    I haven’t actually seen it yet. I’m wondering if seeing this review every day will keep it that way.

        Will defo see it but probably at home now. As someone else mentioned I think I wanted to see it in IMAX for some kickass CGI nuke action. But sounds like it doesn’t have it. Hopefully Nolan secures a real nuke for the sequel lol

          I don’t know why people haven’t mentioned to you the part where Oppenheimer first says “Now I am become death. Destroyer of worlds” is in a sex scene. Nolan has chosen strange ways of framing certain scenes in this movie.

          Eh I think it’s worth seeing in IMAX. Especially if you have access to one of the theaters showing it in 70mm film.

          Don’t go in expecting “kickass CGI nuke action,” it isn’t that kind of movie. I wasn’t underwhelmed by it, but my expectations weren’t at the level of some people apparently.

        This just isn’t true. The vast majority of the movie is people talking in rooms. There is nothing really added by the big screen. I wish I had just waited to stream it.

          Totally agree with this. The much hyped “nuclear explosion without CGI” looked like a run of the mill action film car bomb. I mean it was a good looking explosion. It just wasn’t wow.

          The rest of the film is just … talking. Well-acted talking, well-written talking, but talking.

          I liked Oppenheimer. Wasn’t wowed.

            Where were y’all like a week ago when everyone was calling this the greatest movie of all time? Well I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought it was just an okay movie!
