What I wanna know is whether Oppenheimer is worth watching or not.
Oppenheimer/Barbie meme spam put me off both movies at the time but now I have recovered.
Oppenheimer wasn't worth watching, its more an artistic experiment like a Terence Malick film - no plot, no story, no sense of pacing or time, and overall not entertaining.
However there is an unrelated documentary about him made in the 80s that's fantastic - The day after trinity.
Thanks
Barbie is kinda lib and a bit shallow in it's feminism but it's also a lot of fun if you can get over that. I haven't watched Oppenheimer and don't care to.
The Oppenheimer plot is pretty self-aggrandizing and just fucking boring. The whole film is exposition through conversation and very slow paced. You would think with so much dialogue there’d be something noteworthy to chew on but there really isn’t.
It just feels like 3 hours of BS for a few moments of cinematography brilliance
I found Oppenheimer fairly underwhelming and a disappointing watch, oddly reminiscent of the mid-late 2000s Oscar bait movies. While I wouldn't say watching the film is a complete waste of time, as the cinematography and scene work is decent enough, Oppenheimer is not a movie I would ever spend the time watching again.
The overall message seemed fairly convoluted and confused as a film attempting to make a moral point, while simultaneously only providing surface level and disparate biographical information on Oppenheimer or the Manhattan Project. Ultimately, not a particularly interesting narrative film, and a lackluster at best informational film.
There were some cool shots.
It's fine tbh.
