I felt tense/on edge throughout the whole movie, which is a big accomplishment for a movie like this. The soundtrack, sound effects, and editing all play a big part in helping build tension throughout the movie. The Trinity test was well done, but the best scene of the movie was Oppenheimer's speech in the gymnasium, as well as the interrogation scene.

Overall the movie does a good job of examining what Oppenheimer was dealing with, both morally and politically. Murphy is great as Oppenheimer, but Downey Jr. steals the show in the last third of the movie as Lewis Strauss. It is an incredibly serious and dark movie, and does a good job of bringing you into considering the ramifications of the nuclear arms race and nuclear holocaust. There are minor issues with the sound mixing where the soundtrack was blasting over the dialogue, but this seemed to only be in the beginning of the movie. People who are interested in politics, geopolitics, and/or history will probably enjoy this movie more than others, but you need to pay close attention to the fast-paced dialogue from the very beginning or you can get temporarily lost.… Expand

Even at his worst, such as with his last film Tenet, it is still way more entertaining than a majority ofChristopher Nolan is one of my favourite directors operating today. He makes some of the most entertaining movies in modern cinema. Even at his worst, such as with his last film Tenet, it is still way more entertaining than a majority of movies released. After the Warner Bros same-day streaming debacle they pulled; Nolan left for Universal and this is his first film with them. Does Nolan continue to deliver or has he dropped a big bomb?

Cillian Murphy has been a long-time collaborator with Nolan but this is the first time he is the main lead. He is PHENOMENAL as the titular character. He gives such nuance to his performance through body language and facial expressions alone to convey the emotion of his character. It is such a breath of fresh air from the normal yelling Oscar performances you see. He is genuinely perfect at Oppenheimer and if he doesn't get a nomination for his performance then I will be fuming! One surprising aspect of watching this film was how stacked the cast truly was. There are so many well-known actors in here that I didn't even know was even in the movie. Every supporting actor is terrific in their roles, even if it was a very minor role. The biggest standout amongst the supporting actors has got to be Robert Downey Jr as Lewis Strauss. He gives a spectacular, compelling and even frighteningly realistic performance that makes his character stand out from the crowd. It is great to see him in a non-Marvel role and knock it out of the park. If he doesn't get a nomination for the best supporting actor then I will be also fuming!

This movie is 3 hours long but you won't even feel the length because of the amazing pacing. Despite being a drama, it never drags or bores you. It moves from scene to scene very quickly in a non-chronological order but you're never lost either. There are lot of scientific jargon which is to be expected as this is about the making of the nuclear bomb. However, the excellent screenplay makes these relatively understandable so that non-scientist can easily comprehend what's going on. There is some great political tension in the 3rd act as well which was handled masterfully. In terms of story, it is juggling a lot with Oppenheimer's early life, the making of the bomb and the aftermath. Despite this, Nolan does an amazing job of exploring the character of Oppenheimer which shows all aspects of him, including his flaws. The constant build-up and tension to the bomb is incredibly engaging!

Ludwig Goransson, the composer of Tenet, returns for this film. His music score is wonderfully haunting with his use of violins. His music score illustrates the horror of the actions of these scientists. Hoyte van Hoytema also returns as the cinematographer. His cinematography is visually stunning and this is thanks to the practical sets, natural lighting and real locations used. On that note, the use of practical effects and no CGI is just so awesome to see. Nolan thankfully didn't use a real nuke but he still replicates it practically and it certainly shows! The realistic explosion meant it didn't take us out of the movie as you don't question the look of the explosion as it is real. When the explosion occurs, it is weirdly captivating and frightening to look at just like it was for the characters. The sound design is also a highlight as the sound of the explosion is impactful and even terrifying. The sound itself is the jump scare and it works. The only nitpick I have with this film, which is a common problem in Nolan movies is sometimes I just can't hear what the characters are saying because of the weird sound mixing. It isn't as bad here as it was in Tenet but it is still a problem.

