Oppenheimer never loses or disengages you throughout its pulverizing 3 hours. It never ceases to give you something you want to see more of. Nolan is playing the game at his highest level. Sometimes the pacing does work against, but never to the films detriment or effect. The captivation never makes you doubt. It's done so well, and captured with such virtuosity. And leaves you with a sense of haunting bewilderment as Nolan teases the idea of what could destroy the world. Maybe his most provocative film yet, maybe his best, but certainly the kind of movie I've waited to see from him for a long time. I would've been okay for the pacing to be stretched out in a 4 hour movie. The quality, performances and filmmaking make it worth it. But the 3hr bombshell I'll accept.… Expand

If you are scared of it being a wikipedia about the Man himself, It kind of is, but to be honest, the way Nolan wrote the movie, you don't feel bored at all. If you are expecting a Marvel quality movie, then you will be disappointed. This movie is great in what it does good, and does not need crazy one liners or action scenes to stay good throughout.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oppenheimer is Nolan's most important work and the most influential film of the last two decades, and although it tells a historical story in the past, the main message of the film is about the future, which according to Nolan can be very scary, and this future is not controlled by people and scientists, but by the government. rulers and leaders of the country
In other parts, we can mention the wonderful acting of Cillian Murphy and Matt Damon, the magnificent music of the director and the perfect script of Oppenheimer. Along with Inception and The Dark Knight, Oppenheimer has the best ending in Nolan's works.
Nolan is a director who will never be forgotten and has created the most lasting works of the last two decades of cinema.
And finally, it should be said that Nolan does not show Oppenheimer as a hero, nor does he make him a saint, but shows him as a completely gray person whose greed for power and great fame and lust for science made him abandon ethics.… Expand

It reminded me of The Imitation Game since it had some espionage elements and it switches back and forth between time periods. The acting is really good, which is pretty normal for biopics, but this one sets itself apart with some artsy scenes that are meant to visualize Oppenheimer's ideas about physics. I am not a physicist, so I have no idea if the scenes were accurate, but what I do know is that they looked pretty impressive on an IMAX screen.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. J. Robert Oppenheimer, a name forever etched in the annals of history, is synonymous with both scientific brilliance and ethical contemplation. Often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb," Oppenheimer's contributions to science, particularly his leadership during the Manhattan Project, have left an indelible mark on humanity's trajectory. His complex persona and the consequences of his work raise profound questions about the moral responsibilities of scientists and the implications of their discoveries.

Oppenheimer's scientific prowess was undeniable. His early academic pursuits led him to excel in theoretical physics, where he displayed an innate ability to grasp intricate concepts. His contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory laid the groundwork for our understanding of subatomic phenomena. This deep understanding of physics ultimately led him to take a central role in the Manhattan Project during World War II, where he led a team of brilliant minds in developing the world's first atomic bomb.

The Manhattan Project was a scientific and engineering marvel but cast a long shadow over Oppenheimer's legacy. The ethical dilemma he faced – creating a weapon capable of unimaginable destruction – haunted him throughout his life. The visceral impact of witnessing the destructive power of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki weighed heavily on his conscience, leading him to famously quote the Bhagavad Gita: "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." This haunting introspection showcased the deep moral considerations that scientific advancements can demand.

Beyond the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer's contributions continued to resonate. He played a crucial role in shaping post-war science policy and education in the United States. His tenure as the chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission allowed him to advocate for the peaceful use of nuclear technology and to emphasize the importance of international cooperation to prevent nuclear proliferation.

In addition to his scientific and policy contributions, Oppenheimer's legacy is defined by his enigmatic personality. He was a man of contradictions – charismatic yet reserved, a visionary yet plagued by doubt. His struggles with political scrutiny during the McCarthy era showcased the potential consequences of being too far ahead of one's time, as he faced accusations of communist sympathies. This chapter in his life underscored the complex interplay between science, politics, and personal conviction.

In conclusion, J. Robert Oppenheimer's legacy is a tapestry woven from his scientific brilliance, ethical introspection, and complex personal journey. His contributions to physics and his leadership during the Manhattan Project pushed the boundaries of human knowledge but also forced society to grapple with the ethical implications of scientific progress. Oppenheimer's life serves as a reminder that scientific discovery is not devoid of ethical considerations and that the choices made by scientists can shape the course of history. His story challenges us to reflect on the responsibility of advancing the frontiers of knowledge and technology.

