“Try and keep up” tweeted Warner Bros as Tenet played in pandemic-emptied cinemas. It was a line plucked from the screenplay but also a canny piece of marketing judo, using an opponent’s own energy against them. Supposedly the miracle tentpole that would save the moviegoing experience, the film found itself criticised for a brain-ache of a plot and a wilfully obscure sound mix. The tweet flipped that carping into a challenge: are you smart enough for Christopher Nolan’s knottiest blockbuster yet?
Now Tenet arrives in the home, its IMAX-scale ambitions diminished but finally freed from the saviour narrative that clung to its theatrical release. Here, then, is a chance to reassess what may be Nolan’s most divisive film through the healing power of subtitles and the rewind button.
In many ways it’s a deceptively straightforward experience. Nolan’s always acknowledged his debt to the Bond movies – the alpine skirmish in Inception paid clear tribute to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – and it’s easy to read Tenet as a proof of concept for him inheriting the 007 franchise. We’re in the realm of upscale international intrigue, where sharply tailored heroes have a licence to quip and kill.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
