Oppenheimer

The story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.

Not having seen him in any of the trailers, it took me a solid 5 minutes to realize how large of a part Robert Downey Jr was going to have in the story, and I think we’re all a little better that they didn’t lean on him in the marketing. “Oppenheimer” the film is a mostly true story of how the Manhattan project was conceived and run with a large part of the scientific and practical testing happening under J. Robert Oppenheimer’s direct watch and control. It’s also a movie by Christopher Nolan, so the story isn’t going to be linier or make sense until you have all the pieces on the board, and even then you’ll want to hit up the Wikipedia entry for Oppenheimer the man to figure out exactly what was happening in Oppenheimer the film. It’s a great film with muddled sound mixing coupled with soul wrenching acting about a man that lived his life the way he wanted to with little regard for the long term political fallout of his personal behavior.

It’s good and worthy of a movie theater experience, but it’ll be best to watch at home with subtitles on because Nolan still hasn’t figured out how to properly use that center channel.

    Secret Invasion

    Fury and Talos try to stop the Skrulls who have infiltrated the highest spheres of the Marvel Universe.

    “A six hour mini series that should have been a two hour movie” is how I’m seeing it described on the blogosphere and I agree, there’s way too much padding, too little story, and some of the action beats just didn’t make sense to me. There’s also some really open questions about who was a skrull and when they were switched out, questions that were not answered by the end of the series and will likely never be touched on by the future movies, The Marvels is out in just a few months but I’m sure they’re not going to talk about the millions of Skrulls on Earth.

    It was nice to see everyone doing their parts though, I have no complaints about the acting or actors themselves, but the plot (and the obligatory 3rd act CGI slugfest) was mediocre and could have, SHOULD HAVE, been better.

    Barbie

    Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and her existence.

    Have you seen the first LEGO movie from 2014 yet? Or how about it’s sequel in 2019? If you’ve seen either of those, this will be a slightly less subtle version of those stories about a toy leaving it’s realm to find itself but being betrayed by a loved one while a nefarious Will Ferrell lurks about doing nefarious things that end up not being all that nefarious but are still somewhat concerning. I don’t necessarily have the vocabulary to positively say this is a polemic and performative woke story without sounding like I’m wearing a red cap, but it is what it is and I do believe that this type of material that knows what the current situation is, has a progressive opinion about it, and bangs you over the head with the message is truly needed.

    I just wish I could get into the music a little more, but from my understanding I’m in the vast minority there, maybe you’ll have a better musical appreciation than I did. I was pretty happy with the poppy stuff in the first quarter of the film, but from there it just kind fizzled out.
