tenet: the US Director of Central Intelligence from 1997-2004. From Wikipedia: "A 2005 Inspector General's report found that Tenet bears "ultimate responsibility" for the United States intelligence community's failure to develop a plan to control al Qaeda in the lead-up to 9/11."

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Hopefully this should be quality

    https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/tenet-explained-christopher-nolan-details-plot-release/

    Quality Director and Cinematography support - tick
    Quality Cast - tick
    Big Budget ($225 million) to shoot the lights out with 7 locations ranging from the UK to Italy to Estonia to Indai - tick
    Who doesn't love an auld thriller - tick

    With the copious amount of forgettable shyte cramming up the cinemas in the last 5 to 10 years, this is something to look forward to.

    Thought that Dunkirk was an excellent cinema experience and this is shaping up to be another one.

    edit - fixed link

    Maybe I didn't watch it properly, but isn't that the same as the original teaser trailer?

    Oh, I'd honestly thought it was officially out; oh wait, it was cinema only or something, right?

    Sources like this suggest we could see a trailer this Thursday, and possibly a prologue sequence to be screened before Star Wars on IMAX.

    WOW! There was a giant trailer for this before Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.
    It was like a whole scene followed by a trailer. That was mad.

    The film looks classic Nolan and that it'll have some element of science fiction involved.

    Did you see this in Cineworld Dublin's IMAX screen by any chance? I asked them yesterday on Twitter if they were showing the prologue ahead of Rise of Skywalker and they didn't confirm nor deny.

    Cineworld are sh!ts on social media. As they teased for Rise of Skywalker I asked them if they were setting up midnight screenings, since everywhere else was about to release tickets. They just said "you'll have to see". They released them the next day and it was hidden on the website initially, only obviously showing the Thursday day/evening screening times.

    Just answer the question and when and what time you're releasing tickets!

    I'm gutted to hear there was trailer/scene for this shown. Would have 100% thought the Light House would have had it.