In a world where scientific breakthroughs continue to transform our existence, the life and legacy of J. Robert Oppenheimer offer a timeless lesson in the enduring interplay between human ingenuity and the moral dimensions of progress.… Expand

Oppenheimer is a masterpiece of cinema that explores the life and work of one of the most influential and controversial scientists of the 20th century. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film is a gripping and nuanced portrait of J. RobertOppenheimer is a masterpiece of cinema that explores the life and work of one of the most influential and controversial scientists of the 20th century. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film is a gripping and nuanced portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, and his role in the Manhattan Project, the secret program that developed the first nuclear weapons during World War II.

The film boasts an impressive cast of actors, led by Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, who delivers a captivating performance as the brilliant and tormented physicist. Murphy portrays Oppenheimer’s genius, ambition, moral dilemmas, and personal struggles with remarkable depth and subtlety. Emily Blunt is equally compelling as his wife Katherine, who supports him through his professional and emotional challenges. The film also features Matt Damon as Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves, the military leader of the project, Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a political adversary of Oppenheimer, and Kenneth Branagh as Niels Bohr, a mentor and friend of Oppenheimer.

The film is not only a biographical drama, but also a historical thriller that recreates the tense and dramatic events that led to the creation and use of the atomic bomb. The film shows the scientific breakthroughs, the ethical debates, the political intrigues, and the human consequences of the project with stunning realism and accuracy. The film also uses innovative cinematography and visual effects to depict the nuclear tests and explosions in breathtaking detail.

Oppenheimer is a film that will leave you speechless and moved by its powerful story and its profound implications. It is a film that honors the legacy of Oppenheimer and his colleagues, but also questions their responsibility and accountability for unleashing a new era of warfare and destruction. It is a film that challenges you to think about the moral and ethical issues of science and technology, and their impact on humanity and history. It is a film that you should not miss.… Expand

The script is awful and overall plot confused and has no real direction, message or deliverance. I caught myself looking at the clock several times, you could easily cut 2/3 of this movie and probably make a few adjustments to get a better movie across. I am quite confused what this movie, that is Nolan, is trying to tell us? To try and make us feel sorry for the person who created the atomic bomb? I’m no Greenpeace snowflake, but that’s like trying to create sympathy for the devil. It’s impossible and why even try? Didn’t think that Nolan had to retort to buying up-votes on IMDB/Metacritic, certainly not for his

Very good film, I admire how they managed to capture the audience's attention for 3 hours with a film that is largely dialogue. Of course, it is not the great movie of the century, I missed good visual effects.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the greatest movies I have ever seen

It poses so many moral dilemmas and questions and has 2 of the greatest scenes in cinema, those being the bomb testing and the scene where he is speaking to an audience only to be haunted by the death of those in Hiroshima. My one complaint is that the twist villain kind of seemed to come out of nowhere and didn't add much to the plot.

It is shocking that people are still considering ATSV and barbie to win best picture when this masterpiece exists. go watch it NOW.… Expand

The combination of brilliant director Christopher Nolan and consummate master actors create an impressive masterpiece that elevates the cinematic art form above its past. "Oppenheimer" is an epic biographical picture that not only reveals the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer before us, but also makes the viewer think about deep questions of science, ethics and human destiny.

The cast of the movie, led by the magnificent Killian Murphy, embodies the characters with unprecedented conviction. Murphy recreates J. Robert with such vividness that his emotions and inner monologue seem to be intertwined with the soul of the brilliant scientist. Robert Downey Jr. as Strauss brings depth and intensity to the movie, creating a compelling chemistry between the characters.

Nolan once again demonstrates his incredible skills in creating stunning visual compositions. From the mushroom cloud scenes after the Trinity bomb test, to delving into the complex ethical dilemmas of building an atomic bomb. Each frame reveals deep meaning and evokes inner resonances. Visual effects become an integral part of the story, immersing the viewer in historical moments and making them experience the emotions of the characters.

The soundtrack, which organically complements each scene, gives the movie additional depth and emotional intensity. Magnificent musical support allows the viewer to immerse even more into the world of "Oppenheimer" and feel its intriguing atmosphere.

Nolan, like a virtuoso artist, plays with the chronology and structure of the movie, creating a fascinating journey through times and events. The beginning, which seems a bit slow, turns out to be strategically important to the development of the plot and reveals it in a new way.

"Oppenheimer" is not just a movie, but an intellectual and emotional journey. It is a work of art that adds to an unforgettable cinematic experience and leaves a deep mark on the soul of every viewer. Christopher Nolan reaffirms his status as a great director, and "Oppenheimer" becomes a shining jewel of Hollywood.

On the whole, it remains interesting.

