Chris Nolan’s Tenet was one of the most awaited and anticipated movies of the year 2020.
After it got delayed from it’s original Summer release due to the global situation, people all over the world are getting their options to watch it finally.

As with most other of Nolan’s works, Tenet is highly non linear and may require more than one watch to understand and appreciate fully.

I made some notes while watching it, which is how I understand the timeline of events in the movie and thought I would share it.
