| TV/MOVIES/MUSIC "Oppenheimer" Anyone waded through this film?

[TerryP]

With so many "big name stars" in this movie any award is just Hollywood fellacio.

I started watching the movie last week: four or five days ago. I'm 1:22:21 into a 3:00:22 film.

BUT, it's not that bad of a movie.

(It took a few minutes for Peaky Blinders to hit...knew I knew him.)

 

[It Takes Eleven]

We plan to watch it, just haven't found the time. I did watch The Boys in the Boat last week. It was pretty good, although after reading the book I knew the movie would fall short. There's just not enough time to develop the characters, and not covering Rantz' childhood first you don't really develop the empathy for him that the book puts forth. They also compress the team's experience into one season and skip over their failures. A decent watch, though.

I have a friend that raves about it.. He was also impressed that it was filmed in Kodak 65mm

I watched it a couple of weeks ago I was a little underwhelmed.

I saw it in the theaters. It's really good -- yet so long -- but I could do without seeing Cillian Murphy in all his glory. I have not found the need/want to watch it again. I will this summer, I guess.

He was also a shell-shocked soldier in Dunkirk.

Dunkirk.

I've been meaning to watch that...good reminder.

Dunkirk is a good movie, much better than Oppenheimer anyway…

1917 is much better than both…

Agree

It’s a fantastic movie

If you like history, and want to know more detail on how the atomic bombs were developed, you’ll enjoy the movie. There are a lot of “big” stars who have little roles. It’s a long movie, but worth it.

Chasing a trophy.

I suspect we'll see quite a few nominations of the film due to so many "name" stars.

If any of you guys have not seen the Wolf of Wall Street, it’s a must see!
