In Tenet, the Protagonist (Washington) "journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time. Not time travel. Inversion." (Photo: Warner Bros)

In Tenet, John David Washington, who garnered praise for his performance in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman, plays the Protagonist, who gets introduced to a concept called inversion, which reverses the entropy of an object or person. It is a fascinatingly new way to play with time. (Photo: Warner Bros)

Christopher Nolan has always preferred tangible sets and actually building contraptions to do complex effects. And so, when a scene in Tenet required him to blow up a Boeing 747 plane, he actually blew up a Boeing 747 plane. (Photo: Warner Bros)

Tenet was shot in Denmark, Estonia, India, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and United States. (Photo: Warner Bros)

Christopher Nolan has always been a proponent of the theatrical experience and prefers film cameras over digital. It was reported that this was the reason as to why he was not in favour of releasing the film digitally. (Photo: Warner Bros)

Tenet scored mostly positive reviews, earning 71 per cent at Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, "A visually dazzling puzzle for film lovers to unlock, Tenet serves up all the cerebral spectacle audiences expect from a Christopher Nolan production." (Photo: Warner Bros)
