Shout out to the makeup team for the effort which sparks a gleam into the film. I mean the film is not for everyone and specifically, who doesn't know what cinema is? I highly advise those people to not watch the film who do not like dialogue-heavy films. At the end only word for the film 'Superb'!… Expand

Not the "Manhattan Project", not the "Atomic Bomb", not "The Bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki", just Oppenheimer. It's about the life of a theorical physician who became the most important man in the world and his downfall in his point of view. If you were going into this movie expecting just to be about the creation of the atomic bomb or see the destruction of Japan, then you're setting yourself up to be disappointed.

Although the creation of the bomb maybe the standing climax of this film, there are other purposes that has an important role: Oppenheimer's communist views, the Manhattan Project, security clearance hearing. We also get to see Lewis Strauss point of view of Oppenheimer and the trail as well. This movie is a biopic character study movie work so well in every way. The acting was phenomenal from all cast members, including Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. The pacing and editing were great, the music score was gripping, suspenseful, and well done. The sound has always been Nolan's criticism since The Dark Knight Rises, but it much better here in this movie despite being loud in IMAX.

The movie is treated like a documentary and its bit non-linear which I think some people would find boring considering it's a 3-hour movie of just people talking. I'll say knowing Nolan's style of filmmaking and it's a historical movie, it raises my expectations knowing where it was going. It's even better watching it on second viewing to look back what you miss during the first screening. I think this movie would've been received better for everybody if they didn't have issues with their attention span. Not all movies are meant to be entertaining but find some core of interested of something new we all been craving for. In the world where most summer blockbusters are CGI-fest, action packed, corny writing, this was actually refreshing.… Expand

There's something that still amazes me about the minimalism that fills all aspects of his productions, like how the sets are never bloated, how the characters are understated, from set design, to makeup and wardrobe.

So many directors want you to know it's 1945 or 1980 so damn hard, in all shots. Nolan doesn't do that, and in turn, you forget it and start living in the moment, which is whatever he says it is.

My problem with Oppenheimer was that it was the first Nolan film that had taken the interesting narrative elements from his other films in a really obvious way. Like the parallel black and white scenes like in Momento. Actors who were like chariciture's of real people, like in his Batman films, and it actually took away the authenticity of the story itself. It seemed like it was almost done to reign the film in and make it more approachable, but in return, took something away.

It just didn't seem grounded as all his other films were... in that sense.

The acting was just phenomenal, Emily Blunt, what an amazing role, everything that came out of her mouth was convincing. Overall, couldn't fault it and even with the actors that only had little roles. They all were authentic.

Except for Florence Pugh, out of all the characters, her's didn't feel relatable, and if anything, not real at all. Like Cobb's wife Mal, in Inception.… Expand

This movie is a visual, audio, and acting masterpiece, and lives up to any hope that a true Nolan fan has. More so, it gives the audience a deep dive into the morality of the atomic bomb.

Cut to within an inch of its life and scrambled out of sequence. It frustrated me by the end but it’s also the movie that convinced me that Nolan is capable of mastery and not just spectacle. The cinematography, script, acting, music: all stunning.

I’ve loved Nolan’s films with huge reservations for years. His major vice, in my opinion, is that he’s deeply insecure about his stories being interesting or intelligent enough on their own merits. So he chops them up into confusing chronologies and buries the dialogue behind a wall of sound design and music so that you’re figuratively leaning forward in your seat just trying to comprehend the most basic elements of the story and script. It feels like you’re interested but really you’re just confused. It’s kind of a sleight of hand on the part of the director.

After being irked by these tendencies in Inception and Interstellar and fully annoyed by them in Dunkirk, Tenet was the culmination of all of Nolan’s worst tendencies and I basically gave up on taking him seriously after that.

