I FINALLY watched Christopher Nolan's astounding OPPENHEIMER over two nights [including ALL the bonus features the second night] and can concur with film critic Richard Roeper of the Chicago Times: "One of the best movies of the century!"
Universal's 3 disc set includes the film on one BD100 disc in spectacular Native UHD4K and the 1080p BD~V on disc two and special features which are ample on Disc 3 [1080p].
OPPENHEIMER was shot on IMAX film and one special feature outlined how Nolan had persuaded Kodak to 'invent' 65mm Black and White film stock which had never been used before for Oppenheimer's Black and White sequences.
And who knew that the resolution of an IMAX 65mm negative is equivalent to 18K!!!!!!!!
And for once, the Academy rightfully honored both director Nolan and his 'baby' as both best director and best film of 2023! And Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey, Jr as BEST ACTOR and BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR respectively.
Surprisingly, the film was released in DTS~HD MA 5.1 and NOT Atmos but rest assured, the 5.1 soundtrack is REFERENCE!
KUDOS to ALL involved and be sure to watch ALL the extras included on Disc 3 including an extensive documentary entitled "Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb!" Absolutely fascinating!
And the film is so intensely involving, the 3 hour runtime breezes by buoyed by an amazing script and stellar performances by ALL involved!
