A flawless picture. Despite being almost 3 hours long it is an epic cinematic masterpiece. IMO the best sci-fi film ever made and I don’t say that lightly.

Christopher Nolan has always told big stories. Interstellar, Inception, Tenet all require time to sort out after you see them for the first time. Stories like these force us to think. Oppenheimer is no expectation. By now, we should know that it is in Nolan’s nature to drop us into the paradoxical. We enter the worlds of his characters, their existential struggles confound us but in the end Nolan seems to be asking us the same question - what would you do? None of his previous films asks this question more forcefully or effectively than Oppenheimer. One could argue that fact is more powerful than fiction. But there is a great dumpster fire of historical fiction films would say otherwise. In the end Oppenheimer delivers where others have failed and it gives us a moral compass of sorts but stops short of landing us on the moral high ground.
