Are you serious? Your exact words were, "This is Nolan's first film based on a true story." That is a false statement. Dunkirk actually happened. The fact that characters in the film were fictional doesn't change that fact or make "Oppenheimer" his first film based on a true story. Nearly every single biopic has fictional characters in it, often several real people combined into one character in the film, or scenes that were fictionalized. Ask Ron Howard about that.

Audiences want fresh stories like this, I’m convinced of that. The problem is that the industry has become convinced any film grossing less than $1 billion is a failure. This leaves little space for original stories, biopics, indies… and pretty much any project that isn’t guaranteed to be a mega-earner. I hope that incredible filmmakers like Christopher Nolan can lead the charge to reset cinema to the way it should be.

He is one of the few directors that hardly ever misses a movie. There is no bad in is whole catalog. Every his movie it's absolutely great, except for Insomnia and Tenet. So 9 movies of 11, which is very impressive

Oppenheimer was the first ever movie to let me sit at the end credits staring out in front ofmyself trying to let the movie sink in. It made me feel how serious trinity was and the creation of atomic bombs and their tremendous impact on modern day society

For me, "Dunkirk" was Nolan's first big foray into real world events. The movie shines a light on the divergence between story telling and film making that can periodically happen with some directors. Nolan has such an inclination and he seems to be leaning into it. In the case of "Dunkirk", it was a beautifully realized cinematic chronicle. Light on story. The use of IMAX for "Oppenheimer" tends to suggest the movie leans toward a cinematic chronicling.

They expected all the cheesy dude showing up to the girls house holding flowers in uniform before he leaves, the normandy beach stuff, getting a draft letter etc. type of scenes that are in every WW2 movie. Nolan plays with the concept of time in almost all of his films. Dunkirk was a WW2 movie done in his style with this idea. It showed multiple characters timelines all intersecting into 1 central event. Showing how ALL these people, civilian and soldier, all collaborated to leave their mark on time for the greater good. It was a WW2 movie done in his style of storytelling with his signature time play mechanic involved. It was ambitious. I like it for what it was but it's far from my favorite movie of his.

For the naysayers in the comments that say this is "just a biopic", the story of Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project is a story that deserves to be told and retold. It is a story that is of huge historical significance, and contains multiple parables and lessons that have great potential consequence for the future of humankind that a wider (and younger) audience needs to take to heart. My hope is that Nolan tells the story with fidelity and appropriate emotion, without overly relying on "artistic license".

Oppenheimer is currently rated an 8.9/10 by IMDB, and rated 94% by rotten tomatoes. I have not yet watched it myself but I am extremely excited to, as a Nolan fan. So it seems as if Mark was spot on with his estimate, and will likely place itself in the top ten list for IMDB

Considering Dunkirk did $500m, I'm going to guess this one has a worldwide gross of about $800m+. Because you have the combination of spectacle, having to see it on the big screen plus meaning and history which people are craving and this film will definitely bring out the older folks en masse to the cinemas. It will also probably nominated for 10+ Academy Awards. I mean there's literally no way this does not get nominated for Best director, Best Male lead, Best cinematography and best sound for starters. I say that having not seen it just trailers for it. What's cool about this is the studios will realize there's a massive audience for intelligent art if it's done well

Oppenheimer is the first movie in perhaps a decade, that I want to see in the cinema. I know a lot of people feel the same, so this might actually be a positive turning point for film making.

A century is a long time. That's a bold prediction with 77 years to go. That said, I'm really looking forward to this one. I love Murphy and I enjoy most Nolan films. Also looking forward to Napoleon once the Director's Cut is released because Scott Director's Curs are always spectacular.

You are absolutely spot on when its about the movies which are based on true achievements of humanity, rather than comic cartoon marvals, such movies like oppenheimer deserve much more respect and i hope nolan and the studio will make enough money to work on more projects, people need to support this movie.

Now I feel that I need to see it in IMAX. I think the biggest issue films are facing is that we are now used to watching movies in their homes. To be fair, that’s not nearly as good as a theater, but still way better than it was 20 years ago. Also, it’s way cheaper to get a large screen and surround sound for your home now.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Oppenheimer" in the theater. I was pulled in and kept in for the duration of the film, all while not going brain-dead. It is a gripping story that forces one to pay attention the whole time, while also giving a phenomenal visual experience. Outstanding.

