Christopher Nolan didn t want my first viewing experience of
Tenet to be from the comfort and safety of my home. He wanted me to see it on a big screen, where all his big time-inverted action set pieces could be seen in all their bigness. And, to an extent, I understand. He put a lot of work into making a big movie and wants me to see it very big. But, because of the state of our world, I waited to watch it when it arrived on streaming services in December. I watched it on a 45-inch TCL TV with a Sonos sound bar at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday. I had to take a break to go to a meeting. The sun put a glare on the screen. Aside from watching on my laptop or phone, this is probably the last viewing experience Nolan wanted. And, honestly, I had a great time.
But, despite his insistence that his big movie be seen on a big screen, Nolan s
Tenet is finally getting a home video release for the many people who didn t want to take the risk to see it in theaters.
On Dec. 15,
Tenet will be available to stream on PVoD (premium video on demand) services, meaning you can purchase the film to stream for $19.99 on Amazon, Google Play, Apple TV, Fandango Now and Vudu.
However, for anyone hoping that
Tenet, a Warner Bros. film, would be available on HBO Max, where all their future movies will get a same-day release we have some bad news. Tenet will not be available on HBO Max, and Nolan himself is happy about that.
