Oppenheimer - Every Christopher Nolan Movie Ranked & Recapped

[@QuestMode]

That final moment between Oppenheimer and Einstein pushed this movie into masterpiece territory for me. Exactly the type of magic that makes Nolan so special.

[@AdamTheHood]

Confused about Tim’s take on the final line being about AI. It literally shows afterwards how nuclear bombs are still being made.

[@bryant7369]

Nolan had pretty repeatedly confirmed that he sees A.I in a similar way

[@IainWhoCantSleep]

@@bryant7369 the message is literally about the chain reaction being the continued proliferation of nuclear and atomic weaponry

[@jaredrmyer]

The intent of the line is definitely about nuclear weaponry, but it can be applied to a lot of different things in an allegorical sense at the same time.

[@AdamTheHood]

@@jaredrmyer well yeah but you could say this about anything. There’s a read that the film is about Nolan creating superhero films, but that doesn’t mean the film is actually about that.

[@AdamTheHood]

@@bryant7369 the only interview I had seen of him mentioning AI was him saying that yes, AI could be dangerous and is currently at their Oppenheimer moment right now. But ultimately whenever AI is used for evil then it usually ends with the AI setting off a nuclear bomb. So he said that the issue of nuclear bombs is a singular issue.

[@zdgro]

Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, Oppenheimer has been a legendary run for Nolan and Hoytema. I hope they keep up this historical drama / sci-fi back and forth for years to come. (Yes I am a Tenet enjoyer) Nick's understanding of the cold war and the USSR is comically American.

[@blairsnyder1067]

He also wrote this movie in the 1st person which most actors said hasn’t been done before

[@justintlme8763]

I also wanna know why Tim thinks the end is about AI?! It’s literally about the arms race, and a possible future where we destroy the world through all out nuclear war.

[@jojy43568]

Its an actual conspired theory that she didn’t kill herself but was killed. It was a great addition to the movie

[@Gnarkill60]

putting this movie at 7 is crazy, this movie will probably outlast most nolan movies besides the dark knight

[@zaneplatt3533]

I would put Inception and The Dark Knight above it. It is equal to Interstellar at 3 for me. Was entranced by the movie and loved that it allowed the events and people to remain complicated. Everything with Jean and much of the opening half an hour or so didn't really add much and just felt like it was there to be accurate to history rather than because it was particularly interesting or well massaged into the rest of the story being told

[@nikig2382]

@@zaneplatt3533The movie is called Oppenheimer for a reason. Without the beginning part it wouldn’t be a proper biopic. If it was just supposed to be about the bomb, the title would have reflected that. But it didn’t, so it was necessary to see the man before he became involved with the Manhattan Project, and it worked as well as any biopic’s backstory. What’s “interesting” differs from person to person, so the only thing that matters is what needs to be there, and this part did.

[@MikeSpangler5]

“This is a masterpiece”. But it’s below Tenet. What?

[@petrasbirthdaygoblinhoney4565]

Yeah that also confused me, Tenet is one of his weakest movies imo

[@furrybproductions]

You know it's a Christopher Nolan film when you hear the "BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" 🤣

[@tjrage6168]

More like BWHAAAAA

[@Rockerfella360]

I was getting some major MGS: Ground Zeroes vibes when they were in the desert in their rain ponchos before the bomb goes off and Oppenheimer is walking around looking straight up like Skull Face

[@TheRealGarate]

A heads up for anybody that likes to watch these as they come out, for most movies this summer, AMC has had early screenings usually the Monday the week that movie releases or at least two days early. Its a good way to be able to catch In Reviews live(when they are) or as soon as they go up like this one. Not sure if this is something theyre doing for movies now or just a test this summer but as someone whose "weekend" is in the beginning of the week, this is excellent. Watching TMNT on July 31st instead of Aug 2nd because of this

[@VooDooChild6971]

There were so many kids in my theater for this. It was so weird but also kind of great to see people of all ages taking an interest in it.

[@TheHan464646]

Either doing it for the meme, but i think it's important for everyone to learn from this movie as a cautionary tale..

