I saw Oppenheimer, it wasn't what I expected (jemmy.jeena.net)

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.

Saw it (70mm though) and was surprised how great it was, but I saw a lot of people complaining after and during intermission that it wasn’t what they expected.

I’m currently reading American Prometheus, which is the book it’s based on, and it is very much like the movie.

If you don’t understand American politics, which many (where I live) doesn’t, it is very hard to follow and understand.

Looking forward to finishing the book and rewatching it when it’s released digitally.

I definitely understand why it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and not a traditional Nolan film.

There was an intermission? I didn’t get an intermission! I just held my bladder the entire 3 hours.

When showing in 70mm there’s an intermission to change film reel. It’s old school when it isn’t digital.
