Oppenheimer

I can’t remember when I’ve see such an amazing well put together film with a story line that was perfectly executed!

If you are a non-attentive viewer this film is NOT for you. You’ll need you brain fully in gear. The pace of this film will test you ability not only to stay along, but keep up with the highly technological subject matter of the story line. Not only does it fire dialogue packed with information the jumps back and forth in time will keep you on your toes throughout the 3 hour run time.

There are visual clues to guide the viewer through these times but again you'll have to get to grips with these quite quickly. This relentlessness helps to express the urgency with which the US attacked it's chase for the atomic bomb before Germany could do the same.

The cast is also AMAZING with Cillian Murphy delivering the performance of his carrer as Oppenheimer, essentially becoming him, and pretty much securing himself an Oscar nomination for best lead actor! Robert Downey Junior also gives one of his best performances, reminding us all that despite 10 years as Iron man, he can still act.

Overall an essential viewing experience about historic events that still remains very relevant to this day!

The story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.
