《信條》掀起觀影熱潮,但評分卻不怎麼高

Audience word-of-Mouth is in on Christopher Nolan's time-bending return to screens "Tenet." According to CinemaScore, which polls audiences to grade films on a scale from F to A+, "Tenet" has received a B rating. That's not a death knell, but it's likely below expectations for audience-beloved Nolan and "Tenet" distributor Warner Bros., already fielding mixed reviews for the movie starring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson (including from IndieWire). It's Nolan's lowest since "The Prestige," one of the filmmaker's more modest-grossing, and also more modestly budgeted, efforts.

克里斯多夫·諾蘭關於逆轉時間的大作《信條》迴歸影院後，觀衆口碑已經出爐！CinemaScore揭曉的觀衆評分爲B（最低爲F，最高爲A+）。雖然沒有判死刑，但是很可能達不到人們對深受觀衆喜愛的導演諾蘭和發行方華納兄弟公司的期待值。先前包括IndieWire網站在內的評論界對約翰·大衛·華盛頓和羅伯特·帕丁森主演的這部電影也是褒貶不一。這是諾蘭自《致命魔術》以後評分最低的電影，《致命魔術》是諾蘭票房較低但成本也較低的一部作品。

To be fair, the "B" stamp is also the first CinemaScore we've seen in some time, though "Words on Bathroom Walls"(2020) did score an A. (CinemaScore also reportedly doesn't list movies on less than 1,500 screens on its website. "Tenet" is right now on about 2,800 screens in the United States.)

平心而論，這個B也是很長一段時間以來我們在CinemaScore上看到的第一個評分。不過2020年電影《浴室牆上的字》得到了A。（據稱CinemaScore網站不收錄少於1500家影院上映的電影，而《信條》目前在美國約2800家影院上映。）

Reviews, meanwhile, have been scattered between accusing the film of being overly complicated in its conceit combining espionage and science-fiction, and hailing "Tenet" as a messianic return to theaters. Audiences are reportedly also being challenged by the movie's sound mixing. "Tenet" also packs in a lot of exposition to explain its plot.

與此同時，有些評論指責《信條》過於複雜，自負地將間諜片和科幻片雜交在一起，而有些評論則盛讚該片是拯救影院的一次迴歸。據報道，《信條》的音效也讓觀衆感到不適。電影中還有很多解釋情節的闡述片段。

Per IndieWire's review, "What kind of picture is it? Big, certainly: IMAX-scaled, and a hefty 150 minutes even after a visibly ruthless edit. As second comings go, 'Tenet' is like witnessing a Sermon on the Mount preached by a savior who speaks exclusively in dour, drawn-out riddles. Any awe is flattened by follow-up questions."

IndieWire的評論是這麼寫的：“這是什麼樣的電影呢？當然是大片：無情的剪輯後依然長達150分鐘的巨幕電影。在看第二遍的時候，就像在目睹一個救世主宣揚的《登山寶訓》，用陰沉的語調講述了一個冗長的謎。任何敬畏之情都被接下來涌現出的疑問給抵消了。”

Even without New York or Los Angeles markets, "Tenet" is still faring well at the box office stateside and abroad. "Tenet" is projected to gross more than $100 million internationally over the Labor Day weekend, and is also currently ruling the box office in China, with more than $20 million so far.

即使沒有紐約或洛杉磯的市場，《信條》在美國和海外的票房成績依然很不錯。在剛過去的勞動節週末，該片預計在世界範圍內斬獲超1億美元（約合人民幣6.8億元）的票房收入。該片目前在中國還是票房冠軍，迄今爲止的票房收入已經超2000萬美元。
