I full on sobbed in seat F12 of the IMAX theater at AMC Lincoln Square this morning.
This movie is an absolute masterwork in every sense, and the 70mm IMAX format made this a once-in-a-lifetime audio/visual experience that’s right up there with seeing U2 at Sphere.
I never feel more alive than when art is able to move me the way this does.
Chris Nolan undefeated.

Masterpiece.
"It's a door closing."
I haven't been able to get that small, throwaway line from Florence Pugh's character out of my head, because the brilliance of this film is in that inversion.
Perhaps the thing I love most about Oppenheimer is how Nolan spends so much of the film opening doors.
Doors that lead into and out of Oppenheimer's mind, forcing the audience to reckon with what he reckons with, compartmentalize what he has to compartmentalize, and due to…

If I have the time and means to see this movie in 70mm IMAX again, how am I supposed to to resist the urge to do so?
Pretty good film IMO.

Seeing this and 2001 back-to-back was...... something.
This movie still slaps hard. Seeing it in what I assume was a true IMAX format was one hell of an experience.
I'm still amazed at how anyone could say this isn't the best capekino by a country mile.
NOLAN PLEASE ANNOUNCE YOUR NEXT MOVIE SOON I NEED IT VERY MUCH.

I have to admit I liked but didn't love the first half (an inverse of my experience with Dune) and then Austin Butler came on-screen and took part in a monochrome gladiator match to destroy the remains of a rival house under a dying black star and from there...... it had me. I would do so many crimes for Denis if he asked me to.
The guy is on the heater of all heaters with Dune: Part Two and as…

Tom Cruise literally going to war to kill an algorithm. What more can you ask for from a movie in 2023?
This was amazing. Just amazing. Tom and McQuarrie are in absolute peak form in a film that, and I really can’t believe I’m saying this, manages to outdo Fallout every step of the way (minus the cinematography and general look which were amazing there and just really good here). These sequences are just flat out perfectly executed, operating under…

I for one would like to thank Mr. Tom Cruise for his commitment to making the sickest, most visceral and rad action movies purely for our enjoyment.
In a few years after we’ve been gifted two more “Mission” movies and a trip to space, he should then be added to Mt. Rushmore.
All else I can say movie-wise is that the planes go real fast in this one, there are a lot of big booms, and one of the great montages (set to The Who, great choice) in the history of film is put to the screen.
Movies!
