Oppenheimer 2023

A little bit complicated but incredible

"i don't know if we can be trusted with such a weapon, but the nazis sure can't" might be the only good justification for oppenheimer's contradictory mentality in building the atomic bomb & whether to support using it

amazing movie, 3h and nothing was redundant or out of place

If you are watching this just for the explosion scene, just let me tell you that the part AFTER the explosion scene is some of the best cinema I have ever seen. Can't believe some mfs left after the explosion scene.

Rated a Connor 10, normal 7.4

As a big Nolan fan I was excited to see this…. Until I saw the trailer and there’s Matt Damon saying his “…most important thing to ever happen in the history of the world !” line. Yikes put me right off. I’ll wait for it on Disney+ or whatever and split it over two nights.

In short, the 2 reasons why I like the film but was ultimately disappointed, are: 1. it was too chopped up in edits thus the focus was blurry; and 2. we are too hyped up for a new Nolan movie.
While he is still the refreshing breeze in the stinking film industry that blows our way every once in a while, and yes, his movies are always worth the ticket price- but Nolan just hasn't been the great story teller he used to be.

I find it really hard to discern what the actors are saying when watching Christopher Nolan movies. It was a great movie, but the way the vocals are overlayed took away from my experience. The sounds were a bit too loud (they hurt my ears). But that aside, it was an interesting way to portray a plot line. The visuals were amazing, particularly the bomb explosions. I watched Genius not too long ago (Einstein-related) and it was fascinating to see the portrayal of the "other side".

Hurt itself in its confusion, overstayed its welcome, the waay better version of this film surely exists in the editing room.

What a load of quantum mechanics!
I have to admit I enjoyed this biopic and thought it was visually stunning. It should never have run over the 2hr mark though. I felt like it was watching the directors cut with overly informative scenes thrown in for value. But besides the screen time, the acting is very good and a lot of well regarded actors come in to play to make one of the better films of this year. 7.5/10.

Excellent. Oscars potential for Killian. Puts you in his shoes .

Should not have missed out on VFX potential even with excellent VFX . You could have gone crazy with black holes, supernovas and Atom Bombs . The whole H-Bomb could have been shown.

I was so happy I listened to an episode of "The Rest is History" podcast that gave me a history of Oppenheimer before the movie. My wife didn't and so many scenes didn't make any sense without knowing the background.
Appreciate the different styles Nolan used, but somehow I felt like the jumping from scene to scene just turns it into movie made for the TikTok generation