Overall, what an amazing movie from Nolan! This is a monumental and engrossing achievement from him. Nolan is one of the few directors whose name alone is enough of a reason to watch and Oppenheimer does not change that. He successfully made a 3-hour biopic drama, the most entertaining film of 2023. Oppenheimer isn't one of those Oscar-bait movies that were made to just win an Oscar. It was made to be enjoyable for everyone and that is why this film should win best picture. This is a must-watch for everyone as it is the best movie of 2023 so far!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh, where do I even begin with this disaster of a movie? "Oppenheimer," directed by Christopher Nolan, is an absolute train wreck that left me questioning why I wasted my time and money on this incomprehensible mess.

First and foremost, the pacing of the film is abysmal. It drags on and on, making a snail's pace look like a Formula 1 race. The excruciatingly slow storytelling is accompanied by a convoluted and disjointed plot that jumps all over the place without any semblance of coherence. I felt like I was watching a collection of random scenes clumsily stitched together rather than a well-crafted narrative.

Let's talk about the characters. They are as lifeless as a pile of rocks. There is absolutely no depth or development to any of them. Despite having talented actors on board, the script fails to give them anything meaningful to work with. It's as if Nolan expected the audience to be mind readers and understand the characters' motivations and emotions without any proper exploration.

And don't even get me started on the dialogue. It's filled with pretentious, pseudo-intellectual jargon that seems to be Nolan's attempt at profundity but ends up being laughably cringe-worthy. I half expected the characters to break into soliloquies about the meaning of life while staring at the sky in slow-motion.

The film's visual effects are perhaps the only saving grace, but even they can't make up for the sheer boredom induced by the rest of the movie. It's almost like Nolan was so focused on creating visually stunning scenes that he forgot to care about telling a compelling story.

Furthermore, the historical inaccuracies in "Oppenheimer" are unforgivable. Nolan takes significant liberties with the events surrounding the development of the atomic bomb and the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Instead of honoring the real-life complexities and nuances of the subject matter, the movie twists facts to fit its own narrative, which only serves to further insult the intelligence of the audience.

In conclusion, "Oppenheimer" is an overindulgent, self-important mess that fails to deliver on any level. It's a baffling combination of boring storytelling, lifeless characters, and historical revisionism. Save yourself the agony and steer clear of this cinematic disaster. Christopher Nolan should seriously consider taking a break and reevaluating his approach to filmmaking after this debacle.… Expand

Advertised to be a more mature evolution of Christopher NolanWhen the film starts getting too much for you and you need a break from the barrage on the senses, just close your eyes and imagine that Oppenheimer is played by Morgan Freeman. Advertised to be a more mature evolution of Christopher Nolan movie but it suffers from the same problems as his other films. Outside of the genuinely astounding visuals and sound design, it plays out like a trailer of the movie itself. It's like he's trying to shove an entire series into a movie and I'd have been happy if half of it was cut out. It's kind of like a genius billionaire teenager made the movie. Another fun thing to do in the parts where you start losing concentration because you're only human: Imagine your face is the camera and notice just how many times you have to look around, or move in time, or change to black and white or witness a very odd sexual metaphor out of nowhere. It's a good movie, it's a LOT of movie, Cillian Murphy is great (other than him and Matt Damon, no one really get's a chance) but I can't imagine it being remembered as a great and I think these great reviews will subside eventually because it's a 3 hour music video.

If Steven Spielberg was hired as Nolan's directing coach then I think amazing things would happen.… Expand

The whole movie as beautifully chaotic as it is outright haunting.

My only regret is I watched Barbie right after Oppenheimer. All the feelings i came out with after watching Oppenheimer were replaced with pure anger while watching Barbie. Barbie is a pathetic movie trying to cash in on the moronic 'woke' movement, pushing women to hate on men.

Please do not do the mistake of watching Barbie or any movie for that matter after Oppenheimer. Let the movie stay with you for a while. Depending on how good is Killers of the flower moon, Cillian and RDJ are lock for Oscars.… Expand

I've been a huge fan of Nolan since Memento and this was by far his most dull yet. That it was filmed in IMAX is hilarious because there's not a whole lot to look at except for actors talking. 99.9% dialog for 3 freakin' hours. No reason at all to even watch this in the theater, and the dialog is so boring at times that it seems even Nolan was aware of it and decided to splice in all these weird effects, loud music, rumbling bass, and other sounds to make it more interesting. There is ONE nail-biting scene in the whole thing, and that's when the test bomb goes off. Then it's followed by another hour or so of boring dialog, and overacting by Robert Downey Jr. Never seen a more bored looking audience, either. 2 people started clapping at the end and nobody joined them LOL.