I’m happy to say that Oppenheimer rights many of these wrongs. There is no punishing Wagnerian score from Hanz Zimmer. Instead it’s thoughtfully and often minimally scored with whole chunks of blessed quiet. Finally! I understood 90 percent of the dialogue in this movie, even though it was often happening too fast to process. Unfortunately it’s yet another Nolan film told in a spaghetti of chronology. This was so unnecessary. This story, played by this cast, with that dialogue would have been riveting in basic chronological order. It’s also just way too long. As good as RDJ is in the part, his storyline hijacks the film and turns it into some showdown between an embittered man and a scientist, instead of what the film starts out as: a meditation on a complicated genius whose paradoxes may be hypocrisies. Had the film been shorter and with more space in it, you could have had more time to luxuriate in the ambiguity. I’m glad I saw it on a big screen. It was really beautiful. I loved all the abstract micro photography they cut in. Since Nolan has asked us to consider Oppenheimer’s hypocrisies and short sightedness (“How can someone who sees so much be so blind?”), I’m going to call him out on a bit of what I see as b.s. Nolan has come out as the patron saint for seeing films in theaters on the big, silver screen. This is now part of his brand. My hot take is that Nolan makes films that can’t be experienced or even understood properly in a single viewing. He makes films that are designed to be rewatched multiple times at home before they are comprehendible. He makes movies for the DVD, director's commentary generation. Movies that sometimes need reddit and reviews and comments sections to translate. As opposed to films which offer a complete experience in a single sitting. I think he is working at odds with his stated goals. I hope Nolan makes a movie this good where he gives up on needless complexity and recognizes the power of quiet and space. And that he finally makes another film like Memento or The Prestige which offers a complete experience on first viewing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched it today in an IMAX cinema. It was a very nice film with extremely good video and audio quality. I liked how the story was told, but sometimes it gets a little confusing because there are many different people participating in the story.

I really appreciate that it's a film where you take away something informative rather than just being for entertainment. My favorite scene was the ending, where Oppenheimer talked with Einstein. They weren't sure if the detonation of the atomic bomb would trigger a chain reaction, causing the entire atmosphere to burn and end all life on earth. According to their calculations, the probability of this event was almost zero, and their calculations turned out to be correct; it didn't happen. However, after the detonations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Oppenheimer told Einstein that he thinks their calculations were wrong, and the development team had indeed created a chain reaction. This basically means that now everyone is trying to build a bigger bomb since the concept has proven its potential, which is a significant threat to human life.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a very powerful film, arguably one of the most important messages ever made for any movie. The film also had a very powerful anti-Nationalist scene later on in the bleachers after the test bomb was detonated, it could be viewed as a warning, against what the power of the Atomic bomb could have done to America. It isn't really a time to be gloating about the power we used, but rather the implications of the inevitable arms race that resulted.

The film was powerful because it presents events that occurred in history 'as is', but also looks to the future- with a grim warning. All too often we have forgotten the dangers of what the post WWII Cold War era brought to the world in today's world 2023, but the danger is as real and present as it ever was now, as it was then. And the movie does such a excellent job showcasing that danger with a powerful and everlasting message

The message and themes of Oppenheimer will stay with you long after the credits roll. It is a beautiful and dark film. But one for the ages. With a director that is better than 99% of the rest of what comes out of Hollywood, one of the last true great Hollywood Directors to make a movie about so important of a Historical character and event in history.

Go see this movie, it will be perhaps one of the most important ones you will have ever seen.… Expand

Una vez ve creada reflexiona sobre su creación y desde entonces su vidaSegunda guerra mundial, el físico Julius Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) dentro del Proyecto Manhattan, crea ensayos nucleares para construir la bomba para EEUU. Una vez ve creada reflexiona sobre su creación y desde entonces su vida dependerá del uso de armas nucleares. NUESTRO GALACTUS

Wow, quién iba a decir en aquella época, los 40, que ya tendríamos creado el arma más letal y destructora cómo ha sido la bomba atómica, creada por J. Robert Oppenheimer, un físico neoyorquino de 1904 de orígen judío. No sé cómo vivió esa experiencia el ser humano pero en la sala del cine la he vivido cómo si fuera real con los temblores de las butacas. Además de que me tocó reservarlas en la 2a fila. Con los pelos de punta hasta el final.

