It might've been the cinema's set-up, but the score managed to be obnoxiously loud and impossible to follow at the same time. I'm sure there's plenty of cool palindromic stuff going on, but it doesn't come through in the movie at all.
Looking forward to seeing the film tomorrow! I’ve been enjoying the score on Spotify
Saw it, loved it, can’t wait to see it again! This was a movie made by an INTJ for INTJs, and that couldn’t make me happier!
The score was absolutely fantastic and set the mood perfectly, especially the opening and the final act. Highly recommended for Nolan fans. Everyone else... go see a Marvel movie or a Star War.
For a film with as complex a plot as Tenet, having so much unintelligible dialogue is unforgivable. I've read that the sound mix was Nolan's deliberate choice. The logic of that decision is baffling.
Apparently, everyone likes to shit on Nolan's films here. I'm not one of those people. That being said, if Nolan keeps up this shitty sound design, he'll lose me as a fan.
I was generally able to follow the movie, and thought that all the dialogue that needed to be heard was heard, and it I could figure out what was going on otherwise by the visuals on screen.
I played a score CD yesterday and noticed he was one of the featured guitar players on it. Can't remember, for the life of me, what it was!!! And it was only fr!ggin yesterday!!!
edit...it was Marley & Me by Theo Shapiro that he played guitar on.
So, the score WILL BE released on triple vinyl and double CD version by WaterTower.

Happy that Zimmer isn’t doing it, but Goransson really isn’t that great. He’s a lot of flash with completely overrated substance - the Jared Leto of film composers.
He won the Oscar and the Grammy last year for Black Panther, and he also won two additional Grammys last year for the song "This Is America." He's pretty big right now.
It’s a Hans Zimmer impersonation from the first note to the last. And yet, I thought it was also pretty fab. So there you go.
I feel pretty mixed about it, having finally watched the movie too. The whole Zimmer impersonation thing gets pretty glaring at times, whether it's 747 sounding like The Dark Knight getting brutally rammed into Inception, or the main theme sounding suspiciously similar to Zimmer's X-Men theme from last year.
It's fine for what it is, but what it is is pretty constrictive.
But no date was confirmed.
