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.
