I saw Oppenheimer, it wasn't what I expected (jemmy.jeena.net)

I watched Openheimer in a IMAX movie theater today, it was not bad I liked it, especially the cinemography.

But somehow - probably because I didn't do enough research before going - I was expecting a lot of nerdy physics science like in the Martian, but it was mostly politics.

I've had it described as such to me and it stuck: the movie is called Oppenheimer not The Manhattan Project.

It's really funny to me how people who didn't like Oppenheimer and people who didn't like Barbie all said the same thing: it wasn't what I was expecting. Maybe they would have rather watched a movie about an atomic bomb destroying millions of dolls.

Yeah, if one would do a movie on the Manhattan Project they wouldnt omit important figures to that project like the Oppenheimer film did
