I liked it but the politics are lib and the Robert Downey jr. plot is boring and pointless. Would have been way more interesting if it had focused on where the uranium came from and what happened to the people who got nuked. Even the brief “nuclear horror” scene is nothing compared with a truly disturbing film like Threads.
I think the fundamental problem is that the movie is about Oppenheimer, not the bomb. The only scenes he isn't in are basically the RDJ ones, he's in every other one. I don't know if he ever visited Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but he definitely didn't right after the bombs were dropped. They definitely needed to show more of the evils he was complicit in, rather than just making him a tortured genius.
