I finally saw Tenet and genuinely thought it was horrific

I have seen all of Christopher Nolan’s movies from the past 15 years or so. For the most part I’ve loved them. My expectations for Tenet were a bit tempered as I knew it wasn’t his most critically acclaimed release but I was still excited. Also, I’m not really a movie snob. I enjoy a huge variety of films and can appreciate most of them for what they are.

Which is why I was actually shocked at how much I disliked this movie. I tried SO hard to get into the story but I just couldn’t. I don’t consider myself one to struggle with comprehension in movies, but for 95% of the movie I was just trying to figure out what just happened and why, only to see it move on to another mind twisting sequence that I only half understood (at best).

The opening opera scene failed to capture any of my interest and I had no clue what was even happening. The whole story seemed extremely vague with little character development, making the entire film almost lifeless? It seemed like the entire plot line was built around finding reasons to film a “cool” scenes (which I really didn’t enjoy or find dramatic).

In a nutshell, I have honestly never been so UNINTERESTED in a plot. For me, it’s very difficult to be interested in something if you don’t really know what’s going on. The movie seemed to jump from scene to scene in locations across the world, and yet none of it actually seemed important or interesting in any way.

If the actions scenes were good and captivating, I wouldn’t mind as much. However in my honest opinion, the action scenes were bad too. Again I thought there was absolutely no suspense and because the story was so hard for me to follow, I just couldn’t be interested in any of the mediocre combat/fight scenes.

I’m not an expert, but if I watched that movie and didn’t know who directed it, I would’ve never believed it was Nolan because it seemed so uncharacteristically different to his other movies. -Edit: I know his movies are known for being a bit over the top and hard to follow, but this was far beyond anything I have ever seen.

Oh and the sound mixing/design was the worst I have ever seen in a blockbuster movie. I initially thought there might have been something wrong with my equipment.

I’m surprised it got as “good” of reviews as it did. I know it’s subjective and maybe I’m not getting something, but I did not enjoy this movie whatsoever.

AITAH for wanting an abortion, even though I am married with 3 children?

My husband (m33) and I (f25) have been married for five years and we have three children together. They are 4, 3, and 12 weeks.

Yesterday I found out I am pregnant again. It hurts my heart to admit that I wasn’t excited- I was upset and scared. I actually didn’t believe it for a while either, for the time it took for me to get dressed, get my kids dressed, get them in the car, out of the way car, through the store, and back home with another pregnancy test. It was positive again and I sobbed.

I don’t want another baby. I adore my children now but I am struggling so much. I was struggling before the newborn and she is such a fussy baby I hardly sleep. I forget to drink water. I would be a horrible mom to carry this baby for another 40 weeks. I wouldn’t even feel good about it, or excited, and I don’t see that changing.

I went to my husband and he was happy. He kissed me and told me that if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be, and that my feelings will pass soon. I told him they won’t- I’m scared to have four kids, I can barely handle three. He told me I was being too hard on myself.

I told him I wanted to have an abortion. He acted like I just confessed to an affair. He lost his mind- yelling, cussing, being so mean. I told him that we could talk more but I was going to call the clinic and make an appointment. He so kindly reminded me that if I am past 6 weeks (I don’t believe I am) then I can’t have one. I replied by saying all the more reason to call asap.

He is just so fucking mad at me. Am I so wrong for wanting this? I already feel horrible, so just tell me if this is a horrible thing to do to him. I think his whole reasoning is because he wants a boy- we have three girls. But I would be willing to try again for a boy but in a year or two, not now. Is that so wrong of me?
