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.
This one is a little bit tough to review. I am a HUGE fan of Christopher Nolan. This movie is the type of movie that you know you are watching excellent direction, excellent acting and excellent storytelling but it just didn't fully hook me. Like from a film making point of view it's amazing. But from an entertaining point of view . . . . ehhhhhhhhh. And you very much feel all three hours of it.
I would still recommend that people check it out because it is a very well made movie but you definitely feel how long this movie is.
