Fayze well I know THAT lol, I just didn’t know it had different release dates... what I truly was thinking was that it is somehow available online or for DL on like the Pirate Bay or something like that, and I could get in on that action... OR, just VOD and I could pay for it and watch it in the comfort of my living room. But again, the promos I saw said ONLY IN THEATERS, so I wasn’t sure if something changed. I’m sure this film is one you appreciate WAY more by experiencing it in the theater but since I’m just busting to see it, I would watch it on my tv if I could do so right now

Thing about that is, they were able to pick up the objects inverted as if the inverted version of themselves dropped them. If they dropped them, they ould bounce around and land on there side. Not nice and neatly aligned standing up. Scientist also mentioned "you'd have to have dropped it in the future" before the protagonist is able to pick it up. That indicates that your past self can influence your future self with intention. Meaning intention can change the course of events and break the loop.

"Michael Caine's character, who is also called Michael..." That wasn't a coincidence. His character had the same name solely so that after his meeting, the Protagonist can say to him: "Good-bye, Sir Michael." I believe that line is intended as Christopher Nolan's farewell to his longtime collaborator (eight films since and including "Batman Begins") Sir Michael Caine, and this will be his final film.

Question: If you can’t change the past, why not let the red team see the blue team. I know they don’t so they don’t see what happens to them and thus attempt to change their fate. But if you can’t change the past, doesn’t that mean you can’t change the future? Which means why even worry about something that can’t happen? Or can you not change the past BUT you can change the future? I dunno, I’m confused about what I’m even trying to ask. 10/10 movie tho, or 01/01?

If I get your question right, the answer should be : Neil explained it towards the end of the movie. He said “what’s happened, happened.... That’s doesn’t give you an excuse to do nothing. “ so he meant even if nothing can be changed, you can’t just do nothing. They need to do whatever is needed in order to make the events happen.

I actually had troubles understanding a completely different part of the movie: the intro. The protagonist and some other Americans helped the Ukraine task force fight terrorists in the opera house. The Ukraines woke them up for this. Why? Then, the protagonist apparently has his own secret mission with the twilight code if I remember correctly. What is this mission? And how does the Russian villain know and say the code later in the movie? And then it just skips to the protagonist being interrogated on the railroads. And he seems to be in some kind of coma? I first thought that the whole opera scene was just some kind of imaginary mind test, but then why would Neal appear and help him out? I'm soo confused haha

My understanding was the Americans were a CIA hit team sent in to get their man whose cover was blown and to recover the package, which would later turn out to be part of the algorithm. The Russians must've been local contacts that intelligence agencies hire (which I gather not from intelligence experience but other movies about spies) who then betray them because they're working for Sator and want the piece of the algorithm, which then ends up in the hands of Ukrainian security forces. That leads to the highway heist scene. That was my take after the second viewing.

​@@ichputzhiernur6851 The whole intro was essentially a test to see if the protagonist was fit for a role in Tenet. He passed this test because he took the pill: as standard protocol in the CIA instead of enduring torture in attempt to expose information, if there's an option to just poison yourself to die quicker, take it-- and that's what he did, but it turns out that it wasn't actually lethal as it was all just to test his abilities and the extents he would go for the mission. Hope that helps a bit too! I guess Neil showed up to help the protagonist knowing that he would eventually recruit Neil? Haven't thought about it that much yet.

I think I need to watch it a second time because I went out the theater too confused like 99% of people lol More seriously the pratictal effects were out of this world (the whole him against him fight scene was epic and so strange at the same time, the crash plane just wow) But I do think the movie was too complicated and going very fast on important parts. The scene in the cage at the end when the russian guy is about to destroy the plutonium was going so fast you couldn't understand who was who, at the same time you had to digest the girl going back in time to kill her husband and the war with the two teams going on Same with the car pursuit and the moment Sato talks to the phone to the protagonist in the reverted room while taking his wife as a hostage IMO it was just too much and made the movie less enjoyable because I was stressed to miss something and at the same time trying to understand what was going on the scene before ! The score was also amazing

Something I don't understand: how come you can travel backwards while thinking, speaking or acting forward? Shouldn't you be backwards all the way? Can you fight someone who's going forward while you're going backwards and still be able to properly defend yourself? I didn't get that logic from the movie. It seems to me they cherry picked the effects of inverting entropy. At the explanation in 7:41,when Kat travels back a second time, shouldn't she get shot once again by her husband but this time in "forward motion"? Since her past self was shot by her husband with an inverted bullet before going back in time the first time around? This really is circular time travel. If it was actual inversion, there would be no duplicates from any characters.

