  Oppenheimer 2023

  Watched 21 Jul 2023

  I can only recommend the Barbie-Oppenheimer sequence. The transition from drama to comedy can be a little underwhelming. Speaking of underwhelming: I can't speak for the IMAX experience, but Oppenheimer didn't impress me visually. I also missed the more detailed discussion of the bombing of Japan and its consequences for the people there (it was only mentioned in passing). But Nolan did not disappoint with the soundtrack and the acoustic performance. In the end, I would rank Oppenheimer alongside Tenet and Dunkirk. Exciting and good, but not on a par with Nolan's stunning masterpieces like Interstellar or Inception.