[@jeremiahmoore6502]

The KF lists are supremely all absolutely wrong, which is part of the fun. This is a better film than The Dark Knight, which is amazing. To the ignorance of nuclear proliferation: the soviets detonated the most powerful nuclear device at 48 megatons, 1500 times more powerful than the atom bombs used in Japan.

[@bradenbowdish6463]

Genuinely cant fathom oppenheimer that low on the list

[@senshai1267]

The sound design is just amazing and the movie just like Nolan’s other movies , becomes more and more amazing with repeated watches

[@ZadeWilson]

The one In Review where the movie is longer than the podcast

[@pinoyguy75]

Riveting is the perfect word for this film. Despite the run length, I was fully into it the whole time. But the most shocking thing is that I did not realize that was Josh Harnet. Even when yall said that, I had to google who he played. Didn't recognize him at all

[@TrimblyWimbly]

100%, I googled it when they mentioned it

[@mrlibre]

saving this for tomorrow, i cant wait, i hope you guys loved the movie! cheers

[@irish6783]

Just got out of a showing. It was incredible. But a little long. Definitely worth a second viewing

[@Mike_L.]

Even having to watch it from 11pm to close to 2am, I was engrossed the entire time. Really damn good. I need to rewatch it, but it ranks pretty high for me.

[@Kmaitland89]

Andy kept saying " I was worried this would...." and then not really saying anything. He said it 4 times.

[@liquidsoap89]

The order of those movies at the end is fucking WILD!

[@EveryTimeIDavid]

Holy shit. This movie is so intense. This by far my favorite Nolan movie. The sense of absolute dread this movie conveys is insane, and it’s doing it all the while every single character is celebrating on screen. From the time the bomb went off to the last scene I was like why do I still feel this tension - like I know what happens. And it wasn’t until the final scene where I was like god damn, they nailed this. They did destroy the world. Phenomenally done. Fucking incredible.

[@justintlme8763]

Movie has no audio issues. I watched in a theater today. Perfect. Heard everything.

[@NF_Redux]

the movie was extraordinary, complex, pulls no punches, carefully explores how ideologies of all stripes can twist people into monsters in service of their chosen "greater good", and funnily enough made me think of the T-800 in Judgment Day telling John "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves." uplifting stuff, imo Nolan's best film yet, and Ludwig's score is astoundingly unnerving the entire time. 5/5

[@maishomemenos]

PLEASE I BEG YOU DO DIE HARD IN REVIEW !

[@andyflushfilms6989]

Didnt hear it mentioned here but when there sounds mostly cut out during the applause scene, there was one short horrible piercing scream that fucking sent me

[@NewklearPhil]

Chris is finally going to win that oscar

[@iCb0x]

7! Oh my days, this is my #1 with a bullet. He manages to tell his tightest story yet while dealing with unreal scale.

[@langleymneely]

Josh Hartnett was up for and almost signed up to play Superman in the start of the 2000s.

[@irish6783]

He’s got the stature for it

[@Varekai0723]

He was in discussion to play Batman in the Nolan movies as well.

[@justintlme8763]

Also, the reason Florence pughes character looks like someone was holding her under the water is, it has been widely theorized that she was murdered because of her close connection to Oppenheimer. Lastly, they called him Oppy because that’s actually what they fucking called him in real life… You guys have issues with reality it seems. Haha

[@langleymneely]

Im determined to see Tenet get the respect it deserves! That movie is awesome and Ludwig Goransson is already the fucking GOAT!

[@thenewogs8590]

Tenet saved me during the Pandemic. When everything felt like it was shut down, Tenet was showing in my Dolby theatre in Chicago. I saw it 5 times in theatres and loved it every time. I concur w/ ya brotha 🙌🏽✊🏽

[@jaredrmyer]

I really loved Tenet when I could watch it with subtitles. My first theater experience was rough though because of the sound mixing drowning out 50% of the dialogue.

[@SeanZherdev]

Ludwig Goransson cannot be the goat when John Williams exists. But he certainly is one of the best

[@jeffdecaro3164]

I love Zimmer but it's crazy how I just want Ludwig now 😂

[@Heimersleep]

@@jaredrmyerTenet is a great movie. But like it definitely needs a repeat viewing(s) which you could say is a con against it.