Christopher Nolan regresa a las pantallas después de Tenet para demostrar una vez más que puede hacer lo que quiera, contándonos en este caso la biografía de Oppie (Cillian Murphy) y el monstruo que creó con el Proyecto Manhattan, lanzado en Hiroshima y Nagasaki en nombre de Harry Truman (Gary Oldman, el James Gordon de El Caballero Oscuro, obras maestras de nuestro Nolan), 33o presidente de EEUU, que acabó con la guerra en 1945. TRES HORAS, PERO NOLAN HACE QUE NO QUIERA MIRAR EL RELOJ.

Sonará muy típico, pero es uno de mis directores favoritos hasta el momento, aunque aún me falta mucho director por descubrir, pero me hace sentir algo diferente a los demás, es tán perfeccionista con cada segundo de la trama. Sus historias me fascinan, crea de ellas una paradoja y las vuelve lo más intimista posible. Nos hace pensar, reflexionar. Tratar temas que en nuestro día a día no cobran vida. Le puede salir mejor o peor pero su huella no desaparece y le reconocemos.

No quiero estropear la película con mis palabras. Pero cada vez que la veo me emociono más. Nolan no solo nos trae una película histórica cuyo tiempo no abruma porque está perfectamente narrada. Es una reflexión de lo más profunda sobre la moralidad de la ciencia y la condición humana añadiendo una banda sonora excelente que te hace ver las mismas visiones que tiene Robert, son increíbles. Al salir del cine guardé instantáneamente la banda sonora en mi playlist. Y por si fuera poco, también tenemos el lujo de presenciar actuaciones merecedoras de Oscar y merecidas de Cillian (Oppenheimer) y Robert Downey JR (Lewis Strauss), sólo estos dos pueden protagonizar a estos grandes personajes que te obligan a adentrarte en ellos entendiendo todos sus puntos débiles y fuertes, los hacen creíbles y conmovedores. Aunque los personajes femeninos no hayan tenido tanto papel en esta, tenemos a una Emily Blunt (Kitty Oppenheimer) poderosa, con unas reacciones faciales y frases fuertes, con gusto de presenciar. Lo mismo opino de la encantadora Florence Pugh (Jean Tatlock) que me ha hecho la historia más amena cuando ella aparecía. Pocos momentos pero fabulosos. En general, el reparto es brutal, hay intérpretes que no han tenido tanto protagonismo pero se nota que tienen que estar ahí: Rami Malek (David L. Hill), me encanta este hombre, Josh Peck (Kenneth Bainbridge), David Dastmalchian, Dane DeHaan (Kenneth Nichols). Y el gran Tom Conti interpretando al físico Albert Einstein, y muchos más. Más películas así necesitamos en el cine y presenciarlas con inquietud, que te lancen esas sensaciones cómo hace esta historia, que hoy en día poca gente experimenta, a veces por obligación social. Y se agradece, incluso emociona. Que bonito es el cine. Y cómo lo echo de menos cada vez que salgo de él.

Thankfully, while the message and thematics are dire, the experience itself is still nonetheless absorbing and even exhilarating at times. The Trinity test sequence itself is worth the price of admission alone. For me, though, I think the most impressive feat to marvel at in this is that of Cillian Murphy's lead turn as the titular physicist in question. Without a doubt, this is a career-defining performance for him and I absolutely think it should be in consideration for the highest of honors, come awards season. Massive kudos to Nolan, as always, for making films that beg to be seen on the largest of screens. This is, most definitely, another one of those -- one I'm excited to watch again.… Expand

With a slew of greatChristopher Nolan impresses yet again with another compelling and gripping drama, this time depicting the essential figure behind one of the most controversial moments in American politics, J Robert Oppenheimer. With a slew of great performances scattered throughout the film's 3 hour runtime, Cillian Murphy dominates every scene he's in, which fortunately, is more than 90% of the movie. With this role I think Murphy has made his best case for the best actor award at the Oscars next March.… Expand

I fell into the trap, and so did the packed cinema last night. Sadly, I think Nolans reputation precedes itself, where you are coerced into thinking everything the man does is genius. The Batman Trilogy, Inception, Dunkirk and Interstellar = incredible. But Tenet was a miss, and Oppenheimer was the same, but for different reasons.

The first 2 acts reminded me of 'The Imitation Game', which I enjoyed more, and for the life of me, I can not understand how there are that many people out there who enjoyed the final act of this movie, and are willing to rate it "10/10, best movie ever, top film of this decade".

