The Opera Opening
Christoper Nolan has many , many gift , one of which is open scenes , for which he has a selection of fantastic and interesting one , from the banking concern armed robbery to the dreaming heist to this tight - paced action mechanism scene .
The scene is trippy in its confusion . We are thrown into this military action , not quite sure what is go on , who wants what , and what the goal is . It then gets made even trippier when the friend ’s living gets keep open from a mysterious man who reverse a bullet train , the first look at inversion in the film .

Meeting With Laura
Played byHarry Potteralumni Clémence Poésey , Laura is the scientist whom the champion seeks out who lets him and the consultation in on the concept of inversion and the reversal of entropy .
The scene is simple from a structure point of view and is just two character in a elbow room spill ; however , it is the contents of this conversation that makes it trippy . As Laura enjoin , " do n’t seek to understand it , finger it . " The hypothesis is hard to follow , and there is a lot to take in from this scene .
Final Conversation Between The Protagonist, Neil, & Ives
Just before the final episode of events involving the Protagonist ’s assassination of Priya , fans get treated to the epical , natural action - pack climax to the film , which itself ends with a conversation .
This three - quality scene with the Protagonist , Neil , and James Ives has a mint in it .

Retrieving The Algorithm
go back to that whole part of the motion-picture show , Neil ’s dead body in the room alongside the algorithm got mentioned originally , and that entire scene is another , which is unbelievably trippy .
There is a yacht - shipment of tension in the vista with the persona pelt along against clock time in different direction in time , but containing that in one singular scene whenthe Protagonist and Ivesattempt to retrieve the algorithm is itself very trippy . There is a random dead person ( Neil ) who comes alive and contain a bullet train before running off inverted , and hooey does not go exactly to be after for anyone with the algorithm itself .
The Hallway Fight
For all thenarrative issues the film suffers from- for many citizenry - it is fill with exhilaration , and some incredible activeness - based scenes , with one of the very best being the hallway fight .
The scene is dim-witted in its trippiness ; it is the Protagonist fighting with a masked individual who is inverted . It is pretty exceptionally crafted , but watching the inversion of the obscure somebody , who turned out to be the booster from the futurity , was pretty mind - bend to watch .
The Inverted Plane Crash
Christopher Nolan induce his picture for the big blind , believe wholeheartedly in the value of seeing movies at the theatre . As such , he so often intertwines spectacle with his meticulous plot to craft arthouse - esque flicks creating innovative cinema .
WithTenet , Nolan wentall out in the spectacle section , literally crashing an plane . However , the forward version of these outcome is just spectacle for spectacle ’s saki . The inverse , though , is pretty trippy as if you observe the drome , people and aim are moving rearwards while the zep move forrad while going back in fourth dimension .
First Proper Look At & Explanation Of The Turnstile
There were many a theory go into the movie about it having two timeline and a pathway between the two connected to the red and blue lighting seen in much of the promotional material .
This was spot on as there was a threshold between the forward - moving timeline and that which is inverted , known as the turnstile . The first sentence we see this turnstile is when Sator capture the Protagonist and make him watch out an inverted Sator and Kat as he shoot her and demands the location of the algorithm piece . It is as overwhelming as well as tense and is a decisive moment in the motion picture .
The Inverse Car Chase
Speaking of inversion , it was the reference of much surmisal and then discombobulation , and looks like thepinnacle of Christopher Nolan ’s obsession with time .
The first proper look at the in full inverted earth comes decent after the full turnstile reveals as the Protagonist sets out to stop Sator retrieve the Protagonist . The picture is a lot to take in ; not only are there things moving backward , but there is a car explosion that leads to the Protagonist agony from hypothermia and somehow getting retrieved by Neil , very trippy .
The Climactic Temporal Pincer Movement
It has gotten advert a couple of fourth dimension , but the colossal climax of the moving-picture show , more of a chronological succession rather than an individual scene , is full of mad set pieces and action and is a terrific cinematic experience .
Between the two team involved in the pincer movement , Neil shift his direction , the race against prison term , the battle , building exploding coming back together and exploding again , and everything else going on , it is one of Nolan ’s trippiest pieces of prodigality .
