I'm trying to theorize a little here. What's the significance of the word "tenet?" It's a palindrome. It's spelled the same way forwards and backwards. A reference to the time inversion? The word also ends where it begins, in a sense, at t.

How about the definition? A tenet is a principle or belief. The woman in trailer 2 around 2:10 says, "The people of the future need us. They need a tenet." I'm not sure if she says "need a tenet" or "need tenet." If it's the former does she mean it literally? The people of the future need a principle/belief? Too similar to Inception? Or does tenet refer to a person? Technology? An organization? The Russian is the bad guy I take it?

Damn, I haven't been this pumped for a movie in a long time.
