In this more than difficult year of cinema, one blockbuster stood out in particular from the film landscape. While almost all of the biggest movie starts have been postponed, Christopher Nolan brought his new work Tenet to theaters this summer to get the industry going again with a much-anticipated title.
However, due to the corona pandemic, Tenet’s great success has not materialized. This was also due to the fact that cinema was still too unsafe for many in summer and the movie theaters were generally allowed to occupy far fewer seats. If you want to catch up on Nolan’s blockbusters, you now have the chance. Tenet is now on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K available.
In addition to Tenet newbies, the home theater release is also worthwhile for all those who have already seen the film. As an extra there is a great one Making-of, which illuminates the genesis of Nolan’s blockbuster from A to Z.
Tenet bonus material shows, among other things, the origin of the confusing action
If you get Tenet on Blu-ray or 4K, you get an additional disc in addition to the film itself. In addition to trailers, the big special for Nolan’s blockbuster was packed on this: a multi-part documentary with the title See the world in a new light: The making-of of Tenet.

The director emphasizes again and again that he wanted to avoid CGI and artificial effects for the film as much as possible. Almost everything that viewers see was actually filmed that way. A really exciting aspect of the Tenet extras is therefore the Creation of the confusing action.
Step by step, Nolan, his team, and actors like John David Washington and Robert Pattinson show how that spectacular fights and car chases of the film. While it is explained that the Freeport fight had to be filmed in four different versions, the exact movement sequences from which the ingenious sequence emerged at the end can also be seen.
