Unfortunately I'm in the minority on Oppie. It did literally nothing for me--other than frustrate and bore me, I'm sorry to say. I was even disappointed technically: I went all-out and saw it at one of the 15-perf, 70mm, true-IMAX theaters, and it just did NOT look very special to me. I ended up leaving about 90 minutes in. Perhaps being familiar with Oppenheimer's story didn't help? A big swing, and a big miss for me.

Im the exact opposite, even on the second watch I was thrilled, and didn't even see in imax. Personally really liked how the movie built tension, even while most of it is dialogue.