It's in the second half that the film takes off, offering us what Christopher Nolan does best: twists and turns, an unparalleled sense of narrative, and above all plenty to ponder both the events and its psychological and philosophical implications. This is how we forgive the length of the first part and bow to this breathless, morally pressing biography of Oppenheimer.… Expand

The cinematography, score and acting is some of the best in the industry. The cast is excellent. Each character executes their role with surgical precision. Robert Downey Jr. puts on a great show throughout the film, and whilst I don't think his performance is ground-breaking, RDJ manages to hold the floor every time he appears on screen. I think that after the almost 10 year stretch of solely playing Iron Man, a character he essentially became, people were keen to see "what's next?" for RDJ.

That being said, I think Oppenheimer falls victim to some of the same problems that spoiled Nolan's previous film, 'Tenet'. I spent a decent amount of time scratching my head thinking "what did he/she just say?". I have no idea why the dialogue in Nolan movies is often mixed as if it's some sort of secret, like we're not supposed to hear half of it. It's a lot better this time round but damn, it really makes no sense. I viewed this film in an IMAX theatre so from the average consumers perspective, there's not much more you can do to mitigate this issue.

Whilst I did not find myself getting bored at any point of the films 3 hour run-time, I did feel slightly overwhelmed with the amount of name-dropping throughout. I'm usually pretty quick to catch onto things in films, but especially in the 3rd Act where the film essentially turns into a court room drama, it becomes pretty cumbersome trying to keep up. This comes from someone who is not a history buff, so perhaps those well-versed in this field will have a much smoother experience.

Overall Oppenheimer is a good film for sure, there was never a point where I was pulled out of the experience, however it is marred by some of the same strange stylistic choices as some of Nolan's previous work.… Expand

And yet it is also a filmOppenheimer is a film that evokes mixed feelings in me. What is shown on screen is a convergence of enormous work in research, character studies, cinematic thinking of shots, great sound design and masterful acting. And yet it is also a film that you cannot easily recommend. Without research or prior knowledge, it is difficult to follow through rapid succession of conversations between many characters exploring the deeper layers of physics. In my opinion, Nolan also tried to build in a certain sense of tension through the excessive use of music in almost every conversation. It was a bit too much.

The film feels like it is working towards the climax in the form of the trinity test. However, this is just the start of a whole new political twist in the story that feels like a movie itself. As a result, for me personally it felt like I was watching an entire season of a series in one sitting. The whole thing felt like a long mush of information and content towards the end of the movie.

And yet, the message of the film. It's a painful reality that will never go away. Something that is food for thought long after you leave the cinema.

PS Come on Nolan…So much research for a movie but the so called Dutch language was painful to watch. As a Dutchman I could not understand one word.… Expand

J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) war ein bekannter Physiker, welcher als der Vater der Atombombe gilt. Er leitete das Manhattan Project, in dem mehrere Physiker waren, die für den Bau der Atombombe wichtig war. Oppenheimer zeigt 45J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) war ein bekannter Physiker, welcher als der Vater der Atombombe gilt. Er leitete das Manhattan Project, in dem mehrere Physiker waren, die für den Bau der Atombombe wichtig war. Oppenheimer zeigt 45 Jahre des Lebens von Oppenheimer und fokussiert sich auf seine Folgen, nach dem Bau der Atombombe und seine Nähe zum Kommunismus. Dabei ist sein größter Widersacher Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.), der Oppenheimer aus Rache schaden möchte.

Oppenheimer ist der neuste Film von Christopher Nolan und ist richtig Star besetzt. Jede kleine Rolle ist gut durchdacht, sei es Mathias Schweighöfer oder Gary Oldman. Alle sind perfekt getroffen und sind interessant, bis auf Emily Blunt, diese kann nicht besonders gut überzeugen und ist als einzige nicht Ernennens wert. Cillian Murphy spielt Oppenheimer super und hat eine Oscar-Nominierung verdient. Wer den Oscar für den Film definitiv verdient hat, ist Robert Downey Jr. Er spielt den Gegenspieler von Oppenheimer so überzeugend und brillant. Damit zeigt er auch, dass er nicht nur Iron-Man ist, sondern auch in ernsten Filmen noch zu überzeugen weiß. Der Soundtrack und die Effekte sind ebenfalls brillant und es ist sehr spannend den Film anzuschauen. Der Bau der Atombombe bzw. die Zündung ist nicht das Hauptthema, sondern es wird sich auf den Charakter von Oppenheimer fokussiert.

