Christopher Nolan provides a vivid account of Robert Oppenheimer’s Life as “the Father of the Atomic Bomb. The movie dives right in. There is no slow build up. The movie is based on the 2005 biography written by Kai Bird. The story tracks Oppenheimer across decades starting around the 1920’s and goes on until Oppenheimer has gray hair. 

The movie is heavy, very dialoged, but very well executed. Its event filled and full of intrigue and suspense. The story goes back and forth between black and white and color. Science and history come together nicely in Oppenheimer. You will get a full glimpse of the Manhattan Project. The 3 Hour running time is long, but you get enough in the 3 hours to have a decent understanding of Oppenheimer’s Life, the people he worked with and the Manhattan Project. 

If you are a fan of science and history, you should see “Oppenheimer”.

This is a 4 Star Movie!!
