Rock solid review. A bit hard and on the wayside, but still putting it out there.

I think the movie is impressive in how it took the life of a very interesting man and turned it into something boring. Like, I didn’t even think that was possible beforehand.
I thought it was a 3.6, not great, not terrible
Setting up the entire movie's pacing and story around the legal aftermath & Strauss is what made it disappointing for me. It took too much away from the real-world implications of a nuclear weapon, an arms race, and the devastation it caused.
Overall, cutting out Strauss would have shaved ~30min at least and made the movie into a more cohesive & refined viewing experience.
Damn. So close to a perfect 5/7
Fuk u Oscars, The Streets have spoken!
Too long? A movie could've ended on Trinity test, and then fades out to black and a text about Oppy's legal procedural appears.
Basic biopic stuff, well-spent IMAX experience. lol
How's barbie when compared to Oppenheimer?
I hate the way Big Concrete Slab is always trying to put down independent film makers in favour of yet another Hollywood blockbuster. #SmashTheSystem #SmashTheSlab
This post was sandwiched between a bunch of posts from the SideOfTheRoad Community in my subscribed feed, so it was weirdly appropriate. Smashed cars, abandoned furniture, Oppenheimer reviews, random toilets ... all to be expected.
I feel like the current system is if they have not totally effed it up then its considered good and if they manage a halfway decent movie then its just the greatest.
Seems like a trusted source.
7/10 with rice.
Haven't even seen it and it has vibes of "this could have been a 90 minute TV special".
If I'm going to the theater, I'm going for a spectacle. Anything less than that can be streamed.
Disagree.
There's plenty of biopics out there - but this one really has some powerful moments, that benefit from the cinema.
It adds a bit of depth and gravitas.
I'm a bit scared that this is actually accurate and that going to the cinema might turn into a big disappointment...