Glad you brought up VR because that was my first thought. I think it will take time before things get ironed out but the potential is insane. Perhaps it will just be its own medium rather than completely taking over but I'm very excited to see what's to come in the future of story telling once true creative people have time to really explore it!

Why Oppenheimer will ‘save’ Hollywood. What a weird pedestal like thing to say.

I’m hyped. I’m glad you are delving into movie industry and film analysis in addition to your filmmaking content. A huge thumbs up on this new direction on your KZread.

The chain reaction being talked about in this video was actually somewhat of a miscalculation by Oppenheimer as it is almost impossible with the amount of space given to the bomb itself, many scientists had also written papers after the testing of the bomb to disprove the math Oppenheimer had done saying that there was a small chance to be self sustaining to cause a chain reaction.

This video actually made my cry. I have always struggle with feeling an overwhelming loneliness there are periods where it gets truly bad and I do have those bad thoughts but I know I have to keep going but I know it can get really hard. Trying to get through life not knowing your purpose is really hard and I genuinely do feel for anyone who is currently really struggling. Trust me things will get better and it is worth to be here to see all those wonderful moments no matter how many bad one come with. ❤️

Dude, I am so excited for this film. Nolan is in a league of his own. And I’ve always had so much respect for him that he still uses film exclusively. I can’t imagine the cost and logistics of it all.

WB didn’t drop Tenet on streaming the day it was in cinemas. He was mad about the fact that WB decided unilaterally to drop a bunch of films on streaming (which was a good amount of time after Tenet had its’ theatrical run) and theaters the same time without consulting the filmmakers(like Denis Villeneuve with Dune) Got my Oppenheimer IMAX 70MM tickets on lock opening night and I can’t wait.

I’ve watched the film 2 times already, including in laser IMAX! Going third time tomorrow. Loved every second of it, and can’t help but to think it’s such a fundamental piece of cinema art, probably the best film of 21 century as of today. Oppenheimer’s story and how masterfully Nolan told it, is really lager than life!

Funnily enough it was Interstellar that hit closest to meaningful art for me. I think the setting of the story matters less than the meaning the writer attaches to it. I've been through autobiographies and felt nothing, and have been through pure made up fantasy/sci-fi and have come away with a meaningful perspective change. It's a matter of someone caring about the art more than the money it will make them, and I think Nolan falls firmly into that category, even if he's had to make it work within systems that fight against those principles. Can't wait to see the film.

I watched interstellar 3 times in IMAX cinemas - it's my favourite film. I have tickets for opening day of Oppenheimer, very excited!

It was my privilege to work with Grahame, Phyllis, and the Shaw brothers when they flew IMAX cameras on the Space Shuttle. I worked in Payloads, so the nuts and bolts of how the crew took a shot went through me. One of my fondest memories was of Grahame calling me over the voice loops, and asking if we could get a horizon-to-horizon shot, either over Florida or the Caribbean. I moved heaven and earth to make it happen, and the crew got the shot. You can see it in the opening scene of Blue Planet. As a Marvel fan, I wanted something like the Infinity Stone saga to get to the big screen long before Marvel Phase I happened. What I DIDN'T want was for that franchise to suck all the air out of the room, to the detriment of being able to make wonderful "little" movies like Friedman's Sorcerer, or John Carpenter's Thing, or any of a number of great movies that don't have "people in tights". I have no faith that Oppenheimer can fix everything that wrong with Hollywood right now, but it's a good step in the right direction. As much as you're interested that it tells a real-life personal story, I'm interested in the fact that films like that can educate people on important subjects in a way that they just can't get in science or history class, or on cable channels that no longer teach history or science but pretend to.

Back in the early 1980's, Denver's Natural History Museum opened an IMAX theater. Some of the first films shown on its screen were "To Fly" and "Silent Sky." I was blown away by the majesty of what was captured by those incredible cameras. A few years later, I watched "Hail Columbia," "Speed," and "The Dream is Alive," all of which nudged me to become a mechanical engineer. I've had the immense honor to work on aerospace projects, and IMAX was a *huge* influence. I will now try to find "Blue Planet," even though I won't be able to see it in IMAX format, it's definitely worth a watch. Thank you for being a part of such beautiful artistry.

Im honestly glad the story of Oppenheimer finally gets told through film. He is really one of the most interesting and important figures in history cause really the Cold war and modern day geo politics are influenced by his creation.

i hardly ever go to the cinema, nearly never anything i actually want to see or care about seeing before it comes out on some kind of streaming service. I took myself off on my own to go see this on the Imax screen and id go again. What an interesting period of history and a story portrayed by such a great cast, it was a joy to watch and left me with some profound feelings.

