\"\"<\/a>Say what you want about Christopher Nolan, but his sense of theatrics and spectacle works wonders in exploring the calculated creation of the Atomic bomb, as well as the life story of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Arguably one of the most destructive figures in world history, \u201cOppenheimer\u201d is simultaneously a biopic of Oppenheimer as well as a deep dive in to the development, and politics of the atomic bomb and how it changed the world drastically.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. appoints physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer and a team of scientists spend years developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their work comes to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witness the world’s first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.<\/p>\n

Director Nolan prefers an epic scope to the story of a scientist who created such a tool of mass destruction, and often times opts more to depict Oppenheimer more as a genius whose invention would prove a horrific weapon, rather than a sympathetic figure. Any plays towards empathy are often purely incidental, as much of \u201cOppenheimer\u201d centers on the man creating the weapon, and those around him that were either involved with aiding in the construction, or attempting to undercut his development. \u201cOppenheimer\u201d is a marvelous cinematic experience, but also one that delves in to the amorality of Manhattan Project. Like 2018\u2019s \u201cVice,\u201d director Nolan centers on a very divisive often controversial figure in world history that changed the course of humanity, whether we like it or not.<\/p>\n

Despite the alienating subject that \u201cOppenheimer\u201d focuses on, Nolan directs a powerful cast including Cillian Murphy, Florence Pough, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr. the latter of whom might very well see an Oscar nomination for his stirring supporting performance s Lewis Strauss, Oppenheimer\u2019s most ardent opponent during his rise to infamy. \u201cOppenheimer\u201d surely is film that warrants at least one sit through if not for Nolan\u2019s sheer skill behind the camera.<\/p>\n

Universal\u2019s Ultra HD package is a 3-disc set<\/strong> that includes the film alone in 4K on UHD and HD on Blu-ray; there\u2019s also a Blu-ray of special features. Those features include the seventy two minutes The Story of Our Time: The Making of Oppenheimer<\/strong>, a seven part documentary that beautifully chronicles the making of \u201cOppenheimer\u201d with a thorough and comprehensive look at the making of the movie, its development, shoot, and much more. The chapters includes \u201cNow I Am Become Death,\u201d \u201cThe Luminaries,\u201d \u201cThe Manhattan Project,\u201d \u201cThe Devil of the Details,\u201d \u201cWalking a Mile,\u201d \u201cCan You Hear the Music?\u201d and \u201cWe Can Perform This Miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Innovations in Film: 65MM Black and White Film in Oppenheimer<\/strong> is an eight minutes discussion on Physical film, its legacy and the benefits of its use within \u201cOppenheimer.\u201d Nolan has a well documented love for traditional film as opposed to digital. Meet the Press Q&A Panel<\/strong> is a thirty five minutes science-forward Q&A panel with director Nolan, who is joined by moderator Chuck Todd, author Kai Bird, Interstellar consultant, physicist and author Kip Thorn and physicist Carlo Rovelli. To End All War: Oppenheimer & The Atomic Bomb<\/strong> is a great eighty seven minutes newly produced documentary film from director Christopher Cassel.<\/p>\n

He delves into the basics of Oppenheimer’s life, the development of the atomic pan, the Los Alamos laboratory and project, Russia and other nation’s race to achieve their own destructive weapons, and oh so much more. It\u2019s just a wonderful and informative look in to history that just punctuates the film\u2019s message. Finally, there are fourteen minutes of trailers<\/strong> with a number of promotional trailers, a teaser, the IMAX exclusive trailer and more. Finally, there\u2019s also a Movies Everywhere Digital Code<\/strong> for consumers.<\/p>\n
