Oppenheimer is much an intellectual exercise than a movie. For, those who are brain surgeons might need a class in physics to fully comprehend this film. Please don’t get me wrong the film is beautifully made and the character development of Oppenheimer is fully explored, it’s just that much more entertainment value could have been enjoyed with images rather than intellect. Director Nolan did a phenomenal job formulating all the pieces to make Oppenheimer it’s just that there was way too much dialogue and often the less heard the more that is actually scene. With those flaws noted “Oppenheimer” should be seen by the masses but warning read a physics book in advance.
FOOTNOTE- Oppenheimer receives *** stars partially as a result of the intellectual bomb called “Barbie” I saw earlier in the week.
