After Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk and Tenet, this is the first time coming out of a Nolan movie, not feeling amazed.
I expected a very different movie, maybe I avoided the trailers too much or they gave the wrong impression, but I was expecting a movie about the creation of the bomb and the emotional impact it made.
It would have a been a perfect ending to me, if it ended after the bombs dropped and the war ended. But then the movie continues for about an hour longer and it just didn't keep me interested all that much.
There were also a lot of unnecessary loud scenes that made me feel stressed in a way.
I didn't really care about the spy, if that's what happened then this is a great movie for history buffs but it made it feel like that was the most important thing in the movie and not the bomb itself.
Einstein felt like an MCU cameo and mentioning JFK made me expect a "JFK WILL RETURN" after the credits.
I still give it 4 stars cuz it's beautifully shot, seeing it in IMAX was amazing, the soundtrack is great, acting is good as ever and the story is interesting but it's overshadowed by the final hour that I couldn't really connect with.
