As the title says; I watched both Oppenheimer and Barbie back to back with my friends today, so if you’re interested in what the experience was like or what happened in each movie or any questions really please ask away!
To me, I don’t think Oppenheimer is a movie that can be enjoyable just based on content alone. It’s a movie about the atomic bomb which is definitely not something that brings up good feelings.
Filmmaking wise it’s very good, I mean just the practical effects are something to praise. The acting is top notch, at least to me, and the symbolic clips of stars and, what I assume are atoms, were very nice.
I have a few issues with the movie, one of them being the duration. Three hours felt like too long and I think it could’ve been cut down. Some parts just dragged on while others felt rushed if that makes sense. In conclusion, this movie will win an Oscar, all war movies tend to.