But somehow this one got away from him. He tried his darnedest to make this good by adding loud music and cutting all over the place between multiple time periods, but we're nevertheless left with a story where very few interesting things happen. Maybe 5 interesting things in 3 hours, and you already know one of them. The other 4? I've already forgotten. Some of the acting is good here, including Cillian in the lead. He deserves a better movie for his commitment to the role. A lot of actors feel miscast here, from the well known to the less well known. Downy? Miscast. Damon? Miscast. Both key supporting roles I was keenly aware were being played by those actors doing a schtick. The best thing I can say about this film is that some of the cinematography is nice. Were you to pause it and just enjoy the scene on a visual level, it works. As for the script, the dialogue was quite poor apart from a few great lines. Not enough subtlety. Characters will just say things to Oppenheimer like: "You *are* the great improvisor." or "You *are* the man who brought Quantum Physics to the United States." Uhhhhhhhh, ok. He's "the great improvisor," I'm told. Because that's something a real person would say to their boss. I promise you, whoever's reading this, I'm not an angry internet troll, I'm not a bot, and this is not a stunt score. Oppenheimer is a colossal misfire.… Expand

One of the most essential parts of the movie is how it takes a deepSimply a phenomenal movie, maybe even the best I've ever seen. The message conveyed is not only conveyed masterfully, but might actually be the best movie I've ever seen. One of the most essential parts of the movie is how it takes a deep dive into Oppenheimer's own thoughts, the choices he had to make, and especially explores his fears. The behaviors he exhibited and the choices he had to make really make you question if he did the best he could and ultimately if he made the right, moral choices.

The film does an excellent job of showing both Oppenheimer's personal life and his work on the Manhattan Project. The different people involved in the project and their contributions were also represented well. The movie beautifully shows the development of the Manhattan Project and the climatic Trinity Test.

Something that really gripped me during my viewing was the silence exhibited after the flash of the nuclear bomb went off. Never have I sensed such a quiet crowd in a movie theater. The way Nolan captured us all in this moment is something to marvel at.

In terms of actual performance, Cillian Murphy, the lead actor, does an amazing job as Oppenheimer, showing all the different emotions of the character and exhibiting perfect emotional delivery of his character. The other actors also do a great job, adding more depth to the story.

Throughout my viewing, I could not ignore the reminder of the danger of nuclear weapons present throughout the movie. It reminded me how dangerous nuclear war could be, and most hauntingly, that it is not an event in the past, but rather something still dictating our world today.

For me, "Oppenheimer" is much more separate as a piece of cinema compared to other films as it feels like it really communicates a message vital to how we live our lives today. While other movies deal with real themes too, the way "Oppenheimer" addresses nuclear war all throughout the movie compels me and communicates to me in a way like no other. For these reasons, I legitimately believe this is Christopher Nolan's best work thus far, and is the best movie I've ever seen, and some may argue it may even be the best movie of the 21st Century thus far.… Expand

His cinematography is unmatched. Time to go downvote allI see a few morons are already on here downvoting all the positive reviews which this movie, like all Nolan movies, easily earn. Can never go wrong with a Christopher Nolan movie. His cinematography is unmatched. Time to go downvote all the Barbie 10's, because that movie is no where near as praised as Oppenheimer, and Barbie won't be winning any awards, whereas Nolan will easily be taking home some more Oscars to add to his collection!

Only reason why Barbie will make more money is because it isn't rated R, and I've already seen tons of kids and their parents dressed in pink, supporting the brand. Now for the real men and women in the world - Oppenheimer is for you and it is rated R, which of course always makes less money than a PG or PG 13 film.

Man, I love being right all the time! Sorry Barbie fans, but your movie isn't winning any awards at the next Academy Awards show, but you'll get to see Oppenheimer win several ;) because that's a real movie. I'll wait to see Barbie when it's free on torrent, for sure, just because I do like some of the actors in it. But this real man can't wait for more IMAX and Nolan!!… Expand

Christopher Nolan has once again delivered an awe-inspiring cinematic experience that leaves the audience spellbound from start toAs a devoted fan of historical dramas, I can confidently say that "Oppenheimer" is an absolute masterpiece! Christopher Nolan has once again delivered an awe-inspiring cinematic experience that leaves the audience spellbound from start to finish.

