This movie is legendary. someday it'll become a classic. I don't know why someone is complaing about why they didn't get to explore more of Oppenheimer's character, or what he was. I think that person needs to rewatch this movie. Scene are not snippets, It is complete and well integrated. Yes, they covered a lot ground. Could it have been a miniseries? of course! but saying that this movie fails to integrate different aspect, is completely false. Even character whom had small screen time, did perfect. I think everyone needs to hit theatre, so Hollywood makes more fucking movie like this. which delves deep in character and dark part of human chatacter. Not everything is Pink and happy. I think, you must watch it in theatre decide for yourself. I think I have spent all my penny well. Thank you Nolan.
This is a masterclass in how to portray subjectivity. I was absolutely immersed in this character and could feel the amazement, horror, and divided feelings that he was going through. The directing was phenomenal and deserves much praise.
it definitely needs a second rewatch is what i strongly think and need to say;
since the first second this movie started, the sound design was out of this world, and its one of the main things i loved about this movie
i felt like i couldn't clearly understand half the stuff Robert Downey Jr's character kept saying, and i feel like i missed out on a big part of the movie because of it, that's why i strongly feel like i need a second rewatch of the movie, then i'll truly know if i ended up loving, or Loving loving my first ever Christopher Nolan movie on the big screen;
when that explosion finally went off, it literally gave me a scare, they did an incredible job with the movie's sound design
it had some **g o r g e o u s** shots as well, especially the last one, where it slowly zooms on Oppenheimer's face;
the anticipation & suspense as they're slowly completing the __Project,__ (with the subtle nuclei reactions SFX that is happening in the background) showing it getting assembled piece by piece.. having the countdown... then __it__ finally going off... it truly immerses you into the experience, and leaves you speechless afterwards, and that, that is only the beginning of it all, because the aftermath, and what follows, is the true horrifying stuff, as Oppenheimer slowly realizes what these events and discoveries are truly leading to;
& the way Nolan depicts Oppenheimer's regret, and all the other emotions he's going through, visually and through sound design, was perfect
This film gave me somewhat of an existential crisis afterwards. It's very hard to explain a film that hit you hard on a personal level. But what I will say is that the film scared me just to think about the world that we live in today. The movie takes you through so much content throughout the 3 hour runtime and is able to cram it all in without feeling like too much information is being shoved down your throat. The third act was my personal favorite because of the intense scenes and the sudden change of the film. The soundtrack is obviously top notch and the cinematography is absolutely outstanding. The performances by Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr felt very emotional. By far Robert Downey Jr's best performance. All of the other performances were great as well and it was cool to see actors that you don't normally see in films anymore (Devon Bostick, Matthew Modine, Josh Peck, etc.). I had a great time with this one but one complain I do have is about the amount of nude scenes, which often felt like they didn't need to be there. Overall, it was a joy to see on the big screen.
This film could have so easily veered toward gratuitous violence, but it never once does. It lets the actors', mainly Cillian's, expressions convey all the horror. The final scene had me fighting back tears over the weight of it.
Watched this on the first day while out on the road and it was the best choice ever. I see a couple of Oscars coming in for Cillian (Best Actor), Nolan (Best Director+Original Screenplay) and hopefully even RDJ (Best Supporting Actor). The movie is well shot, the acting and the cinematography is beautiful. The pace of the movie feels a bit fast (less time to focus on the emotions and more story telling).
A near perfect movie. A perfect 10 none the less IMO because this movie will keep you excited throughout. If I were to be harsh, I'd go down to a 9 on my scale. Damn, this is a good movie. Can't wait to go see it at an IMAX, if I can get a ticket :P
A 3-hour masterpiece someday it'll become a classic movie
Oppenheimer is not a movie, it's a film, it's a masterclass achievement in the history of cinema, a ridiculous achievement in filmmaking and a spectacular experience that should be studied. It's a cinematic detonator, exploding with tension and brilliance. I can't sweat it enough to recommend how good of a movie Oppenheimer is, but it doesn't always cater to the mass.
There it is. My 3rd viewing of arguably one of the most mesmerizing technical achievements in cinema ever. I'm gonna up my rating from a 9 to 10 because it totally deserves every bit of praise it gets. I have read many reviews pointing out the flaws of the movie, while I don't really deny most of them you can't but get pissed at the comments saying how boring the movie is because no movie has ever had me glued to the screen for three straight hours like Oppenheimer has.
I don't have anything new to add that haven't already been said before so I'm gonna cut this review short by appreciating Nolan for this masterpiece and the totally deserving Oscars for the actors, directors and the crew.
Another amazing movie to add to Christopher Nolan's excellent movie portfolio, 3 hours flew by like it was nothing! Exceptionally paced, beautifully acted (by everyone involved but especially Cillian Murphy) the editing, and the soundtrack how fantastic! What can i say? it's as to be expected by now from his previous track record that this is another movie well worth your time. Elevated by the amazing tech behind IMAX.
