Ni hao, Li Huanying (2021)
I cried sooooo hard
Me at the beginning of the movie: laughing like a idiot
Me at the ending of the movie: crying my eyes out.
Me 3 hours after the movie: still sobbing in the shower
Tenet (2020)
Disappointing for a Nolan's movie
The movie is not that hard to understand, especially when you can literally guess the plot. Those plot twists (I suppose?) like the protagonist was fighting himself at the Freeport, the woman jumping off the boat was Kat herself, and it was the protagonist who recruited Neil... I sensed all that when those scene first happened, I watched the movie with my mom and she told me she saw them coming as well, too cliche!
And the physics part, inverted entropy, anti-matter, time travel, blah blah blah, it could be a very cool concept for a sci-fi movie but unfortunately remains a wasted potential. I have a BSc in physics and now a PhD student in nuclear engineering, I feel frustrated with how the movie dealt with those concept. Just imagine remove all that from the movie, simply be like, the villain has a weapon of mass destruction, both sides have time travel technology, how is this gonna be any different? Not much, right?
Tenet is a typical Hollywood solo-hero-save-the-world (and the girl) action movie with predictable ending which I didn't expect from Nolan. To be honest I would give it a 10/10 if the ending was the world actually ended with Andrei's death and we got to see a whole new world of inverted physics and time.
