The film world waited with bated breath to see what came next from playwright-directing couple Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig after their smash hit White Noise, but the time has finally come for their next project, Oppenheimer. Moving into the biopic space, Gerwig and Baumbach have created a gripping, compelling character piece about the man who headed the development of the atomic bomb, but would like you to know they have no opinion on its use. A performance-driven film headed by the likes of Ryan Gosling in the titular role and Margot Robbie as his troubled wife, Oppenheimer hopes to tell the story of the man who made the apocalypse ready to go whenever the powers at be feel like it, in a candy-coated shell for all to enjoy.

With a soundtrack album featuring the likes of Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Ice Spice, and a toy line set to captivate adult children the world over, Oppenheimer is set to be the event of the summer, but may still not be about a bomb bigger than The Flash.

How likely is this film to cause an international geopolitical incident?

You would be surprised!

Is this movie safe for families?

The film is rated PG-13 by the MPAA, meaning it should be fine for most, but very young children may be disturbed by realistic depictions of melting dolls. We recommend desensitizing your children through repeated showings of Terminator 2.

When will the movie be available for home streaming?

There’s no way Nolan makes this movie if Oppenheimer didn’t say that Bhagavad Gita quote

I live in DC and nowhere around me is playing the movie in 15/70, only 70mm (which I’m seeing on Thursday).

I’m going to NYC the weekend of Aug 11 and was excited to see I can already reserve tickets for 15/70 at AMC Lincoln Square but uh…



I guess a bad seat in 15/70 is better than no seat at all? Not sure if I should take something in the center in row 3 or one of the side seats halfway back.

Really want to see this in proper imax but all the good seats are taken even for showings 2 weeks from now. Might have to settle for regular 70mm or laser

Watched this earlier on a regular theater and the sound still kicked rear end despite not being ATMOS. The opening minute alone would put the rumbly bass scenes in Interstellar to shame.

Will re-watch it again on a better cinema later this week because the PQ was blurry and I missed out on a lot of dialogue due to the lovely center channel. The best one we have in my country is IMAX Laser and apparently it has white/black squares that show up in bright scenes. Is that normal and tolerable?

Edit: Looks like a screen shaker problem

Memento will always be his greatest movie, followed by The Prestige.

I found Dunkirk to be something that was less than the sum of its parts and that didn't end up hanging together as a great movie, and Tenet was a complete swing-and-a-miss. I'd be lying if my expectations weren't a bit down.

Dunkirk was fine but I know a lot of people didn't like the divided narrative. Tenet was also not well received but I thought it was alright. Nothing amazing but it was an interesting experiment.

Even with Matt Damon’s awkward performance and McConaughey screaming Murrrrpphhhhhh I absolutely loved Interstellar and I think about that movie so much. The music, the shots of the spacecraft spinning, the black hole - just an awesome movie experience.

Inception, Memento, The Dark Knight and The Prestige are also great.

I can’t get tickets to the 70mm version unless I want to sit front row, so I’m just gonna see it in regular IMAX. I’m hyped!

I’m a little concerned that I went with non-IMAX 70mm over IMAX with Laser for my first viewing due to missing out on the aspect ratio. :smith: People still talk about the opening scene of The Dark Knight in IMAX which I only saw in a regular theater. 😭

I don’t even remember the opening of TDK for IMAX I just remember the truck flip.

And then the whole theater going ape poo poo when Gordon pulls of the mask.

Oh right the bank robbery. Eh I mean that is a neat sequence but there’s no shot seared into my brain.

The first frame of the movie which took up the entire imax screen. I legit felt a sense vertigo. I’ve seen some imax documentaries but there was something unique and special about tdk.

Josh Lyman
May 24, 2009


I remember TDK opening scene IMAX version being released/leaked and I watched it so much before the movie came out on my 16:10 15.4” laptop 😂

I guess seeing Oppenheimer for the first time in 70mm isn’t the worst since most of the movie is shot in 2.40:1 anyway. And I’m seeing it at Lincoln Square in 15/70 in a few weeks. Will just have to hope the IMAX scenes still hit the second time around.

Did anyone not like Insomnia? I thought it was great and one of the early examples of what would be staples in Nolan's work.

I watched it after staying up all night and figured well why not. And it kinda ruled because unless I really was that tired the film started doing edits that evokes that almost shuttery feel you get when you haven’t slept. Everything feels fragmented

I saw it in a small cinema when it came out, I recall enjoying it, and I'be been meaning to rewatch it. But at least in the UK it's never TV, it's always totally unavailable on any streaming service, and the dvd/blurays are barely available at what's left of the dvd/bluray retailers. Most Brits probably haven't seen it....

Interstellar is a great movie. With a soundsystem that's turned up enough to shake your bones and render the dialogue audible it's incredible

Does anyone know how far along the nuke timeline this film goes. Just want to know if we going to get to see when Godzilla killed Oppenheimer in revenge for him nuking japan?

Seems like a good place to end the story IMO.

It doesn't show Japan getting nuked. Just them talking about it afterwards. The final hour is mostly wrapping up the snippets from the hearings shown throughout the first and second half.
