counting down the days for this legendary movie that we're about to be blessed with

The trailer did nothing particularly to catch my interest. I was mostly seeing it because of the hype from others to see what it was about.

And watching the movie there still wasn’t anything particularly that caught my interest.

I never felt bored throughout it despite the length, and the acting + writing was good. But I never felt invested in the characters and story. I felt I could go out on a bathroom break at pretty much any point, come back, and not felt like I had missed anything essential.

I also felt like they couldn’t decide if they wanted to make a hero or a villain out of Oppenheimer. So they tried to do both. And through trying to do both, they failed to do either. This really became a point of uneasiness and disconnect in the final stanza of the movie.

This movie is legendary. someday it'll become a classic. I don't why someone is complaing about why they didn't get explore more of Oppenheimer's character, or what he was. I think that person needs to rewatch this movie. Scene are not snippets, It is complete and well integrated. Yes, they covered a lot ground. Could it have been a miniseries? of course! but saying that this movie fails to integrate different aspect, is completely false. Even character whom had small screen time, did perfect. I think everyone needs to hit theatre, so Hollywood makes more fucking movie like this. which delves deep in character and dark part of human chatacter. Not everything is Pink and happy. I think, you must watch it in theatre decide for yourself. I think I have spent all my penny well. Thank you Nolan.

This is a masterclass in how to portray subjectivity. I was absolutely immersed in this character and could feel the amazement, horror, and divided feelings that he was going through. The directing was phenomenal and deserves much praise.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Oppenheimer’:

1. Much of the film, particularly in the beginning, felt more like a montage than a movie. The scattered-ness of the scenes created a disconnect that made it difficult to absorb what exactly was going on.

2. Why the black and white? What purpose did that serve? I’ll probably find out at some point, but it’d be nice to know in real time.

3. I certainly didn’t expect Nolan to give us _Oppenheimer for Dummies_, but I really wish he would have. Performances were clearly impressive _(I’m looking at you, Cillian)_, but they’re hard to fully appreciate when everyone is having rapid-fire conversations about fairly complex situations — and you’re too busy trying to keep up. This being my biggest qualm.

Give Cillian a fucking Oscar already. Its so good, so powerful. It explodes in your face, a movie meant to be seen on a big screen! The movie of the year

Nolan is a masterful film maker and aspects of Oppenheimer deserve tremendous praise. However, sometimes Nolans creativity with timelines can hinder storytelling. Oppenheimer is a example of this. I also find it strange that Nolan devoted so much time to politics when the scientific and psychological aspects of the story are much more interesting.

Can't wait anymore. My blood is already pumped up

I was thoroughly impressed with how well-paced this was. I had been worried that it might feel overly long, but for the most part, it did not.

I had a few issues with the third act, but everything prior to (and including) the Trinity test was sublime.

very nice cinematography ; it really felt that you where there ; loved the ending (not the stories end but what he said to Einstein)
didn't always love the time jumps (4 timelines in one...)

Watched this on the first day while out on the road and it was the best choice ever. I see a couple of Oscars coming in for Cillian (Best Actor), Nolan (Best Director+Original Screenplay) and hopefully even RDJ (Best Supporting Actor). The movie is well shot, the acting and the cinematography is beautiful. The pace of the movie feels a bit fast (less time to focus on the emotions and more story telling).

A near perfect movie. A perfect 10 none the less IMO because this movie will keep you excited throughout. If I were to be harsh, I'd go down to a 9 on my scale. Damn, this is a good movie. Can't wait to go see it at an IMAX, if I can get a ticket :P

Like an atomic bomb: huge impact and perfect execution.

In his first biopic, Christopher Nolan delivers one hell of a payload. It's flawlessly directed, well acted (I'd love to be Cillian Murphy's tailor come ward season), incredibly cast (RDJ, Emily Blunt, Safdie, Matt Damon, Benny Safdie excel in the supporting roles), brilliantly written (the juggling of story arc, character arc, conflict, insight, knowledge was impressive) and beautifully filmed.

Incredible cinematic experience.

The tragedy is that when studios drop the bomb that reduces movies to computer data and raze theaters so that viewers seek shelter in their home cinemas, landmark experiences like Oppenheimer will be lost forever and there will be nothing left behind in the mushroom cloud of technology except for the crater of things that once existed.

The first act is over the top, almost unserious but it seriously picks up steam in the third act featuring the moment every moviegoer will wait for with bated breath (even though we all know it well). Arguably, however, the crux of the movie is in what comes after the deed is done. The political machinations of a warring, complicated world — and, as subtle as it may be, the hard fought battle for free speech and the free expression of ideas without fear of suppression, at least by the state machinery. We forget history too often, and Nolan’s version is entertaining while sufficiently historical.

8/10