Relativity. You *are* backwards all the way to the outside world but a new forward *all the way* to your self. Similar to how a car and its passengers are all in motion from a pedestrians perspective, but from the passengers perspective they feel relatively stationary sitting in the car while its the pedestrians who are whizzing by outside. The bullet, being inverted, did inverted damage to Kats body. She would have to be inverted as well in order to deinvert the damage and move in the direction of healing. Obviously this isn't actual realized technology so its useless trying to explain or understand where to draw the line at what -- like why does the damage to her body despite being caused by an inverted bullet, not travel in the same temporal direction as the rest of her body seeing as how the sequence of events was objective from her position. There is a significant amount that can be analyzed and understood and there really is a cohesive logic to it but we also have to remember that its a movie and there are limits (unless we want a 10 hour movie) to what can be explained. We just have to accept at some points that in the universe of this movie, this is just how the tech works.

You still think, speak and act forward while traveling backwards because it is an inversion of YOUR perspective. It is like looking in a mirror and not realizing which side you are on. There are duplicates because both versions of yourself have to enter the turnstile simultaneously. You [while forward] enter the turnstile and then pop back out the other side, now inverted, to experience time going backwards [or being rewinded] in an instant. Well what happened the moment after [which is now before] you entered the turnstile when you were forward? You were in the process of entering the turnstile. That's why there are "duplicates". You are doing precisely what every character in the film tells you not to do: "thinking in linear terms". These things have to happen simultaneously in order to occupy the same frames of time.

The reason he went with red and blue is very apt ! It represents entropy through the concept of heat , red represents hotter objects (that increases entropy) and blue for the colder object ( that does not increase entropy as much as the hot objects )! The constant switch from red to blue might indicate the flow of heat from the hotter to the colder object thereby increasing the entropy of the environment ! Vice versa for decrease of entropy in the environment ! I personally think there is another layer apart from reds and blues , it’s the superset of all objects or in thermodynamics terms : the entropy of the universe (which must always increases)! It’s kind of the reference . Nolan might’ve thrown in another colour code to foreshadow the superset layer ! The attempt is to gain knowledge from both perspectives which is trying to observe the same cause-effect from a higher dimension (looking down at events of red and blue ). The characters slowly fit together the jigsaw of the superset layer through the act of superposition (first dive through the red, keeping the actions at blue constant and then vice versa) ! Studying them one at a time to piece both perspectives together !

Singa Muzic The timer was counting down to the moment when the explosion occurred. The explosion was not supposed to destroy the algorithm but rather to seal the algorithm in the ground beneath the rubble left by the explosion. The algorithm was supposed to remain in the ground for many years until Sator’s contacts uncovered it and used it to end the world at the precise moment when Sator’s life ended. However, as the protagonist and Ives removed the algorithm prior to the explosion, Sator’s contacts from the future never got their hands on the algorithm and so were not able to end the world.

How did the algorithm work? When assembled it looked like a load of scrap metal parts cobbled together? Was there something inside these parts that had more instruction? Or was that assembled unit the actual 'algorithm' in some form? I just don't get that bit. Is it a puzzle like a cryptex (da Vinci code) kind of thing that would have revealed more information inside? I have only seen the film once, but my understanding was when the Russian's heart was to stop, it was going to set off the algorithm, as in the bomb that they had buried with it would detonate and the 'mega world inversion' was going to happen. Am I wrong about that as well? lol. I just can't quite get that bit, for the reasons mentioned. Like can that unit they had at the end just reverse the flow of time? Cause they were using turnstyles to access inversion not something like that. Can someone help me? And please, speak as you would to a small child...or a golden retriever. It's not brains that got me here I can assure you of that ;)

They contain formula to create tachyon particles, or maybe the particles itself, which can travel faster than light which breaks current laws of physics, if following e=mc2, energy or entropy transfers are equal, but if it doesnt follow, then it exceeds the speed of light creating backwards transfer of energy aka time inversion, example snooker balls transfer energy to others when hit then returned back to its original position... I dunno how to explain it better but u can check this out, they are kinda successful doing it theoretically but in actual if u dun have tachyon particles u can't do it, so that's why Stephen hawking doesn't believe in time travels bcos it can't happen in this physical world, time travel i believe can only happen in the metaphysical world aka VR hahaha mymodernmet.com/quantum-physics-time-reversal-study/

