Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is about a secret agent navigating a world where time can flow backward. The movie’s complexity lies in its depiction of “inverted” time, where people and objects move in reverse. Key sequences, like the final battle where two timelines unfold simultaneously, demand intense focus to understand who is moving forward and who is moving backward. The science behind the inversion challenges viewers to think about time and causality in unconventional ways.