If I was streaming it at home, I would have turned it off.. instead, I was sat in a packed cinema for 3 hours, waiting for the credits to role so I can go home.… Expand

I bought into theEvery single YouTube movie reviewer gave Oppenheimer a 10/10, legendary status, future classic masterpiece review. They couldn't get enough of it, hyping up how it was brilliant, poignant, a master of modern day cinema. I bought into the hype, went out to watch it over the weekend, and ugh was it a freaking pile of pretentious poop.

Nolan freaking LOOOOOVES to edit his movies nonchronologically for some reason. There were 3-4 different timelines, locations, and narratives taking place at the same time throughout the movie, it was nauseating. One minute you're in the present time with Oppenheimer working at his nice office and exposition dumping, them BOOM next minute you're back at the trial with Oppenheimer being interrogated, then POW suddenly it's young Oppenheimer going to school or going to communist parties, then BAM it's back to Strauss during his senate hearing, then ZOOM suddenly they're now in the New Mexico desert riding on horses. Just because something is told out of order and in a purposefully confusing way DOES NOT MAKE IT GOOD. In fact it's the exact opposite, IT MAKES IT BAD. It's a cheap lazy way to try to get your audience to figure out the movie by purposefully making it more harder to follow.

And what was up with the constant EXPLOSIONS?! Five minutes of people talking and exposition dumping then KABOOOOM HUGE FIREBALL. Then it's quiet again for two minutes with more people talking and exposition dumping then BOOMBOOMBOOM PEOPLE STOMPING THEIR FEET LOUDLY.

And holy hell was this movie pretentious as crap! I think I counted at least 5 different scenes were people were LOUDLY CHEERING AND SCREAMING "OPPIE! OPPIE! OPPIE!" They made Oppenheimer seem brilliant - no, they made him seem like a genius - NO, at one point he's literally proclaimed a effing PROPHET and he can do no wrong! Oppenheimer is so effing OP he can walk up to Albert effing Einstein, whisper into his ear, and make Einstein RAGE QUIT and STOMP OFF in defeat LOL.

But worst of all! WORST OF ALL! Was the effing PACING of the movie! My god this movie never had a scene last longer than 30-60 seconds, considering this movie is 180 minutes long that's gotta be HUNDREDS OF SCENES in this movie alone! What a terrible effing screen play! The movie didn't even seem like a movie, it was 90% exposition dump, I wanted to see them BUILDING THE ATOMIC BOMB, I wanted to see LOS ALAMOS and the MANHATTEN PROJECT with scientists theorizing and testing and planning... but none of that happens until 90 minutes into the movie and YOU ONLY GET TO SEE 30 SECOND CLIPS OF ANY OF THAT. Instead you get left with a THREE HOUR LONG MOVIE TRAILER. With 30-60 clips throughout the entire runtime, one liners everywhere that are supposed to be deep and poignant but since there's no time to let any of it soak or marinate it just feels so SHALLOW and EMPTY.

I rate it a 6/10, not a bad movie by any stretch, but nowhere near as good as Nolan's previous works. I actually fell asleep during the movie until LOUD EXPLOSIONS made me jump back up, maybe that's why Nolan edited so many explosions in the movie, to keep people from falling asleep LOL.… Expand

I feel like Christopher Nolan Stans will like this, but overall this seems to be a fine wine in a Red Flip Cup. The editing and pacing tends to skew from fast and engaging to slow and confusing. Nolan has been the master of show, don't tell and with this comes the central focus of Cillian Murphy as the real life Physicist, J Robert Oppenheimer.

From the opening shots you are drawn into a world according to Oppenheimer and his interactions with various people throughout his life of Theory to bringing in one of the most devastating weapons human's have ever created. This movie felt about 30-40 minutes too long, but I can understand why the director decided to keep a couple of the beats in there after the bomb and the consequences beyond blowing people up vs Oppenheimer's reputation. Like most Oscar Bait Films, you're kinda stuck with a one and done kinda watch.… Expand

I was unsure if Nolan could get me again because my experience with Dunkurk and Tenet - his most recent movies - was not great. Fortunately, Oppenheimer is much more than I expected.

