Rewatched «Tenet» for the first time since it came out. John David Washington is still a total non-entity, Branagh is still ham sliced thick and the sound mix is still laughably bad but the plot actually stands up better on repeat viewing than «Inception» (even if the action sequences don't) and Elizabeth Debicki is fantastic. I was surprised how much more I appreciated this second time around — so much so that «Interstellar» is back to the bottom of my Nolan ranking. Sorry, Murph.

@LN78 I could never get past how unintentionally laugh out loud funny the backwards fight scenes were for me. It was like something out of a comedy sketch show.
@JohnnyShoulder They are why I singled out the action sequences as not being particularly great — «Red Dwarf» did backwards fights better! I've really warmed up on the film overall, though — walking out of the cinema I thought it was a nonsensical disaster and it really isn't. The picture quality on the 4K blu-ray is absolutely splendid and I got it cheap, so that probably helped.

@LN78 Ah yes, Red Dwarf is what is I was thinking of!
Just one movie for me this weekend.
City Hunter: the Secret Service (Blu-Ray)
A City Hunter movie which sees Ryo hired to protect a secret service agent who herself is part of a detail protecting a visiting South American political candidate (she is secretly his daughter, and his political opponents are targeting her to get to him).
It's not as tightly paced as the shorter films (Bay City Wars, Million Dollar Conspiracy), but it's still a fun time if you're a fan of the series.
Fun Easter Egg: at one point late in the film, right before the big climax, a character opens a map which holds some «Star Trek: TNG» references.
