    This just isn’t true. The vast majority of the movie is people talking in rooms. There is nothing really added by the big screen. I wish I had just waited to stream it.

      Totally agree with this. The much hyped “nuclear explosion without CGI” looked like a run of the mill action film car bomb. I mean it was a good looking explosion. It just wasn’t wow.

      The rest of the film is just … talking. Well-acted talking, well-written talking, but talking.

      I liked Oppenheimer. Wasn’t wowed.

        Where were y’all like a week ago when everyone was calling this the greatest movie of all time? Well I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought it was just an okay movie!

        Yeah, the hype of the visuals really let me down. They built it up and then it just felt very flat.

        I even found myself agreeing with Truman, of all people. Get that crybaby out of there.

      It’s true for me.

      The entire build-up to the Trinity test, the explosion and then the shockwave was awesome on a 50 foot tall IMAX screen. It wouldn’t have been the same just watching it at home.