Even being an unknown genre to Nolan, the way he conducts it is outstanding. Watching almost all of his films makes the experience even better because you can notice all of Nolan`s signatures. So, 3h of movie. Is it tiring somehow?

No. I got hooked on every single minute of it. Not only 'cause I was super interested in the subject. The dialog is really good, and if you like political matters, this is a field day for you. Along it, you have memorable performances from all cast, a magistral OST - that sounds amazing on cinema - and crazy photography with practical effects. Sounds scary 'cause it really is.

All that combined with a script that plays with time to create tension and man... you got one of the bests movies of the year. What a time to be alive. Also, I cannot forget to mention how masterfully Nolan can use silence as an instrument of terror. if you watch it, you know exactly what I am talking about.… Expand

I'd say that it is 10% about the making of the bomb and 90% about a political witch hunt/ administrative process dealing with his security clearance decades later. Who cares if an elderly man keeps his security clearance? He developed the bomb that killed hundreds of thousands of people and perhaps ended WWII. By focusing so much on his security clearance and what that might do for his finances and the tail end of his career, it severely minimizes the important part- the bomb. And the hearing dragged on and on and on. The rest of the movie was a combination of snappy CSI style clever dialogue chess and quick cuts with an overbearing soundtrack. It felt like a never ending montage. I have a physics major and I knew the general story as I'm a history buff. I should have been the target audience for this. I've give it a 3/10.… Expand

To be honest, even though I regard Christopher Nolan as one of my favourite, if not favourite film directors, when I first heard that Oppenheimer was his next film, I was a bit skeptical. Oppenheimer is a drama/biography is a genre Nolan hasTo be honest, even though I regard Christopher Nolan as one of my favourite, if not favourite film directors, when I first heard that Oppenheimer was his next film, I was a bit skeptical. Oppenheimer is a drama/biography is a genre Nolan has not tackled before. So I was not sure how this one would come out, and was cautious to jump on the hype of the Barbenheimer craze.

BUT

After watching the film, I realise my doubt was misplaced and I have grown significantly more respect and appreciation for Nolan's work.

Oppenheimer was an amazing film!

Despite it being nearly three hours long, I was really impressed how they managed to give the film a fast pace. The film never really felt like it slowed down. The intensity was constant throughout. In a weird way, it felt like the ticking of a time bomb, always progressing to something bigger.

Ludwig Göransson's soundtrack was impeccable. It just complemented the film so well and played a major role in maintaining the films quick pace. I don't think I could name a another film where the soundtrack was so integral to the film.

All the actors and actresses gave outstanding performances! Cillian Murphy! My goodness! Oscar Worthy performance from him. I enjoyed the way the film kept me enraptured in his Oppenheimer's psyche. He brought such an emotional intensity to each scene, purely through his facial expressions and body language. I truly empathized with his moments of conflict where he gets caught in the thick of war and politics and how he is forced to grapple with the consequences of his actions.

I was also throughly impressed with Robert Down Jr's performance as Lewis Strauss. He made it seem so easy. I believe he could be a contender for Best Supporting Actor.

Credit must go to Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh, who did not have as big roles as Murphy, but did really well when they were on screen.

I love that Nolan always opts for shooting using IMAX cameras because it gives his film a unique visual style. The shots didn't have insane composition but I enjoyed their shooting style. They made use of many closeups which kept me engaged and allowed me to sympathise with Oppenheimer more. The closeups ups also kept you absorbed in the tension and did not allow you to escape. I continue to enjoy Hoyte van Hoytema colour palette as well with the combination of greys, blue, black etc.

This film is also a triumph in filmmaking because Nolan showed that even though there is no action but mostly dialogue, there are still ways you can use the film language to make a film engaging. On top of that, he still manages to share his unique artistic flair because even though Oppenheimer is a biography, it still felt like a "Christopher Nolan Movie" with it's sprinkles of espionage, special effects, surreal imagery etc.

