I wouldn't say Interstellar was universally loved by audiences. Its reception was more or less mixed when it first came out from what I can remember. But it was validated over time. Maybe the same will happen here.

Seems like this is a movie that's more focused on spectacle than being a film that tries to be "meaningful", which I'm honestly fine with.

yeah seems like it has a ridiculous plot but strong spectacle. it reminds me of Aquaman which mean i'll probably like it.

At least this RT score revelation bring back some BoT moment since the movie world dead in march

It certainly wasn't mixed.

Interstellar 2.0, here we go. I still remember the meltdowns that this movie generated on this forum.

I definitely remember a fair bit of disappointment when it opened. That may have been because expectations were that it was a Second Coming, but my whole point is that it has been much better received in recent years than when it first released.

I didn't watch Tenet yet, but I already know it's the best movie of the year, I'm not even Nolan fan, but that's just how awful this year is.

Just a complete fucking disaster

seems like the people who got disappointed were hoping for 10/10 and 9/10 type reviews but instead got a bunch of 7/10s and 8/10s

IGN's review

Quote

Tenet is not Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece, but it is another thrilling entry into his canon. In a world where blockbuster cinema is dominated by franchises and sequels, it serves as an accomplished demonstration of the pleasures of unconnected and non-serialised original storytelling. But while it does tread new ground, Tenet is the ‘safest’ film from Christopher Nolan in some years. Following two recent ambitious movies from the filmmaker, Tenet feels a little conservative, as if Nolan’s style is a franchise rather than a framework. Despite this, it remains more interesting than most other tentpole movies and acts as a beacon for the director’s strengths

I remember a wild ride when Fury started with around 30% on RT and ended up with around 80%. People freak out too early, if anyone actually cares about RT.

WB checks arrived lol

jokes aside, it may not be his strongest movie, but damn enjoyable. And that is everything I was hoping for, let him focus on smaller, passion projects later in his career.

Maybe a case of the loud minority rushing to post their stuff first. Silent majority a little slower to post.

Probably, it happens from time to time.

Nolan did say Aquaman was Tenet’s biggest influence.

Reviewers don't give a shit if cinemas survive.

Streaming works just as well for them.

I am not sure that is true.

 

Not just because many are cinemas/festival geeks and fans but for their jobs as well, movie reviewer is more prestigious than tv reviewers, theatrical tend to have more festival/premiere/event fun to attend and not that there was not a debate about how irrelevant they became for theatricals they certainly were for a certain type of movies, but that irrelevance for something success or failure seem to be even more extreme on streaming....

 

Why take 5 minutes to read a review instead instead of just watching the first 5 minutes of your already paid for content you can watch right there and now instead.

Yep, the first rotten review makes Tenet starts at 67%. Anyhow now at 87% with top critics 83%.
