The Choc Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Anyone else seen this? Masterpiece. I think all of the best supporting actor nominees could be from this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I don't doubt it's great, but there was absolutely nothing about the trailers or advertising that made me want to see it. I'll probably get to it once it's on a streaming service eventually, but then again, I said that about Tenet too and haven't gotten around to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Its just a great movie. And its a movie where you can tell all the actors knew they were working with greatness and thus just acted the hell out of it. If some indie movie that 50 people see beat this for best picture then the Academy should just shut down. Every scene is just expertly acted, tense and propels the plot forward. Its phenomenal.

Jedigoat Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Man. RDJ is so well known as Ironman, even his other movies end up in the superhero thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Looking forward to seeing this at some point. Nolan is a really special filmmaker. 9 hours ago, Darth Krawlie said: I'll probably get to it once it's on a streaming service eventually, but then again, I said that about Tenet too and haven't gotten around to it I loved Tenet! Big fan of this and would really recommend you watch it. Very clever and rewards the second viewing seeing some parts a little differently.

Metropolis Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 My first hesitation with going to the theater to see this was what would the climax be. I figured it would be the bombings of Japan, but what i didn't know was how soon that was after the first test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed every one of Nolan’s films that I have seen, so I am sure it is extremely well made, if nothing else. The subject just doesn’t pull me into wanting to watch a movie about it. I’d be much more likely to read about it, though. The Manhattan project is quite fascinating from a scientific and engineering point of view. I am sure some of my own feelings about the movie are also just that I rarely watch movies anymore, too, and even less often in the theater. Given that, though, there are very few things being released or that have been releases in recent times that I feel like I am missing out by not seeing in one. I am glad to hear that it is doing well and that people like it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Wader Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I just got out of it and don’t really know how I feel about it yet. I feel like I missed a lot because I didn’t know that much about Oppenheimer’s background and had a lot of trouble figuring out what the hell was going on for about 80% of the thing. Buuuut I’m also feeling that way about the majority of movies or shows I’m watching these days so the more plausible answer is I’m just getting old and stupid, and seeing a three hour epic mid week at 7.30pm wasn’t the best way to go see this.

Yeah, I think that might not have been the best time of week to see it. Personally, I will wait until it is on video and see it at home. Any movie over 2.5 hours is too much for the theater anymore for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
