One thing is for sure – Christopher Nolan knows how to open a movie.

Tenet is one of those films that was pushed back, and then pushed back again, and with all the hype along the way, there was a lot to live up to.

The early reviews were a mixed bag, and the movie officially hit South African cinemas a few months back.

Given the current pandemic and all, many were in no hurry to race back to an indoor venue, and that’s before you factor in the price of a ticket, a cooldrink, a box of popcorn, and a packet of Wine Gums these days.

If you still haven’t seen Tenet, Warner Bros. has now released the first six minutes on YouTube, so you can dip your toes in the water.

Relax, there are no spoilers.

More from The Verge:

The scene follows John David Washington’s Protagonist and a couple of other characters as they enter an auditorium to complete a mission. That’s really all you need to know. It’s a pretty fun, entirely Christopher Nolan segment that works on its own.

Fun times.

Alright, let’s see what all the fuss is about:

All action from the word go.

Thus far at the box office, the movie has taken in around $360 million internationally, on a budget estimated to be around $205 million.

I suppose that’s not terrible, all things considered.