Oppenheimer manages to live up and surpass the hype in many ways and could honestly go down as one of the most riveting dramas/biographies ever made!
The ones giving it bad scores are childish reviewers that can not understand the meanings on the movie. Too many marvel movies I guess...… Expand

This is an amazing character study about what it is to be a theoretical scientist in academia as well as a project manager for one of the most important secret projects in modern history. Robert Downey, Jr., is remarkable as a fragile man propelled along by ambition and revenge. All the acting is outstanding and the soundtrack moves the audience's emotions to crescendos. I took my grandsons (14 and 16 years old). They couldn't stop talking about the story, the characters, and the moviemaking. I appreciated the black/white device which defined the time jump and allowed the story to be told in "real time" and in "past time." I wish the female characters had had larger roles (are they on the cutting room floor?) but their fleeting presence gives a tacit view of his personal side. Einstein device was masterful.… Expand

Visually impressive and thematically rich, this is easily Nolan's best film in a while. While the history's quite loose, it does dramatize the events well. Despite its running time and quiet nature, the film is riveting and magnetic

It's a good movie though, a great story and it's well told. It's a tapestry of stories really, from very macro developments (pre-2nd world war through mcarthyism) to interpersonal relationships of the many characters, to the internal turmoil en development within the main character, Robert Oppenheimer. Very creative use of sound, vision, color and abstract visions to convey complex inner feelings/thoughts of the titular character. The performances across the board of the many a-list actors is fantastic as well. The 3-hours running time never felt long to me. Amazing to think this all really happened.… Expand

The politics of Oppenheimer, which are center stage in the latter portion of the movie, were boring to me but are an important part of the biography. I didn't like Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, he seemed stiff and out of place in most scenes, despite the physical resemblance between the two men. In comparison, Robert Downey Jr. was excellent, Matt Damon was good, and overall a good performance from all the actors. I loved Truman's honesty HA!… Expand

3 hours you will wait until the movie finishes waiting and waiting and waiting to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki explosion and you will get disappointed they only show you 3 seconds of local test fire (not explosion) on the screen ,

Oppenheimer may be a great movie for some, but the historical context still remains because there have been some inaccuracies relating to the film. Not a bad movie, but not great either.

The short review: This film covers J Robert Oppenheimer's and Lewis Strauss's careers, using the former's 1954 hearing on the renewal of his nuclear security clearance and the latter's 1959 Senate confirmation hearing on his nomination as theThe short review: This film covers J Robert Oppenheimer's and Lewis Strauss's careers, using the former's 1954 hearing on the renewal of his nuclear security clearance and the latter's 1959 Senate confirmation hearing on his nomination as the Secretary of Commerce, to go into multiple flashbacks that covered the development of the A- and H-bombs, the communist witch-hunt and the latter's hate over the former. It is a good film with great acting, but it is hampered by Nolan-isms and excessive dialogue.
> Related media: I have not read the book this film is based on called American Prometheus.
> Negatives:
> 1. The Nolan-isms present in Tenet are back! The two hearings mentioned above, being five years apart, are not covered chronologically. Then there are multiple flashbacks that are also not shown chronologically. Labels on the year of the event shown would have helped, but no... there is not a single one! Some scenes are shown in black and white to indicate they are close recreations of actual events, while the coloured scenes are dramatisations of other events. Smart-ass Nolan could have easily made this clear!
> 2. While I understand that this is a drama, there is too much dialogue, particularly when this is 3 hrs long (including credits). While the dialogue is somewhat engaging, the dialogue can be cut down by some 30 min and some of this replaced with more interesting scenes. This will unfortunately raise the film's cost of $100m by a lot however.
> 3. I had expected more coverage of the Manhattan Project work and did not expect than coverage of dialogue-heavy hearings.
> Positives:
> 1. It is a rather engaging film (engagement reduced due to length of film), with great acting from many.
> 2. It is an amazing effort to make a epic film for only $100m nowadays, considering the long list of actors, many of whom are respectable.
> How would the different age groups rate this: > Children: Average (overly long, dialogue-heavy and hard to follow)
> Teens: Good > Young adults: Excellent > Medium-age adults: Excellent > Older adults: Excellent
> My rating: 4/5 (no half scores). Go watch it in the cinema (because it is good and everyone is discussing it now; if the movie had come out at other times, you should only need to catch it on TV.)… Expand
