Awful. Nolan is LOST. 2 hours and 40 minutes of meaningless dialogue, abrupt cutaways, nameless, empty characters and 20 minutes of real movie making/story telling. Robert Oppenheimer is an interesting, impactful figure in history, but clearly not worthy of a movie about his life if this is what we get. I cannot believe a master like Nolan can take such a juicy subject and turn it into the most tedious endurance tests one will ever face in a movie theatre. If you're interested in the Manhattan project you'll get a glimpse of it. If you're interested in seeing a two and a half hour interrogation into whether or not Robert Oppenheimer had communist ties whooo boy are you in for a treat. Cillian Murphy was fine. Nolan needs to find himself ASAP.

Big George Foreman
(2023)
Big George, This Is Your Life
28 April 2023
This movie covers George Foreman's life from his childhood to regaining the world heavyweight championship later in life. Foreman has had a pretty incredible life, which is why it's difficult to cover it in a two hour movie. Many seminal moments and important people in his life (besides his mother and boxing coach) seem a bit like a blur as we hurry from one important event to the next. For what it is, it's a pretty enjoyable movie with a strong performance, if a bit one dimensional, from the lead actor Khris Davis. Although brief, the boxing sequences were well done and intense. Not a fan of these bio-pics stylistically, but this is one of the better attempts to cover a rollercoaster of a life.