Casting Cillian Murphy as Robert Oppenheimer was a stroke of genius. His portrayal of the conflicted scientist was both nuanced and emotionally charged. He brilliantly captured Oppenheimer's intellect, determination, and moral dilemmas, making the character come alive on the screen. Murphy delivers an Oscar-worthy performance. Also, Robert Downey Jr as Lewis Strauss did an excellent performance. This is by far Downey's best performance, and he also deserves an Oscar nomination. The supporting cast is equally praiseworthy, with outstanding performances from Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh.

From the first frame, the film immerses its audience in a spellbinding narrative that perfectly balances historical accuracy and captivating storytelling. The attention to detail in depicting the era is unparalleled, transporting viewers back to the 1940s and the intensity of the Manhattan Project. The meticulous recreation of the Los Alamos laboratory and the wartime atmosphere adds an authentic touch, making the viewers feel like eyewitnesses to a defining moment in history.

The cinematography deserves special commendation, as it brilliantly captures both the beauty of the New Mexico landscape and the intensity of the laboratory's scientific endeavor. The haunting musical score adds an extra layer of depth, heightening the emotional impact of critical moments throughout the movie.

"Oppenheimer" stands as a testament to the power of cinema to educate, entertain, and provoke introspection. It expertly delves into the complex interplay of science, politics, and human morality, reminding the profound implications that scientific discoveries can have on the world.

Christopher Nolan has once again proven why he is one of the greatest directors of our time. Brilliantly written, impeccably directed, and expertly performed, the film leaves an indelible impression that will stay with viewers long after leaving the theater.… Expand

However, up until this point, the majority of hisChristopher Nolan is quite a renowned director, so much so that he has successfully secured major studio financing for films that few other directors may ever have the opportunity to direct. However, up until this point, the majority of his works have revolved around science fiction, and even with a film like Dunkirk in his repertoire, Oppenheimer is the film that feels like his graduation.

While this film might not be the magnum opus I had in mind, I reiterate that I judge based on results rather than expectations. Despite encountering a few execution and tonal hiccups, it remains a great piece of work and showcases Nolan's most mature and sober effort in his entire career.
And incidentally it's supported by an exceptional performance from Cillian Murphy who I believe has delivered the definitive role of his profession.

The cast is huge, but the big names are Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. who succeeds in completely shedding the Tony Stark persona. And it's not that I doubted he could pull it off, but there are a lot of people who only know him for that role.

I'll admit, the three-hour length doesn't really impact the film's overall performance, but it does affect how time is handled. Throughout the movie, we see jumps to various time periods, yet everything centers on the testing of the first nuclear bomb, which happens in the second hour. It's at this point that Oppenheimer takes a different turn, delving into the aftermath of the act and the devastating attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so the issues becomes about politics and moral repercussions.

It definitely doesn't change the effect of what the story is trying to tell but I could notice that the audience's reaction changed in that hour because everything after that moment is pure dialogue. As I said we are talking about something serious, but I can understand how some will be conflicted when their idea of entertainment is shaken by the fact that in that particular hour they are no longer building suspense but dealing with the consequences of what a legacy implies. And what a legacy we're talking about.

Oppenheimer delivers the goods and that's the most important thing about it.
It's a great movie that has to be seen in the big screen because it is made for them.… Expand

Christopher Nolan's direction is both intelligent and captivating. Known for his intricate narratives, Nolan applies his skills to this historical context, creating a gripping film about power, guilt, and scientific morality. His attention to detail, well-constructed storyline, and unique narrative style are impressive, making Oppenheimer a standout piece in his renowned filmography.

Cillian Murphy's portrayal of the title character, J. Robert Oppenheimer, is phenomenal. He embodies the character's dual nature as a brilliant physicist and a troubled individual, drawing empathy from the audience. Murphy's performance is enhanced by his chemistry with a stellar supporting cast, adding to the film's narrative depth.

