From the reviews I've read, it's mostly talking in various rooms, doesn't sound like the big screen adds much. picture quality, and audio were quite noticeable in the cinema I visited. I would happily have watched in my living room though. There are, as you can imagine in a film about Bomb(s), some big boom/bang noises kicking around in the film. I do like a big screen, but I'd rather have been front and centre, and not surrounded by strangers with weak bladders. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few wide location shots, a couple of explosions and a couple of scenes of Florence Pugh if she's your cup of tea, but none of the big set pieces Nolan is known for. Think it would be just as intense in your own living room if you can avoid getting distracted/interrupted for 3 hours. Has Nolan said anything about watching this in cinemas? I know he threw a hissy over Tenet. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubbs Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Oppenheimer. Wow. Left me speechless in parts. Personally, I think it's probably best to watch it at the cinema to get a real feel for it. 9.5/10 ImARam2 and Grumpy Git 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 If you’re going to the cinema, and you’re letting your partner choose the film, you could do a lot worse than Barbie. I’d have chosen Oppenheimer or MI, but I quite enjoyed the comedy of Barb. Couldnt really tell where it was going even in the final act, but that’s ok as the story wasn’t the main part. That would be bad for most films! Anag Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImARam2 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Oppenheimer should get an Oscar for best picture, as well as best actor for Cillian Murphy, however, as the American audiences can't watch anything without explosions, fights or car chases, nor any film over 90 minutes long, then probably not, as this film was superb. The dialogue, intrigue and politics was just amazing which I was enthralled with from the start to the end, without once wanting to get up to go to the lavatory.

Really strange, because it felt slow as you watched, with no rush to tell the story. Yet somehow at the end it didnt feel like 3 hours. Didn't expect it be quite SO focussed on Oppenheimer rather than any of the bigger picture of War/bomb detonation. But it worked. Gripping and thoughtful. Not a film I'd be watching again any time soon but quality just dripped out of it. Eg the 2 or 3 minute scene where he met Oldman/Truman did so much with so little. 8.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of an Oscar winning movie that's was full of car chases and fights. Most best movie awards tend to go to more arty/cerebral productions.

Hackman at his bristling and brutal best. Both classics in my view, in a genre that does not typically age well. Gee SCREAMER !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Asteroid City Typical Wes Anderson film. Weird, funny, colourful, great set designs, a little self indulgent. If you like his films you'll like it, if you don't you won't. Entertaining but a little style over substance. Kinkladze out of 10 Rample 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the strangest films I've ever seen, with a film within a play within something else. Bryan Cranston the on screen narrator. Probably a work of genius, but sometimes baffling. If you don't go to sleep, you can't wake up? Might just sweep all the Oscars? Georgi Kinkladze/10 24 minutes ago, sage said: Asteroid City Typical Wes Anderson film.