@@yushida7 Thank you for this, has helped slightly. However, my main issue is the assembled algorithm in its physical form as we were shown at the end. I just don't understand or it was not explained (or it was and I missed it) how this is deciphered into the technology that creates inversion. Is there something in each of the 9 compartments? Is it a key that makes an equation if you have the physical form and another document to decrypt it? or is it the actual inversion tech itself in this form? If not I don't see the purpose of blowing it up at the end unless to destroy it (which would be the opposite of Sator's plan) and if blowing it up meant it triggers it...surely this means it is the technology in this form as he wants to start the chain reaction of the world inversion. Does that make sense? I have asked this question on another forum and someone else said the following, with regards to the physical form of this so-called 'algorithm'... "My most logical explanation is that the future people have a certain technology but to create this bomb they needed this final piece in the puzzle (the algorithm) which they would subsequently dig up in the future. All that is known is that this algorithm had to be buried there without anybody knowing except Sator and the future people." This suggests that whatever it was, its possibly part of a bigger machine or process maybe? and Sator was burying it to be found and then used in the future. I'm just struggling with exactly what the 9 pieces are in this full form, and how the plan to bury it and detonate a bomb over it works in the plot to secure the 'mega world inversion' they talk about. It's not clear, so the stakes were lowered for me in the final act as I do not know what they are trying to do. DAMN YOU NOLAN! DAMN YOU TO HELL AND BACK AGAIN!!!!!

questions: so if you go back in time, u will get inverted but you have the option to enter the turnstile again to go back to normal right? why not do it right away? since inverted mode you cant actually do anything to change the outcome, quote "whatever has happen has to happen", then wouldn't it be better to un-invert yourself immediately to at least do whatever you need to do normally? like when Kat went back to the past at the boat in vietnam, i suppose she went back to the past and un-inverted since the whole thing was playing non reverse and she wasnt wearing any breathing equipment? and how was mahir who is suppose to be in the past in vietnam, able to radio and communicate with the present attack at russia?

Also in order to "go back in time" , the person has to spend the days in inverted mode until he/she reach the exact date in the past (which mean they have to wear oxygen mask or stay in isolation room sealed with oxygen during those time ) ,then upon back to desired date in the past , then only they can through turnstile to un-invert so they can move forward in time & no longer needed the oxygen. This method of "time travelling" within the Tenet universe is quite inconvenient as you still have spend the days (eg. spend 14 days in invert mode in order to go back to the past, then another 14 days after un-invert in order to back to current time)

I'll try to explain the best way possible. In the event of the movies, everything is pre destined and will happen exactly the way it does. So in kats case, she goes back when shot, gets on the boat and then shoots the husband. When she jumps of the boat, we can see her past self (who has not been shot as of yet) ( later the past self tells the protagonist that she saw a woman jumping off at the restraunt). So there are two kats at that time. The future kat then waits till the past kat is shot after the car chase and is inverted and is sent back. Now there is only one kat. So she replaces her former self.

Because every version of you will have to follow the same set of events that happens to one i.e. if you travel back one day, there will be a version of you 'yesterday' that will go through the day and then travel back one day just like you did, putting them one day behind you. Essentially there will eventually only be one version of you in the future as you cannot jump forward in time, meaning you will never encounter past versions of yourself if you do not invert. My best understanding is that since you are only conscious of yourself and not other versions of you (unless you come into contact with them), you will always be, from your perspective, the most current version of yourself, even if you aren't.

Whatever Nolan believes he achieves with time "inversion", this comes down to traveling back in time and changing the past! With it come the usual problems: Either you must give up causality or you must work with a universe that allows infinite variations of itself. Both possibilities are not very attractive to most theoretical physicists.

@@modernmaster55 even that makes no sense, just do a mind game. Try to "throw" an inversed object. Due to it being inversed it should already be on the ground from your perspective where you would have thrown it, and then go back into your hand. Due to the fate of the object: You could only have "thrown" it when you can see it laying on the ground. But when an object is on the ground, you aren't able to throw it because the object is not in your hand. This is basically the same as the grandfather paradox. @Ralf is right, the usual problems with time travel can never make sense. Nolan did a great job by displaying it making as much sense as possible, where everything is basically bound to happen even if characters try to avoid it and then causing the event they tried to avoid.

That's why these films set up some rules like "What if it was possible that you could reverse someones entropy (with no other consequences to the thing experiencing this inversion)" or other films that then ask other questions like "what if you could become invisible but still were able to see yourself" "what if superheroes existed that could do this and that". It only becomes an issue when films set up rules for themselves and then break these rules, which makes the whole universe, that was built on the premise that things worked in a certain way, unbelievable