To sum up, Oppenheimer is a triumphant film that educates, entertains, and moves its audience. Its meld of Nolan's visionary direction and Murphy's superb performance make it a transformative experience not to be missed in theaters.

Holy hell there's so much to unpack here! I'm pretty certain my mind has never been pulled in so many directions at once by a film. Directed with great flare by Christopher Nolan, J. Robert Oppenheimer (played to brilliant perfection by NolanHoly hell there's so much to unpack here! I'm pretty certain my mind has never been pulled in so many directions at once by a film. Directed with great flare by Christopher Nolan, J. Robert Oppenheimer (played to brilliant perfection by Nolan regular Cillian Murphy) and his life and legacy are chronicled here down to the finest details, from his early years spent learning and teaching quantum physics to the inception of his Manhattan Project during WWII to his eventual fallout with the U.S. government following his dropping of the atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki due to the immense moral pressure and guilt he faced in the hundreds of thousands of lives he felt responsible in destroying, along with his haunted past and suspected communist ties. Where do I even begin with this colossal achievement of a film!? For starters, since this is Nolan we're talking about here, this is no traditional by the numbers by biopic by any means! No, this is moreso an intimate and very internal and personal look inside the mind of one of the most brilliant yet tortured minds in our world's history. This film DOES NOT shy away from showing us exactly what's going on inside Oppenheimer's mind from start to finish, and there's A LOT of inner turmoil and tension, as shown by the constant images of friction, explosions, and mathematics that race through his mind. Another creative technical choice made on Nolan's part that reminded me quite a bit of one of his earliest efforts 'Memento', is the constant shift between color and black and white sequences (the color scenes being objective and from Oppenheimer's perspective, and the black and white scenes being subjective and based within historical fact.) I will say however that a common complaint about Nolan's recent films that I for once agreed with this time is that it was far too loud and difficult to understand the dialogue in certain scenes, which is a bit disappointing, because this film races a mile a minute with its dialogue-heavy structure for practically its entire three-hour runtime, making it almost fly right on by for me! As for the performances, if Murphy isn't given his first overdue Oscar nomination for this film come next year, I'm gonna throw hands, because he was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! He's always been talented and criminally underrated, but my God, if this performance of his doesn't get the Academy's attention, nothing will! As for the massive supporting cast, it's so difficult to single out so many people that I want to single out, but for starters, Robert Downey Jr. as the opposing Atomic Energy Commission chairman Lewis Strauss stood out so incredibly well here with his commanding screen presence. I'd say he's pretty overdue for another Oscar nomination as well, and this film would be the perfect one to give it to him for! Other notable players here include Emily Blunt as wife Kitty Oppenheimer and Florence Pugh as Oppenheimer's mistress Jean Tatlock (both of whom were criminally underutilized for this film), Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, hell even Josh Peck! The list goes on and on! Overall, while there are some sound issues in a handful of scenes,the film moves at an almost breakneck pace in spite of its dialogue-heavy delivery, though I wasn't quite as blown away with it as I'd hoped I'd be. However, I was certainly floored in virtually every other way by this film, from the camerawork to the score to the mile a minute dialogue! While it's still not Nolan's best film in my eyes (I don't think he'll ever top 'Interstellar' or 'The Dark Knight' personally), it isn't at all a stretch to call it for what it truly is: his magnum opus.… Expand

A trama em torno de Oppie, interpretado brilhantemente por Cillian Murphy, cujo em seus olhos podemos compreender todo o peso de sua criação. Um grande questionamento sobre até onde vale carregar na consciência um feito histórico que moldou o mundo em contraste com um olhar de culpa pela consequência do quê o mundo se tornou mediante a sua criação!
Excelente interpretação de C. Murphy carregando esse filme com os olhos, sendo o pilar de um elenco de apoio magistral onde cada personagem tem claramente uma cena de destaque impactante em algum ponto dessa cronologia.
É o trabalho mais maduro do Diretor, excelente filme … Expand

No propaganda, no division between men and women, no false agendas. Just pure talent, honest and creative movie making skills, very good acting, this is what cinema was made for.

It's a great film and if anyone is on the fence about seeing it or maybe walked out early on because they did not fully grasp everything happening.
