‎The Protagonist: There’s a cold war.
‎Neil: Nuclear?
‎The Protagonist: Temporal.
‎Neil: Time travel?
‎The Protagonist: No. Technology that can invert an object’s entropy.
‎Neil: You mean reverse chronology, like Feynman and Wheeler’s notion that a positron is an electron moving backwards in time.
‎The Protagonist: Sure, that’s exactly what I meant.
‎Neil: I have a master’s in physics.
‎The Protagonist: Well, try and keep up.

When I watch this film, it confuses me a little bit.

But when I feel it rather than just understand it, I guess that’s the whole point.

Christopher Nolan’s most complex film, and it’s not about time travel but Time Inversion, which means in physics, entropy in Reverse.

‎The movie’s idea comes from real physics. Entropy is time’s arrow — things go forward; eggs break but don’t un-break. Tenet asks: What if you could invert the entropy of an object or a person, so it moves backward through time?

The film focuses on the CIA agent (The Protagonist) who helps to prevent WWIII (World War 3) from happening.

Many people didn’t understand it, and maybe this film is a flop, but it makes more sense because it’s not an action film with many battles, but it has elements of science and technology that are useful and give it an advantage during hard times.

An ambitious sci-fi genre film that makes you think about physics, especially about how we see it through time.
