OK, yes, the sound mixing is a little dicey on this, and depending on how nice the audio plays with your home setup or headphones, it might not be the worst idea to just turn on the closed captions. This is best enjoyed as a visceral mind-bending experience with a great premise and ambitious, terrifically cool action sequences that are unlike anything else, not a story where you try to track everything that's happening at a given moment. It also improves dramatically on second and third viewings (which I'd say is a typical feature time-travel movies in general, but Tenet is certainly on the extreme end of that).
(I sometimes idly wonder if there could be a viable version of this where Elizabeth Debicki's character is more centered as the actual main character, instead of John David Washington’s unnamed "Protagonist," because it seems like she's the one with the more interesting dramatic situation and character arc. But that’s neither here nor there.)
