Oppenheimer

Remember when your grandpa would turn off your Saturday morning cartoons and put on historical war documentaries for nostalgic reasons? Well, had those documentaries looked like this historical film, I wouldn’t have cared that I had to miss reruns of Animaniacs (for the younger generation, Animaniacs was a cartoon on the WB, the WB was a tv channel, and tv channels were a series of broadcasted programs sent to your television owned by different network companies. There, I think we are all caught up. Back to the review.)

The movie follows J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy, during his life before, during and after the development of the atomic bomb.  It is extremely well made and managed to keep my attention throughout the 3 hour runtime. The sound is exquisite and the cast is top notch. This movie had more stars than an astronomy textbook. Again, for the younger crowd, a textbook is a book used to teach something, oh…and a book is a collection of written pages bound between a cover and a backing.

In the end, we’re giving this our “Go to the theater to see” rating. With its long run time and it being a depiction of history, it really is a one time watch. Therefore, if you’re going to invest your time in it just once, you might as well see it on the screen it was filmed in IMAX 70mm film for with high quality sound. It’s worth jumping in your covered wagon for. And again, for you youngins’, a covered wagon is a 1 horse powered vehicle we used before you youngsters got your fancy steam engine locomotives. Darn millennials with their steam engine locomotives. What’ll they come out with next??
