This just isn’t true. The vast majority of the movie is people talking in rooms. There is nothing really added by the big screen. I wish I had just waited to stream it.

    Totally agree with this. The much hyped “nuclear explosion without CGI” looked like a run of the mill action film car bomb. I mean it was a good looking explosion. It just wasn’t wow.

    The rest of the film is just … talking. Well-acted talking, well-written talking, but talking.

    I liked Oppenheimer. Wasn’t wowed.

    It's true for me.

    The entire build-up to the Trinity test, the explosion and then the shockwave was awesome on a 50 foot tall IMAX screen. It wouldn't have been the same just watching it at home.
