Oppenheimer
Normally, this would be a dull routine documentary type film about a physicist who built the first atom bomb. However, Christopher Nolan’s brilliant talent tells J. Robert Oppenheimer’s story as only Nolan could. On large format film, without CGI, an all star cast, building suspense & intriguing details. Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, & Robert Downey Jr give outstanding performances. Rounding out the superb supporting cast includes Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malik, & Kenneth Branagh. Oppenheimer was a brilliant theoretical physicist, the father of the atom bomb, the genius behind the arms race for the biggest weapon of mass destruction, a suspected communist, & a womanizer. See how this all plays out in this 3 hour long film.
Alien gives it 3½ “Destroyer of the Worlds” stars out of 4.
