First trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdOM0x0XDMo

Deals with time travel or time warping of some kind.

Washington looks great.
Surprised how few lines & little screentime Pattinson was given in the trailer, you would think WB would want to promote him more for The Batman.

After having watched Tenet twice, I couldn’t help thinking about Shin...
They seem to have something in common.
Neil reminded me of Kaworu somehow.

I merged your topic with this one, since I thought it to be a suitable action.

On-topic, I don't think Tenet will have much in common with Shin besides from some very small, likely unintended stuff. Even though Neil and Kaworu are similar as mysterious pretty boys who die due to their friend's actions, that's a very small similarity and one probably shared with dozens of artworks. (And that's before we mention how in NTE, Shinji's and Kaworu's relationship is even less ideal than the unattainable, but still real in canon, relationship they had in NGE.)

That’s alright. Just a random thought. I might have to watch it again. Haha

It was fine. Action scenes were alright. Do feel despite this being Nolan's script he's the wrong filmmaker for this kind've time gimmick. The backwards time elements never worked for me because Nolan shot them so traditionally. Maybe a filmmaker more willing to be playful could've done something with the action scenes. Also too cold for my tastes. ALSO really tired of movies hiring American or British actors to play Russian villains and they just adopt cartoonish accents.

Definitely the least Nolan film.

But that musical score is an all-timer!
