I saw Oppenheimer in the theater. It was full of people. When it all went silent at 1:02, I thought someone would be eating chips, drinking cola, talking or whatever. Well, I was very surprised when the entire audience fell into the utter silence for like a minute. Everybody was just amazed by the beautiful shots of the explosion.

Nolan knows damn well it looks like a giant gas bomb, that was intended to ensure the story and events that took place were front and center, not the blast itself. I mean seriously, we already knew what true nuclear detonations look like. The disappointment is on the audience, not Nolan. We went into this expecting fancy CG explosion, despite the fact Nolan made it clear for months that this was 100% practical and not intended to be a fancy looking shot. The focus is on Oppenheimer and the events that took place. It's about the people, not the bomb. Besides, would it really have made that much of a difference?..

I’m sure you don’t mean this, but one could infer from your reasoning that he intentionally made it look bad to focus more on the story. I don’t think the intention was for it to look bad. They’ve tried to edit it so it doesn’t look as bad as it does, but you can’t paper over this 😂 It looks awful. Like instead of using real Spitfires in Dunkirk they just hung Airfix models off wires and went “Neeeeoooowww!” Like some sort of bad Thunderbirds episode. “It’s not about the Spitfires, it’s about the story!!” And I know they did use some models in Dunkirk, but it doesn’t look bad. Not like this. I think whatever the focus of the movie is, you have a responsibility to make stuff look realistic, and this fails in that regard. In fact, I think it does detract from the story. Part of it is his inner conflict about making something so terrifying. But all this shows is that he’s overseen the creation of a gasoline bomb. I’d be like “Don’t fret about it Rob, it’s not that bad! Cheer up!”

The silence is actually really disturbing hearing nothing but breathing and a distant hum. It shows how messed up these bombs really are

It's definitely weak, but that's intentional. Nolan knew this going into it. He did not want CGI. He wanted it to be as "real" as possible because the movie itself is supposed to be based as close as possible to the reality of it all. Also, this was a surface detonation. Most movies and pictures are based off of air bursts where the shot detonates a few thousand feet above the surface. Nolan intentionally made the explosion this way so that people would focus on the events that took place. The movie is about OPPENHEIMER, not the bomb itself.

I legit think this is so mid. You can clearly see that the explosion is small, you can see the trelice of the house the bomb where built in. In real life, in the photo they took picoseconds after the explosion you can see that house were already engolfed in a ball of plasma as hot as the sun's core. But here we get a slow motion shot of 5 barrels of gasoline exploding. When the slow mo guys do a slow motion explosion it looks more menacing than this. The editing too is questionable, the lights flicker strangely and the scale of the whole thing is so small... I think that if Nolan wanted to do only practical, he shouldve honestly just shown a bright light and the reactions of the characters. Like, an uninterrupted shot of Cilliian, than reset and another character, then reset and another character, and so on. Or recreated it in CG, with new perspectives, abstract shots of the quantum reaction, splicing it with the real test footage or something.

This was mesmerising to watch in IMAX. The deafening silence of the explosion followed by the gargantuan sound of the explosion. Simply amazing.

The most terrifying and beautiful thing humans have ever created.

Watching this back, this was the smallest most underwhelming bullish excuse for an atomic bomb explosion anyone has ever seen. I mean seriously the actual explosion is beyond miserable.

If you did'nt notice at 1:07 you can see a wooden plank beeing trown away by the explosion which just betrays the real size of the explosion. Thats a shame given the fact that's the real detonation made a Mushroom cloud the size of the mount Everest. Saying that's i'm disappointed with this scene is an understatment.
