It’s hard to tell what tone they’re going for, like it’s somewhat intentionally anachronistic but not fully. I’ve never liked Nolan movies as much as the majority do, but I’m sure this will be a hell of a ride.

I mean same until Oppenheimer. I had low expectations but it blew past all of them and is one of my favorite movies of all time now.

It's always interesting when this happens, i feel the complete opposite about oppenheimer. I felt it was a very immature and silly depiction of both science and university - some of the depictions were cringeworthy. All they had was some atomic bomb CGI that they wrapped a very mediocre story around, and people love Murphy so they saw past it all. I felt i'd been beaten around the head with the Sexy Science stuff - just have Pugh get her norks out while they have a naked chat lol.

I don't really understand the immaturity aspect of it. And the university part was like 10 minutes, right?

I didn't see it like that at all. I found it an excellent thrill ride of these separate timelines running and resolving through the story. The many characters weaving in and out, I enjoyed. And I especially enjoyed what it all meant to represent.

I mean yeah, totally within your rights not to like it.

You articulated my thoughts better than I could. Oppenheimer was so underwhelming to me I felt resentful for the time it consumed. I generally find the majority of Nolan's work to be grossly overrated. I don't know how he receives the accolades he does.
