REVIEW: Oppenheimer ★★★★

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it. 

This film is a MUST WATCH! If not for the historical significance it has then for the amazing artwork this film turned out to be. Now prepare yourself because it is a good three hours long and perhaps they could have shaved off 20 minutes. It will definitely keep your attention with all the cameos that happen throughout the film. It will have you saying, ‘Wait, is that?’. Nolan has Oscar winners making cameos in this flick which shows the power this director and film had, that so many wanted to be a part of the project.

There are some parts that are very intense and it showcases the fact that those with the strongest opinions get crucified where its politically or in life in general. You have to carry the weight and live with the burden of your actions. You can sense the emotion and remorse that Oppenheimer felts for creating an this thing that would ultimately change the world. This is an exceptional form of storytelling with a great cast and amazing shots throughout the whole movie. Obviously the directing and script could not have been better for what it was to portray the story of Oppenheimer.