Oppenheimer ist ein sehr gute Biopic und man interessiert sich mehr für das Thema nach dem Film und will sich mehr damit befassen. Der Soundtrack bzw. der Sound und die Effekte sind fantastisch und haben einen Oscar verdient. Wenn man hier einen Film erwartet, welcher Actionreich ist und es viele Explosionen gibt, wird hier enttäuscht sein und den Film nicht mögen. Wenn man einen Film sehen möchte, der den Fokus auf die Charaktere und die Folgen für Oppenheimer.

Часто дело даже не столько и не сколько в их качестве, изумительной игре актёров, хорошей операторской работе, потрясающем сценарии и добротной режиссуре, хотя конечно, это тоже играет роль. Главное здесь - время выхода. Возможно, 'Оппенхаймер' (простите, буду писать так, как эта немецкая фамилия на самом деле звучит) не стал бы великим фильмом в ту эпоху, когда подобные фильмы с колоссальным количеством диалогов, глубоким сюжетом и невероятной по масштабу истории снимали бы пачками. Но их не снимают - то ли по причине повестки, то ли кривых рук, то ли творческой импотенции, то ли всего сразу.

Что же такого великого в «Оппенхаймере»?

Ну первое, разумеется — актёрская игра. Спасибо, СПАСИБО тебе, Тони Старк! Спасибо, что ты освободил от себя Роберта Дауни-младшего и позволил ему полноценно раскрыться как искусному мастеру и сыграть лучшую роль в карьере.

Неожиданно здорово и смело сыграла Флоренс Пью.

Ещё более неожиданно весьма сочно в роли генерала Гровса смотрелся Мэтт Деймон.

Ну а ирландский обаяшка со слегка грустным по жизни взглядом по имени Киллиан наконец-то сыграл в шедевре главную роль. Это Оскар, безоговорочный и однозначный.

Кстати, фемсообществу рекомендую присмотреться к героине, великолепно сыгранной Эмили Блант. Вот она — реальная женская сила, а не всякое повесточное чёрт знает что.

Далее — операторская работа. Хойте Ван Хойтема — золотая находка для Кристофера Нолана. Кажется, режиссёр может просто подойти к нему и сказать: «Хойте, надо снять эпично и напряжённо». Ну а Хойте в ответ: «Ни слова больше, кэп».

Ну и наконец, режиссура и сценарий - Кристофер Нолан собственной персоной. Тут я себе уже всё-таки не позволю прям пускаться в восторг по поводу Криса, потому что он сам такую планку задрал своими творениями (правда, «Довод» мне не очень понравился), что соответствовать ей далеко не всегда под силу даже ему самому. «Оппенхаймер» вряд ли поднимает эту высоченно задранную планку, но точно находится на её уровне.

Нолану среди его коллекции мрачной супергеройки и научной фантастики нужен был такой же выдающийся фильм, где главная изюминка — история, а не графомания. «Дюнкерк» был неплох, но Нолан мог лучше. И он сумел лучше, подарив нам лучший фильм 2023 года.

Спасибо, Кристофер! От имени всех поклонников кино, которое не обыдляет, а образовывает — спасибо ОГРОМНОЕ!

Such is itsChristopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is nothing short of a cinematic tour de force. From its opening frame to its captivating conclusion, the film is a 180-minute masterpiece that grips you, leaving you on the edge of your seat. Such is its brilliance and immersive storytelling, I hardly noticed the passage of time. Few films possess the allure to draw one back to the cinema for a rewatch, but Oppenheimer is undeniably one of them.

Ludwig Göransson's soundtrack deserves a standing ovation on its own. The auditory journey he crafts is mind-blowing. Each track is meticulously tailored to its corresponding scene, resonating with the film's varying emotions and pacing. The music flows with such elegance and coherence that it feels like a singular, 3-hour-long symphony, seamlessly underscoring the narrative.

In a world saturated with films vying for attention, Oppenheimer stands as a testament to what cinema can achieve. It's not just a movie; it's an experience—one that lingers long after the credits roll.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oppenheimer" was excellent. All of his strengths & weaknesses are presented in roughly chronological order, with flashbacks when perspective is needed.
He had a disconnect between himself & his ego. His attempt to poison his college professor puts this on display. This was to carry over with his involvement in inventing the atomic bomb; he went from a frat boy boasting of his achievement to something that ended up around his neck.

He was a womanizer, too. Driving his first wife to suicide after having an affair with his second. But you best believe Hollywood played up this angle as graphically as possible. Then there's the product placement; J & B scotch. But none of this harmed the movie too much. Robert Downy jr. plays up the villain real well as Senator Strauss. His speech about securing power was chilling. Matt Damon's turn as general Grove as simultaneously encouraging & prodding shows his skills as an actor. Cillian Murphy was great as J. Robert.

