諾蘭導(dǎo)演的新片《信條》的上映為久旱的影院降下了第一波甘霖。這部王牌作品在海內(nèi)外都掀起了觀影熱潮，但是很多觀眾表示看不懂，評(píng)論界也是褒貶不一，在CinemaScore上的觀眾評(píng)分僅為B，甚至在諾蘭的電影中，《信條》的口碑也僅屬末流作品。

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(guān)于逆轉(zhuǎn)時(shí)間的大作《信條》回歸影院后，觀眾口碑已經(jīng)出爐！CinemaScore揭曉的觀眾評(píng)分為B（最低為F，最高為A+）。雖然沒(méi)有判死刑，但是很可能達(dá)不到人們對(duì)深受觀眾喜愛(ài)的導(dǎo)演諾蘭和發(fā)行方華納兄弟公司的期待值。先前包括IndieWire網(wǎng)站在內(nèi)的評(píng)論界對(duì)約翰·大衛(wèi)·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(shù)》以后評(píng)分最低的電影，《致命魔術(shù)》是諾蘭票房較低但成本也較低的一部作品。

Past Nolan CinemaScores are as follows:
“Insomnia” (2002): B;
“Batman Begins” (2005): A;
“The Prestige” (2006): B;
“The Dark Knight” (2008): A;
“Inception” (2010): B+;
“The Dark Knight Rises” (2012): A;
“Interstellar” (2014): B+;
“Dunkirk” (2017): A-.

諾蘭過(guò)去的電影在CinemaScores上的評(píng)分如下：
《失眠癥》（2002年） B；
《蝙蝠俠：俠影之謎》（2005年 ）A；
《致命魔術(shù)》（2006 年） B；
《蝙蝠俠：黑暗騎士》（2008 年） A；
《盜夢(mèng)空間》（2010 年） B+；
《蝙蝠俠：黑暗騎士崛起》（2012 年） A；
《星際穿越》（2014年） B+；
《敦刻爾克》（2017 年） A-；

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(gè)B也是很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間以來(lái)我們?cè)贑inemaScore上看到的第一個(gè)評(píng)分。不過(guò)2020年電影《浴室墻上的字》得到了A。（據(jù)稱CinemaScore網(wǎng)站不收錄少于1500家影院上映的電影，而《信條》目前在美國(guó)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(shí)，有些評(píng)論指責(zé)《信條》過(guò)于復(fù)雜，自負(fù)地將間諜片和科幻片雜交在一起，而有些評(píng)論則盛贊該片是拯救影院的一次回歸。據(jù)報(bào)道，《信條》的音效也讓觀眾感到不適。電影中還有很多解釋情節(jié)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(píng)論是這么寫的：“這是什么樣的電影呢？當(dāng)然是大片：無(wú)情的剪輯后依然長(zhǎng)達(dá)150分鐘的巨幕電影。在看第二遍的時(shí)候，就像在目睹一個(gè)救世主宣揚(yáng)的《登山寶訓(xùn)》，用陰沉的語(yǔ)調(diào)講述了一個(gè)冗長(zhǎng)的謎。任何敬畏之情都被接下來(lái)涌現(xiàn)出的疑問(wèn)給抵消了?！?/p>

Per [p?(r)]: prep. 經(jīng)；按照

dour [d??(r); ?da??(r)]: adj. 嚴(yán)厲的；陰沉的

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(méi)有紐約或洛杉磯的市場(chǎng)，《信條》在美國(guó)和海外的票房成績(jī)依然很不錯(cuò)。在剛過(guò)去的勞動(dòng)節(jié)周末，該片預(yù)計(jì)在世界范圍內(nèi)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(guó)還是票房冠軍，迄今為止的票房收入已經(jīng)超2000萬(wàn)美元。
