I expected more action.. the movie is super long and full of politics. Don’t waste your money and just watch the home release. The movie is not worth a big screen shot

It's just too long, so it makes the whole experience dull and inefficient from a narrative standpoint. Actors are great, but visually I preferred The Dark Knight.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. These reviews must be paid for. While the movie did have great acting, it certainly did not make up for the fact that it was incredibly tedious and boring.

I love quantum physics and was expecting an interesting delve into the science behind the creation of nuclear weapons, instead we received an extremely long, drawn out political biopic. Other than Cilian Murphy's fantastic job of portraying Oppenheimer, none of the characters were interesting in the slightest. I had no emotional investment whatsoever.

After the build up to the trinity event, the payoff was abysmal. The one single shot of a nuclear explosion didn't look anything like an actual nuclear explosion, and they completely glossed over the events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The last 45 minutes of the movie could best be described as torture.

I really wondered how they were going to make a 3 hour film on Oppenheimer interesting, turns out: they didn't. Probably the most tedious movie I've ever had to sit through.… 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

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

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

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

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

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