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

We need a They Cloned Tyrone and an Atlanta in review. Make it happen Tim!

[@xOogieBoogie3x]

Fun fact: All of the one-off cameos were played by Best Actor winners. Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Gary Oldman.

[@AdamTheHood]

I get what you’re saying but I wouldn’t say Malek or Affleck were one offs, the film just has such a huge cast that a lot of the supporting cast get a smaller role. Josh Peck, Devon Bostick, Alex Wolff and Jack Quaid all have fewer lines/screentime than Affleck/Malek but if you called them “one-off cameos” it would ruin the fact.

[@geoafe66]

Yeah the movie was very good. Nolan is a top tier director.

[@theprada2126]

Thanks for the video awesome content really fun

[@iihastega5972]

The point of not bombing Kyoto wasn’t because it was a pretty city that they’d like to visit, but because it was an ancient and cultural fixture of Japan and would likely incense the Japanese instead of weakening them. Despite it being the perfect target to gauge the Bombs effectiveness because it had been untouched.

[@collindoucet7374]

Stimson did honeymoon there and a lot of historians also theorize that it is partially the reason it was taken off the list.

[@evenstar1608]

Fyi, I read the biography of Gen. McArthur and the reason was bec Pre. Roosevelt had their honeymoon there. He felt in love with the place bec of its ambience and atmosphere When Japan entered the war, he specifically instructed the war generals not to bomb the place, for the same reasons. But alas the Japanese had spy in the upper echelon of US government and they learned it. So they built their war factories there. Decades later, when Lee Iococca visited Kyoto, he wondered why the war machineries and factories are there in such a beautiful and peaceful place. And that was their explainations. 😊😅

[@tomekmachowski764]

[@stanco4ever]

[@b2lamborgini]

[@WaffleOnTheRun]

[@TheRealGarate]

Idk if it was resolved in favor of Cruise but this movies gonna be on IMAX for at least 3 weeks no? Thought there was some hubbub about MI:DR getting only one week in IMAX because of Oppenheimer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@CrossOutBryce]

My imax showing only had ONE seat and it was perfectly in the middle, so I got super lucky. All the other showings were sold out until Monday night

[@au7oma7ic]

Tenet is an absolute masterpiece. The best part about Tenet, is all viewings after the first is a temporal pincer movement. So, us as viewers, engage in the movie Tenet, the same way the protagonist engages with his world. And so we are the protagonist as well.

[@skylermanley9379]

I wonder if they will ever do Wes Anderson in review

[@loganbigmo]

1:18:12 I was one of those people who did say "finally" when the movie ended, but I muttered it to my friend.

[@ihp7]

Estimated casualties for the invasion of Japan was 1,000,000 US casualties, not even counting Japanese casualties. The A-bombs were awful, but needed to end the war as soon as possible.

[@MrFreeth26]

Mutually assured destruction and nuclear deterrence we all got the goodies if you use on me I use on you essentially the state of the world to this day. The whole Atomic vs. Hydrogen bomb thing explained: Atomic is what was dropped on Japan [15 & 25 Kilotons] post Peal Harbour and the catalyst for end of WWII vs. Hydrogen bomb was only detonated in testing [combined 210 Megatons, largest single detonation 15 Megatons] in the 'Pacific Proving Grounds' most significantly [80% of total yield] in the Marshall Islands.

[@dtPlaythroughs]

One thing that blew me away in Japanese history class was learning that the US carpet bombings in Japan (see Grave of the Fireflies) killed so, so many more people than Nagasaki/Hiroshima bombs. Not saying it was an insignificant event or anything.

I think this is a great movie for a bunch of people who know the topic of Atomic Bomb. I do think there are parts that should of been shown more if they were going to make it so important. Like communism is a major topic in this movie, but I don't think they showed enough what it meant and how Americans were being targeted by their own government for being communists. I don't think it hits as hard during modern times. Also, while Downey was terrific, I could of used less of Lewis Strauss and his trials. I just didn't care. I cared about the scientists.
