Got to see it in IMAX and Man I have to say that I'm just in awe of Christopher Nolan's storytelling. This movie had me at each and every second, not a single second went by where I felt that I was getting distracted or felt out of sync with the movie. And it's a pretty long movie, about 3 fucking hours. But those 3 hours went by so fast. This movie is much less about science, i mean it does have its fair share of science but the main focus is much more on drama, and politics. Also the main attention of the movie is Oppenheimer and you can definitely see it. Most of the movie is just him, we don't deviate a single second away from Oppenheimer in the movie. The first is geared more towards the discovery of the atomic bomb, journey of getting it done and the second half deals with the aftermath of the actions.The movie paints Oppenheimer as a really gray person. And the fact that the movie is about an atomic bomb and that's not even like the main centre of attention to the movie was just awesome. The main attention centre of the movie is the injustice of this world, governments and military and Oppenheimer's conscience. I just love movies or webseries with intense court scenes, it's one of my favorite genders in movies. Coming on to the acting of the cast, I mean hooof every actor saw their character and just fucking smashed it out of the park. Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, bruh Cillian just drowned in that role, not a single point where I felt like this was someone acting, it actually felt like he was Oppenheimer BUT this wasn't the real standout for me in the acting department. IT was RDJ who blew my mind with his acting as Andrew Strauss, bro he absolutely buried my expectations of him as an actor. I didn't feel like RDJ could be this intense of an actor cuz I haven't really seen him out of the MCU. but holy fuck man, I wouldn't be surprised if RDJ bags and Oscar for that role , it was that good. And ofc Rami Malek, mf had a 5 MINUTE ROLE and just changed the course of the whole movie like a chad. What a fucking impactful performance. And diving deeper into The message of this movie, it is true yes, Scientists are never respected enough for their work i mean just look at history. They are just used as mere tools for the government and then given awards as sort of pity by them for making themselves feel better in their own mind which was Beautifully quoted in that whole sequence of Einstein and Oppenheimer. and Also Oppenheimer just staring into oblivion thinking that he started a chain reaction that's gonna destroy this world was just priceless. Nolan's style of storytelling is breathtaking man, his way of communicating a story in a non-linear way and just putting different pieces together as the movie progresses is just beautiful. and the Score, oh God it was amazing. Ludwig did a great job All in all, I loved this move. It felt like true Cinema and I had a really nice experience of watching this in theatres with my friends :)
