Matt Damon as a fatter version of himself, playing a general with jokes. Totally unconvincing. Just doesn't have the gravitas to play a military general. Miscasting.

No sympathetic characters in the entire movie. No one that's really likable. Except for Albert Einstein, who has may be a total of five minutes of screen time. All the other characters are dull, one dimensional, greedy, self interested, authoritarian. Such a bleak view of humanity.

The Oppenheimer scenes of madness borrowed way too much from A Beautiful Mind, which is a much better movie than this is.

The worst part - what was the whole point of this movie? Three hours of dogmatic, professorial, authoritarian white people topping each other with their arguments and their insights. Who cares? Hat the movie was about Oppenheimer losing his security clearance and what a pivotal moment in history that is. Again, who cares? It's simply doesn't matter and it certainly doesn't justify three hour movie.

Also, what is the point of all of that grating, heightened music and sound effect? Every moment isn't climactic. Yet the music would have you believe something as simple as Oppenheimer putting on a hat and picking up his smoking pipe is something to key in on. Who cares?

I learned a few things. I can't trust IMDb ratings. This was not an 8.8 movie. This is may be a 4.5 at best. There just wasn't any point to this movie. There was no substance, and the style was mediocre at best.

The other thing that I learned- Christopher Nolan ain't got it anymore. Momento was very good. The Batman trilogy, especially part one and two, was excellent. Inception was top notch. But that was over 10 years ago. I haven't seen interstellar, but it might be the last good movie he's made. His use of the beehive Sound effect at the beginning of the dark night was superb. But it's been copied and overdone by just about every action thriller out there. And he's overdone it himself and all of his movies sense. I just hate that he needed to use it every other minute during Oppenheimer. What a waste of time. But it is very hot right now, and I did get three hours plus of air conditioning at the theater. I guess that's something. Paying for three hours of air conditioning in a theater.
