I liked it. I could hear what they were saying so I assume they re-mixed the voice track for at-home?
Yeah...I haven't watched it yet but does Nolan just blow away any dialogue with BOOOMS and music and whatnot? He has done this many times before, and sometimes it makes it suck to try and watch a movie.
This one has SO MANY booms, lol. I had to constantly man the volume button on the remote. Turning it up to hear the dialogue, and quickly back down when the room started to shake due to random BOOOOONG sounds. One second the characters are basically whispering, the next second there's a tanker ship coming through my living room wall.
Christopher Nolan still hasn't figured it out. Visibly exhausted from his hours-long binge, Christopher Nolan was reportedly still no closer to understanding the end of Tenet Tuesday after watching dozens of YouTube explainer videos. “Wait, so what the hell was that turnstile thingy?” said Nolan, pausing a 35-minute long video and rubbing his eyes as he compared the elaborate diagram on screen to the copy he had scrawled down on a napkin in front of him. “It’s like some kind of time machine? That lets the nameless man run backward? And Robert Pattinson is a little boy? Either I’m stupid, or this plot makes no sense. I’ve watched, like, nine videos on the temporal pincer alone, and I still can’t make heads or tails of it. Jesus Christ, this is so convoluted. It’s almost worse than Inception.” At press time, Nolan admitted that The Prestige was the last one of his movies that he had really understood.

That cold fire bit seemed like a cool (literally) concept that wasn't fully thought out or even a flimsy attempt to. I mean, anything living runs on chemical reactions like what fire does. Who knew running a car in reverse makes the engine colder...
I don't think it's overrated; in general I find that most people didn't like the movie. It's good, not great, and definitely one of the weaker Nolan movies. Reading the details after the fact and some of the additional theories is quite fascinating though.
Watching explainer videos LOL This has been me almost every night since finally seeing it this weekend (as my wife rolls her eyes). It's pretty fun thinking about it, but ultimately I think I've come to the conclusion that it's all nonsense.
Matrix is a great example of a movie that had the two levels. U could watch that not completely understanding what happened and walk away satisfied and happy. Which I think is most everyone. Then you watch again and it makes a lot more sense. Nolan's movie just missed the first phase completely, but to make it ever worse you couldn't just watch it a second time and start to put things together. You literally needed the internet too.
Just finished this. W. T. F. I mean really. That was pretty deep ish. I liked it. But still trying to figure this out.
