Unpopular Opinion but I found Oppenheimer boring or rather very underwhelming.
Pros -- The movie is great in technical and acting departments. With so much talent involved, it's hard to screw up these two areas.
In addition to Cillian Murphy, chef's kiss performance of Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.
However, the movie itself had cut after cut after cut scenes. It was as if the movie was trying to cover all bullet points from Wikipedia page of the namesake.
It's disorienting and it's really hard to keep track of revolving characters.
You meet a person and 10 seconds later, you are getting intimate. No character development at all.
If I didn't have enough background about this subject (Veritasium's Youtube video was excellent in this regard), I would have been really lost.
The big explosion was...underwhelming...
There are several key moments in this historical non-fiction which are on screen but if you blink, you miss it.
All that being said, even if you know all about the underlying subject, it's always good to see it visually.
That being the notion, I wish this movie didn't have the unnecessary full frontal nudity. It didn't add anything to the plot line.
If not for 'R' rating, I would have taken my young daughters to the theater.
Damn, what a disappointment. I was so excited to see this movie for so long.
