It’s an absorbing, imaginatively told story of the man who led the development of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. Robert J. Oppenheimer was a genius at physics, a fine organizer and leader, and maybe not such a great husband. The movie bursts at the seams with characters, and after my first viewing I make no claim to being able to keep them all straight. But the characters key to the story were easy enough to follow, as were their actions and motivations. Oppenheimer was a complicated, sometimes contradictory man, and the movie demonstrates all that with care and attention to detail. It’s the kind of movie that wins the best picture Oscar. I really enjoyed this movie.
The theater where I saw it has a great Dolby sound system and wow, just
wow.

Have you seen the 1980 version with Sam Waterson?

Nope. I’d naturally compare it to what I saw today and my hunch based on no
evidence whatsoever is that it would be lacking. Do you think otherwise?
