I watched Openheimer in a IMAX movie theater today, it was not bad I liked it, especially the cinemography.

But somehow - probably because I didn't do enough research before going - I was expecting a lot of nerdy physics science like in the Martian, but it was mostly politics.

Nolan picked politics because that seemed to be the more compelling story with the more compelling subject.

If you wanted a movie specifically about making the bomb, it probably would have been better to choose Leslie Groves as the POV character because he would be in the rooms where the logistical hurdles of the program were being solved. However, the movie would have had a fat different tone.
