I saw TENET tonight at AMC Westminster Promenade in their liemax auditorium (#13).
This was my second ever liemax viewing. The first time was a 2k showing at a different AMC several years back, and it felt like watching the movie through a screen door.
AMC installed a 4k laser projector at the Promenade location last year, and I'm pleased to report that it looked good, even from the 4th row. I believe this is the only 4k laser liemax in Colorado.
Unfortunately, as seems to be the case with all AMC theaters in Colorado, they can't seem to keep stray light off the screen. Both bottom corners were bathed in blue light from the floor lighting, which could easily be masked with a little effort.
The aspect ratio changed frequently throughout the movie, but it wasn't a significant change. Looking at IMDB, I think it was switching between 1.9:1 and 2.2:1. I also believe the very beginning (and nothing else) was 2:39:1. Seeing it in liemax meant I got more picture... but seeing it at an AMC meant the bottom corners were a little washed out.
I chose a sparsely-attended showtime. There were 9 people in a 300-seat auditorium, and I sat several rows forward of the next closest person. I wore a mask the entire time. Last weekend, I bought tickets to see TENET but ended up returning them as that showing grew "crowded" (22 people).
As for the movie itself... It's an amazing, convoluted mess. I really got the sense that there is an awesome film in there somewhere... but It didn't make it to the screen. It was impressive, but it was also tedious and difficult to follow. And yes, the dialog is painfully difficult to understand.
