It looks like a lot of sci fi and I don’t watch much of that, so may have gone under my radar — but I enjoy a good director regardless of genre. Which one would you start with?Denis Villeneuve?
My grandmother worked on this project. She didn't know it until years later.For those interested in diving a little deeper into the Manhattan Project and the science behind building the bomb, this quick documentary was well done.

So, just pick any movie and watch it, I'd say. I've seen the first four and they're all amazingly good in my opinion. Dune is stunning for the sound and visuals, less for the story.
- Dune 8.0 (Hulu)
- Blade Runner 2049 8.0 (Fubo)
- Arrival 7.9 (Prime)
- Sicario 7.6 (tubi with ads)

Same here BB. I was a little disappointed to be honest. I feel like the film tried to tackle too much.Just got back (and went by myself per the what’s normal thread). It is an extremely important movie, and truly a cinematic achievement with incredible performances. Shoe in for nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay, not to mention a slew of other technical awards. All that said, Oppenheimer didn’t generate the emotional response that his other films have for me. Not sure why. In the end, I certainly recognized the greatness, but just didn’t feel it.
Agreed with both of these takes. The film felt bloated and overwrought. Plenty of awards to go around, especially for the cast, but it is probably the last Nolan movie I'd want to view more than once.Same here BB. I was a little disappointed to be honest.

I’d watch the Florence Pugh scenes more than once though! Big fan.
I’ve read that the order is 70mm IMAX > 70mm > IMAX. I didn’t retain why.So, imax or 70mm for the best viewing experience? 70mm imax is not available.
Yeah, I read the same information after posting. We've got tickets for Saturday.I’ve read that the order is 70mm IMAX > 70mm > IMAX. I didn’t retain why.So, imax or 70mm for the best viewing experience? 70mm imax is not available.

The Top 8 Best Ways To See Oppenheimer – And Why IMAX 1570 Is The Winner
As all self-respecting fans will know, in a week (from the date of publication) Oppenheimer will be hitting theaters.www.forbes.com
had lunch at Black Napkin on WednesdaySo weird that one of the 14 70mm IMAX theaters in the US is in Grand Rapids. I've got my ticket.
Dunkirk was spectacular in that theater - people were flinching and covering their heads in a 2D movie when the Stukas were diving.
You won’t find another poster on this board who likes the WW2 era more than I.
Dunkirk SUCKED.
Like Dune and Sicario . I love Emily blunt but her entire character/story had nothing to do with the plot/was 100% filler.
If you're going to see it, you might as well do it right...biggest screen and best sound available to you.Starting to wonder if I should just wait and watch this at home
Ignore the naysayersStarting to wonder if I should just wait and watch this at home
If you want the worst possible viewing experience, then yea, wait.Starting to wonder if I should just wait and watch this at home
It’s a great movie, I wouldn’t wait.Starting to wonder if I should just wait and watch this at home

This movie was made to be seen on the biggest screen / best sound possible.

I thought you were referring to Oppenheimer. I guess you were a referring to Sicario. Which is also weird because in Sicario she was a focal point of the movie. So really not sure how she was filler in either movie.So his wife has nothing to-do with his life story?I love Emily blunt but her entire character/story had nothing to do with the plot/was 100% filler.
I admit it’s been awhile but IIRC, wasn’t she just some random agent? Didn’t she hook up with a dude in a bar who tried to kill her?
Wife? Huh?
He must be confusing the movie or misremembering because saying Blunt is filler in Sicario is like saying Mel Gibson was a filler character in Lethal Weapon.I thought you were referring to Oppenheimer.

I am more confused than ever. Is Emily Blunt in Dunkirk?
So the person who the stories perspective is told from (i.e. how we get introduced to the CIA, the cartels, the secret mission, and how the CIA used the FBI conduct their covert mission) is somehow, not important to the story of the cartels, the secret mission, and how the CIA used the FBI to conduct a covert mission. Well that’s one way to view it I guess.He must be confusing the movie or misremembering because saying Blunt is filler in Sicario is like saying Mel Gibson was a filler character in Lethal Weapon.I thought you were referring to Oppenheimer.

It's fine if you disagree but Im not the least bit "confused" or "misremembering" anything. Its my opinion that her character did NOTHING for the story.
ETA - WERE STILL TALKING ABOUT SICARIO in case anybody is still having trouble keeping up.
Her storyline definitely didn’t move Dunkirk forward at all that I agreeI am more confused than ever. Is Emily Blunt in Dunkirk?
No.

I see what your saying. I thought that was kinda the point. They were just using her for her credentials, because they had to. She was just along for the ride.He must be confusing the movie or misremembering because saying Blunt is filler in Sicario is like saying Mel Gibson was a filler character in Lethal Weapon.I thought you were referring to Oppenheimer.

It’s a completely different movie without that. That’s the opposite of filler.I see what your saying. I thought that was kinda the point.