If Cillian Murphy is denied an Oscar for his haunting portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer, it shall be one of the great injustices in cinema history. The supporting cast was brilliant, especially Emily Blunt. I lost count of the ensemble cast of brilliant actors lining up for a few moments of silver screen time in this 3-hour journey that seemed to flash by. Imax certainly does justice to the vision of Nolan, from overwhelming visuals of the sub-atomic world and the expanded universe to the floor-shaking sound effects. The fast-cut scenes have an emotional impact when layered on unforgiving sounds. Oppie is a flawed and haunted man, a notion made quite evident from the beginning frames of the movie. He brings the wide-eyed wonder of a child as he journeys around the world in the quest for knowledge, meeting giants of physics upon whose shoulders our modern life rests. In a sense, he goes through a complete anti-hero’s journey from naivete, to triumphal power and finally down to defeat, disillusionment and despair. All throughout, we see his constant rationalization and justification of his inevitable march towards becoming the destroyer of worlds. One is torn between sympathy and hatred for this deeply complex genius. There are so many cautionary tales in this movie, about moments in history when one could swerve in a noble direction instead of taking humanity to the brink of self-destruction. There are other lessons about the politics and machinations of power and the urgency of avoiding enemies through humiliation. The warnings of Einstein delivered throughout the movie hammer home repeatedly. They say the age of discoveries is past us, and that there is nothing new to unlock anymore. Oppie and his companions were the last great explorers of the universe. What they unlocked remains the final frontier of science, everything that follows rests on their shoulders.… Expand

It tells some of Oppenheimer's background both in his career and personal life, tells about his actions and importance for the atomic bomb project during the war and also captures the administrative "trial" he faced afterwards, but the scenes and timelines are all mixed and delivered to us at the same time.
It's very Nolan, the atmosphere of the movie, the creativity, the way it hooks you, I think no one could have done better.
The movie can be very captivating, there is tension at times and how they presented to us the bombs trials is simply amazing.
I found myself really engaged with the movie and invested in the story, but not so much afeter a certain point. Unfortunately, the movie overstays its welcome a little bit, it should definitely be shorter. The third arch (the administrative hearings) which gets a bigger focus during the third section of the movie can be very tiring. The whole background story about his family and career before the war could be shorter too in order to make us less tired later on.
With all that being said, the movie is amazing, and I would recommend watching. The camera, colors, audio, every technical aspect is also a masterpiece.… Expand

The trinity test is one of the greatest moment and will be remembered in cinema history. Everyone was so captivated that there was pin drop silence in a fullhouse theatre no munching popcorn, no squeaky chairs nothing. That truly showcasesThe trinity test is one of the greatest moment and will be remembered in cinema history. Everyone was so captivated that there was pin drop silence in a fullhouse theatre no munching popcorn, no squeaky chairs nothing. That truly showcases the beauty of the movie. It's might sound generic but literally all aspects were great and work together so well collectively to tell the story beautifully the visuals, the music, the cinematography... Best biography I've seen hands downs, being historically accurate while also being so much fun and captivating is truly the beauty of Nolan's direction. I'm not being a fanboy but Nolan deserves all the credit here, most of the story is about a single person and he's the person of focus most of the time yet Nolan manages to keep everyone hooked for every single moment of the 3hours. Even after the movie ended I just sat there till after the end of credits and not because the movie felt incomplete but rather because it's truly complete and you're just sitting there thinking through it knowing what a great time you had and acknowledging that's it the movie has ended.

I feel the critique mostly comes from people who lack some basic understanding of the history of The Trinity project , the war and some basic concepts of the bomb.

Would highly recommend to watch veritasium's yt video about oppenheimer which helps a lot.… Expand

What an achievement. Nolan manages to make each conversation feel like an action sequence, paired perfectly alongside Goransson's pounding score. the film may be 3 hours but it moves at 100 miles an hour. Cillian Murphy and RDJ both produceWhat an achievement. Nolan manages to make each conversation feel like an action sequence, paired perfectly alongside Goransson's pounding score. the film may be 3 hours but it moves at 100 miles an hour. Cillian Murphy and RDJ both produce career defining performances and are shoe ins for Oscar nominations at the very least. However, the performance I found the most powerful was Emily Blunt's, she didn't have the screen time of Cillian or RDJ but used each second just as well and may have the most memorable and powerful scene of the entire film. An absolutely captivating and thrilling experience, and potentially Nolan's career best.… Expand