I used to think that you couldn't meet or exceed the experience you get in a real theatre but when my friend invited me to try out their 83" LG C2 and Klipsch home theatre system, I honestly thought that it exceeded mainstream theatre in terms of image quality. The reduced viewing distance for the same image resolution and the quality of the contrast and black handling really brought out something that I hadn't experienced before. I had personally never enjoyed the 'group' experience of a theatre and don't believe it should always be part of a film so that was an added bonus. The only remaining factor was subsonics and how audio in the sub range should be 'felt', not heard. That was something very difficult to get right in a home theatre experience but somehow (not sure on their exact setup) they achieved that in the setup they had that day. It certainly seems that regular 2K/4K DCI movies are no longer reliant on projected/theatre release to experience them in reference quality. However just technically speaking, IMAX is a leap beyond that again, so i'll certainly be going to an IMAX theatre for Oppenheimer. On the story front, I can definitely see a move to more 'grounded' films, especially as we start to see generative content beginning to saturate that fantasy space at a much higher rate. Eventually, with too much of that saturation, audiences will begin to value the opposite more. But that 'opposite' must also be well done- so it'll rely on folks like Nolan and his team to set the bar on how real stories can be told well.

The viewing distance would allow much larger LEDs to be used and could certainly open a way to upgrade the technology used in large space viewings- allowing you to still take advantage of those large diameter subwoofers and speakers in expensive configurations.

This is an excellent exposure into the upcoming film as a cinematic experience that I now want for myself. When 'Oppenheimer' opens, I plan to actually 'go' to see it and I haven't been to a movie theater in over 18 years. Thank you for the inspiration!

I'm absolutely stoked to watch Oppenheimer. I've always been fascinated with WWII films and the overall history surrounding the science of the Atomic Era. The hype for this film is legitimate, but I think some of it is misplaced. What sets Oppenheimer apart is Christopher Nolan and what is going to save Hollywood is more filmmakers like him. Nolan's departure from Warner Bro. after Tennent is a display of his commitment to, not just making a film, but how a film is experienced. Hollywood needs more filmmakers like that - people who are unwilling to compromise their vision. Oppenheimer will be beautiful and introduce us to some elements of filming and IMAX that we haven't seen before. But Dunkirk was also shot in 65mm film (partially IMAX film) and, to an extent, followed real world events or at least respected practical limitations and accuracies of the Dunkirk evacuation. Dunkirk had a 157 day release window before digital release and is the highest grossing WWII film of all time. Only 25 theaters in North America will show Oppenheimer in 70mm. So most people are not going to see it in its most immersive format. Plus IMAX, though visually spectacular, lags behind Dolby Atmos in terms of audio immersion - 12 channels as opposed to 64. Not that Oppenheimer won't be a visual powerhouse, but all the technical and storytelling advancements of this film are nothing without the commitment and vision of Nolan.

I've never been to an IMAX theater, but I'm hoping this will be my first. I watched Fat Man and Little Boy in the past, and while it was decent, I think this will be a better retelling of that story lol.

When I first heard about this movie I thought that the movie will either start or finish with Oppenheimer voicing over the "Now I am become death" quote followed by silence and darkness and the bomb exploding.

I think it goes beyond Oppenheimer. For the first time since i don't remember when 3 big movies will be released by 3 big directors in the same year. Two long drama and one long sci-fi. They all feel like blockbuster movies with outstanding cinematography and outstanding directing. Oppenheimer, Dune Part 2 and Killers of the Flower Moon. I've not see that in a long long long time. Outside of sequels, marvel, reboots, prequels and DC most of the other movies released in the last 10-15 years or so are independent and or low budget with no marketing to push them. It's so strange to see this kind of quality being marketed and financed it's like travelling back in the 90ies.

I am incredibly hyped for this movie and can't wait to watch it, but I live in Japan and so far it's still up in the air whether this film will release here or not, fingers crossed it will !

I drove 3 hour to Indianapolis to watch Interstellar because it was the closest FILM IMAX theater to where I live. I think there were parts of the movie where in did not breathe for minutes it was so spectacular. It is sad that more film IMAX theaters do not show his (and Denis Villeneuve's) films. Some museums have them, but only show museum type movies.
