Oppenheimer

“A must-see in IMAX at soonest possible convenience. Truly a ride.”

“Even better than I could have hoped for? I read the translation Nolan based this on as a refresher and recommend that too. The casting was so fantastic. It was a thrill of a movie even with it being, you know The Odyssey. My hot take is that we need to make teenagers read the Odyssey again.”

“yeah. sorry. if you’ve been wondering if you have to see it on a big big super screen, yeah. you do. maybe one of the small imax sub types will do, but normal size cuts off about 35% of each shot. this is a big budget sweeping movie like the epics of the 60s, and you will be asking a lot of “how the hell did he do that” moviemaking questions. you will have fun. robert pattinson continues his generational run. the score is delicious. not “woke” as idiot grifters claim, whatever that means, but it’s liberal in a conservative way — hard to explain. something only the english could think up. it’s long but not boring. suck it up, get a big popcorn or sneak in a non odorous sandwich and have a ball. what the movies are all about.”

“Movie night for the hags at The Grove”

“Given the intentional departures from the source material, Nolan is definitely saying something interesting about our time. The dissolution of honor, the sacrilege of inhospitality and the cruelty of impotent power grabbers. About literacy and rebuilding culture when the world’s gone to hell. About personal surrender to the divine. It’s a deeply spiritual film to me (and, I reject some reviewers’ takes about the role of the gods and divinity in the film, tbh.) I’ve seen it twice this weekend, and truth be told, I’m not the biggest Nolan fan. But every once in a while he strikes a chord with me. This is one of those times.”

“It’s so obvious that it’s almost too obvious and that’s why it warrants recommendation. I felt that shit in my bones for all three hours and it’s still lingering there.”

“wow wow wow wow wow it's a great day to be a filmbro/nolanbro! our guy did not disappoint, the film astounds. and the sound design... my jaw was on the floor.”

“holy shit chris nolan really did his big one with this movie. well cast but somehow i wish it was all unknowns. SO GOOD. i know the end is different than the book it made me want to reread the book”

“best book i have ever read in my entire life”

“one of visual storytelling’s crown jewels, if not its crowning glory. the apotheosis of 21st century cinema. one of my life’s big regrets is not witnessing this greatness in 70mm imax. if you can, don’t rob yourself of this experience. nolan you have once again reclaimed your title as the greatest filmmaker of our time. and condolences to every culture warmongering keyboard warrior on x.com who participated in the chud backlash to this movie. elon and his merry band of racist reply bots can cry me a river💙”

“Best theater experience I’ve had this year. The music, the production, the performances. I want to see it again and again and again and again-”

“Circe scene alone makes this movie a masterpiece”
