TENET || Stalsk-12 Battle Sequence || 3D Breakdown

====== READ ME: ===========================
INFO on Blue NEIL_2 ======================

I sorta didn't focus on Neil_2 as I have already made a video about what's going on down in the tunnel and this one is more focused on the broad battle.
It's alittle dated as it was my first video and new details have since emerged, but it will still give you a better idea about where he came from.

(Spanish Subtitles)

First Half: RED forward time: follow the Red characters
Second Hald BLUE: Reverse time: follow the Blue Characters

Note about the Landscape layout:
I studied the battle scenes closely , trying to figure out the landscape.
In the briefing, Ives has a satellite map of Stalsk-12, and it shows that it is all in a strait line, left to right.

But in the battle scenes, the way it is filmed, we clearly see that the Landing is just near the Hill Top extraction, which implies a sort of U-Turn shape to the battle. After much debate, I opted for the U-turn shape, as that is the most clear evidence I could find.

Take a look at the last frames of this video, all the way past the credits.
I posted the two images that show that the Landing and the Extraction on the hill are next to each other, forming a U shape.

===========================
Q:
Why Do they need to Shoot the Building?

Ives states it: "If they see us ( Go in the Tunnel) then it's all for nothing."

The whole object of the mission was to create a distraction to make it appear as if they are trying to stop the explosion from burying the Algorithm.
But they want to make it look like they fail, so that Sator kills himself and alerts the Future that the algorithm is there waiting for them.

But in reality, They sneak in and steal it before it can be buried. If they are discovered, Sator would not kill himself and take the algorithm somewhere else to hide. And Tenet doesn't have that information to stop them.

It is just coincidence that they know about this Exact day and motive from Kat and Sir Crosby. Next time , they won't be so lucky. And they won't know where to go to stop him.

Q: Why didn't Neil just stay with Blue team and warn them at the briefing?
Yes, that was the purpose of Blue team.
Neil followed his gut and broke off though. He witnessed the trap being set so that happened and cannot be stopped. Just as in Tallinn when he told TP that going back out there won't change anything, they need to help her here and now, Neil decided to revert and try to stop them from setting the trap off.

It is a good thing he did though even if he failed. Since he was reverted he could steal the jeep and pull them out of the whole in time. And by doing so, he overhears the conversation about the locked door, which he surmises to be him, giving him the opportunity to be the one to unlock the gate.

Man, I feel so bad for Tenet. Because of this pandemic, many people missed out on this movie, and may get eventually lost in time (no pun intended). I love this movie so much !! An underrated gem IMO

[prismak]

After seeing this I understand how much Tenet is underrated

[Sairo]

I wonder if the cast watch this and think ”so, that’s how it went down”

[arujofied]

Neil is literally the MVP of this movie. Like that highly reliable support that you can duo with for 12 hours straight and not get sick of it. Damn.

[RendallRen]

That building assembling itself just before blowing up again in both time directions is madness. It is only ever a whole, unbroken building for a brief moment

[GrayCatbird]

Trying to understand what's going on with the inverted people while watching the film can be a huge mindfuck, but it's really impressive how the whole thing was thought out in a logical way by the filmmakers. I think this movie deserves praise just for its ambition and tackling such a complex premise.

[enriquecomas]

Neil during this scene has 4 duplicates. One at the opera house, one at the tunnel, one performing the mission (he’s also duplicated in the briefing) and one FORWARD version performing the extract. He celebrates knowing that his death saved his superior and the world. It’s a sad and emotional but happy moment x

[shantanus]

We all can count on Welby to breakdown every complex scene that is beyond the average man's comprehension.

[EkoDanuWijaya]

I think Welby is inverted himself to tell Nolan to make the movie Tenet so his present time able to make this explanation video.

[lorenzobonfanti]

Christopher Nolan: being a fucking mindmaster, thinking that everybody would clearly understand his film with vivid understanding of the plot.
Every single human while watching tenet: *confused unga bunga*

[TheJanvicgwaps]

Props to Neil.. He knew he was gonnna be shot but still continued.. What a friend..

[jmwFILMS]

Such an amazing movie and video! Good work!

[evanlucas]

You almost need to spend an hour meditating on the concept of backwards and forwards time existing in the same space to truly prepare yourself to watch and understand the movie.

[anonfinally]

The most mindblowing thing to me about this recreation is it's not only in 3D but 4D.

[snguruprasad]

I still wonder how did d director make such a battle scene having both backward and forward time lines

[BrashSoulstorm]

I still have a hell of a time wrapping my head around this. Usually, Im really good with Time Travel, Im really good at piecing everything together chronologically in my head but this movie? Fuck, it makes my head hurt. With Time Travel, you're still seeing things happen in linear time just at different points in time, with Tenet its seeing things happen in linear time and reverse linear time simultaneously. Its such a fucking bonkers concept. I both love it and hate it lol

[rafaelcristan]

Holy crap this is amazing, the fact that you have understood the film very accurately and *manages to make a 3 dimensional visualization video about it is definitely a big deal.* Mega thumbs up to you, you're amazing, without your videos I'll find it harder to get a correct visualization of what's happening!

And also imagine if these videos are included in the BluRay extras for example! Would be amazing!

[samaugustlee]

Christopher Nolan: how did this guy get our drawing boards

[TubedDogg]

After seeing Neil go into the turnstile at the end (in chronological order from the Blue team's POV) and never come out, reinforces that he died in the tunnel. I'm not crying, you're crying.

[vetoland]

I watched the Tenet Blu Ray behind the scenes recently and their visual effects team did similar Pre-viz for scenes to help everyone understand lol. Keep up the great work Welby! These are really helpful. Even if you can sorta understand it conceptionally, seeing it in a 3D environment helps bring it all together.
