I really liked the original script as well; it was a totally different beast but great on its own terms.

Man, I remember watching Interstellar on the best screen here in town, it was crazy. That scene when it shows Jupiter and the little space ship just flies by the bottom part of it and reflects a little sunlight. And the whole "no time for caution" scene. Just truly amazing.

Just to be clear, when people talk about Jonathan Nolan's script for Interstellar and what was made into the movie for Interstellar, those are two entirely different things. Jonathan wrote the script for Steven Spielberg but it was an almost entirely different plot, with many completely different characters but a lot of similar themes. Here is an article that details the differences:
Interstellar: 15 Huge Differences From the Steven Spielberg-Developed Script to Christopher Nolan’s Movie
here is a link to the original script:
Jonathan Nolan's Original Script for Interstellar
Christopher, when he decided to make Interstellar as one of his projects, worked together with his brother and they reworked that original script into the version you see in the movie. Christopher didn't deviate from the script; they rewrote it into what you see on the screen, which to my mind is a superior movie to one about Chinese robots and multiple blackholes and fractal lifeforms.
When I watched the movie at first, I was expecting to see a version of Jonathan's script; I think Christopher's is actually a far more powerful and subtle statement about the human condition. Jonathan's could be molded in a SCI-FI EPIC but since this is only ever going to be a one-shot, I think Christopher Nolan's is much better cinegraphically and Jonathan's works really well (could only work in its current form?) on the page, and would make a great novel.
Sorry for the derail, back to the Tenet (the same forward and backward, amirite?) show.

I love when trailers just give you the premise of the movie without giving away everything.
Might have to mask up and see this one.

My 1st thought was the butterfly effect. It will be within their vision or "sphere of influence"?

Yeah, I'm sure there will definitely be some facepalm dumb shit when it comes to that. But the movie will look amazing and likely be very engaging so will for sure be worth a watch.

My only problem with Interstellar was Anne Hathaway's delivery and the timing of the love vomit dialog. Very over acted but sloppy at the same time, not sure why that was the take they ended up using. Same with alright, alright, alright's pronunciation of "luuuve". Those lines just weren't worded properly, either. Whoever said it previously in this thread got it just about right. To the effect of "love is the driving force that entangles us, past, present, and future" - instead they went with "transcends time" when they had used "tiiiime" enough already. I also, probably, would have accepted it more if the black dude delivered it. Then again, it might have broken his character's credibility even if he was the most scientifically accurate/real of the bunch.
I had no issue with Mann, though his violence was a bit on the edge. Him spending no time with his daughter at the end was fine for me, too. Movie was long enough already. He was a "great grandfather" at that point and all but forgotten by what other family he'd left behind. The old woman wasn't his daughter to me. That was the sacrifice he made to save the fuckin world.
Seeing it before and after having a daughter is two completely different experiences. The Muuuurph scene the first time is just kinda, "Eh." After my kid was born though, it really fucked me up in a way I wasn't at all expecting.
That said, this movie looks cool, but the concept is probably going to boil down to something pretty simple like all of his movies. He goes forward in time until points that need to be reversed in order to fix or prevent whatever. And I bet somewhere along the lines the entanglement starts with him being dead more than once. What they do with it and where they go probably won't even be the point, more the visuals, audio, and conceptual. Make the hamster in your brain run on the wheel for a bit while your senses are overwhelmed.

For sure. I wonder if there are those of us who get the “love” part who have children and those who don’t? No disrespect to any group watching the movie. I love my daughter more than anything I could ever have believed and any movie with a daddy/daughter issue gets me, but this movie destroyed me. The scene where she’s grown up and he sees her grown up the first tine broke me down, and when she asks if her dad left her there to die just destroyed me, knowing that any good father would literally blow up the planet to save their daughter.
On a side note, I hear about fathers who are their kids like once every two weeks, or like once a month. Blows my mind. Fucking pricks.

Watch The Rover. It will help you take him a little more seriously. It did for me.
Also, it is a great movie to watch, regardless.
