The pacing of this film is utterly terrible. I could not believe it. For a ponderous protagonist who needs to "hear the music" and smell the roses in order to think, Christopher Nolan does not offer this luxury to the audience, were are barraged with an unintelligible uncomfortable narrative, flying at the constant pace of an Ocean's Eleven hiest scene; we are pelted with infinite cameos (everyone is in this film) rock and roll scientific revelations happening every few scenes (because of the frequency, each one feeling more meaningless than the next) everbody quips and there is a cut to a new scene every 7 seconds: cameo, quips, revelations, cut, famous qoute, cameo, lecture, quips, cut, 1940's iconography, cameo, cut, physics, war, cut, cameo, revelation, quips, cut. Nonsense.

I've never seen so many cuts in a film before going at one constant blistering pace, it makes you feel sick. I was an hour in thinking this a form of torture, and there are two hours left. Every new character is presented in that 'matter of fact' way, like in the style of Wes Anderson, like they are props in a vignette, however in Oppenheimer it's happening every 30 seconds.

Christoper Nolan seems to think intelligent people quip really fast and all the time. Women are either psychotically aloof, kinky for intelligence or Schizophrenic, which also would be the perfect way to descibe this film.

The script is again like Hollywood gave 100 million dollars to a 22 year old Yale date-rapist, who's only seen three films; Ocean's Thirteen and two Bond movies, and asked him to write and direct a blockbuster revolving around the history of quantum physics, all while being perilously addicted to cocaine.

The most hilarious scene in the film involves Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy with first mention of Oppenheimer's famous paraphrase of the Bhagavad-Gita "I am the destroyer[...]" etc. The scene is concieved of the most frat-boy 'whoa bro, this is so cool' logic you will every see to dramatise the life of a prominent physicist. I say dramatise, there is no drama or stakes in this film, again it's the pacing, nothing in this film carries any wieght.

This film is not recommended for anyone with an anxiety disorder, vertigo, pregnancy (this film may harm the brain of a developing feotus) actually...let's just leave it at THIS FILM IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

I generously gave 2/10 stars. As even when your crazy toddler draws you a scribbled mess of a garbage picture, it still ends up on the fridge.
