With the intense hype leading up to the release of Oppenheimer, it’s likely to either be Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus or one of the greatest disappointments in the history of film.
Writer-director Paul Schrader has hailed Oppenheimer as the best and most important film of this century. Early viewers have described it as deeply moving, with its powerful storytelling and impactful emotional moments leaving a lasting impression. Adding to the pre-release lore is Nolan’s assertion that no CGI was used for the film, despite the fact it contains an incredibly realistic recreation of the Trinity Test atomic bomb explosion.
