That Nolan fella is good at movies!
Excellent. A little slow at beginning but then, wow. The whole middle part is at Los Alamos and is gripping re the process of building "the gadget". You know how it turns out but really builds the suspense.
What is extraordinary is the last third of the movie, what happens afterwards as O is targeted for his earlier associations with 30s Communist sympathizers and his own conflicted feelings about being "a destroyer of worlds"
Actors must love working w Nolan. There's a wealth of well-known, accomplished players in minor roles. And Robert Downing is just tremendous.
Go see it.

Great film. First two thirds of the movie leading up to the bomb test are absolutely riveting, the final hour switches gears a bit and becomes more of a legal drama so that is a bit jarring, but still good. Cilian Murphy deserves all the awards. Still amazed that Nolan took a very complex subject matter condensed it into a 3 hour movie that never loses you in technical jargon and made it an edge of your seat thriller. It's probably the most un-Nolan movie he's made thus far but still very much a Christopher Nolan movie.

Saw it in an IMAX. It was long and definitely loud. Barbie was playing next door and the overflow drifted into Oppenheimer. One of the stranger looking audiences I've ever been a part of.

I recently re-watched the excellent 1980 TV mini series 'Oppenheimer', starring a young Sam Waterman. It was 7 hours in total. I don't feel the need to watch another re-work of the film, and wonder how they will be able to condense it down to 3 hours.
