Christopher Nolan<\/strong> recently doubled down on his comments that his upcoming summer blockbuster, Tenet<\/em><\/strong>, is “not a time travel film.” Fans of the director have been theorizing possible plot points ever since the title was revealed in mid-2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nolan told E<\/a><\/em>W<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This film is not a time travel film. It deals<\/em> with time and the different ways in which time can function. Not to get into a physics lesson, but inversion is this idea of material that has had its entropy inverted, so it’s running backwards through time, relative to us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nolan has been known for trying to create an experience that normal moviegoers aren’t usually prepared for. He is responsible for mind-bending films like Inception, Interstellar, Insomnia, Momento,<\/em> <\/strong>and The Prestige<\/em><\/strong>. Tenet<\/em> is no exception when it comes to its mysterious plot and 200+ million dollar scope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent trailer had lead actor John David Washington<\/strong> saying events in the film regard “reversing the flow of time.” Washington even goes as far as to say “it’s not time travel” in the full-length trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
