Oppenheimer was just okay-good. It felt much too rushed at times, much too slow at others, but always forced.
Though the acting was stellar, the movie itself was a long, jerky, scattered bio-pic that tried to do a little too much at the expense of being a great.
I left feeling too many important themes were just glossed and insufficiently explored for a movie of this magnitude.
Sometimes a movie tries to mention everything and ends up saying nothing.
But it's always cool to see physicists, scientists, and math legends (and their famous egos) get screen time. The star studded cast and their incredible performances was the saving grace, but even they could only do so much to save the awkward pacing and complex themes left on the table, barely touched.
