It was supposed to be one of the biggest film releases of 2020 and while Christopher Nolan‘s Tenet did manage to make it into theaters this year, it didn’t exactly go the way anyone expected thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, though, the film has been released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD and a much wider audiences is finally getting to see the film — and they’ve got plenty to say about it online.

Can’t explain it
I saw Tenet! I kinda understood it, but I can’t explain it. I did not like 2h15 minutes but the final 15 are cool. John David Washington is so athletic and impressive. And let me be very clear, I LOVED everything regarding Robert Pattinson’s character. pic.twitter.com/YQNRTFXoWp

Can’t hear anything
Tenet is pretty cool if you like not being able to hear what people are saying for 150 minutes

I think it’s a film that will take some time for it to be appreciated in a way it deserves.
Show me another filmmaker making movies on that level. #InNolanWeTrust
I will never forgive COVID for not allowing me to see this in theaters. 💔 #TENET
Nolan would not be pleased
Christopher Nolan would hate the fact I had a more enjoyable time watching TENET on my couch at home than in a theater. pic.twitter.com/P7beZmlFfr

Something else
Tenet finally is available for home viewing now, and I’m so glad the majority can see it. It’s really something else.

Fantastic at home
Tenet was awesome! Nolan was right to want it theaters, but watching in my home theater was fantastic! pic.twitter.com/RIH08YAc39
