Oppenheimer - 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD]

Since physical media started to be on the decline, a lot of studios have neglected the special features but this release has a decent amount. It’s no Lord of the Rings special editions or anything with hours and hours of content. But I’ll take what I can get. I just wish it included an audio commentary too. But this is a fantastic movie from 2023 and started a viral barbenheimer movement that year. Christopher Nolan is at his best here. It has great performances and unforgettable music. And for any WWII history buff, this is a no brainer. Especially for the low price. $9.99 seems way more reasonable for a bluray than 20-30 like some others

We watched this film 3 x in IMAX. We don’t go to the theater twice to see a movie. If we liked it, we wait for streaming. Or even buy the dvd. But watching Oppenheimer in the theater was an EXPERIENCE. Excuse the pun but we were blown away. We pre-ordered this and like kids at Christmas we could hardly wait for its release. And what a dvd it is! There are two discs. The second one is 3 hours of Special Features covering everything they did in making the film. It’s as enthralling as the film! The dvd comes in various formats so you can get a bigger bang (there’s that pun again) for the buck if you have a more sophisticated system. We bought this film on VOD and streaming. Since the end of July until now, in February, we have watched Oppenheimer 6 times. It’s never old. We can quote a bunch of dialogue by heart. Every time we see something new, peel another layer off the story, realize why every element in the film is garnering truckloads of awards. Not just the best film of 2023, but one for the ages. The mega cast is outstanding. Cillian Murphy embodies the man. Nolan’s direction, as usual, is impeccable. The cinematography is extraordinary and the score, that SCORE! is as profound as the screenplay. (We also bought the soundtrack.) Nuclear proliferation, Oppenheimers greatest fear, is as frightening now as it was then. Today we have Putin threatening to use “limited nuclear weapons” against Ukraine and negotiating with North Korea to get military materiel in exchange for nuclear secrets. And Iran is fast approaching nuclear capability. I think this is why audiences are so shaken after watching it. I hope the film is re-released in IMAX after awards season ends. Predictions are that it will win everything. When asked if he was surprised at the great success of his film Nolan said, “Audiences want something new, something different to watch in the theater. Imagine! A 3-hour R-rated movie about quantum physics making a billion dollars!” The now iconic scene between Neils Bohr and young Oppenheimer: “Algebra is like sheet music. It’s not can you read the music, it’s can you HEAR the music. Can you hear the music, Robert?” “Yes. Yes I can.” And that’s the scene that tells the story. If you’ve seen the film in the theater you don’t need my recommendation. If you haven’t seen it, then you’re in for an amazing head trip.

Awesome movie and learn about how evil people are

The last movie that I think was this great was “THE THIRTEEN DAYS” (JFK & the cuban crisis)

The picture quality on this DVD is outstanding but, even after several viewings, I haven’t figured out what all the hype was about over this movie. It is a decent movie, but I wouldn’t say it is a great movie.

Christopher Nolan’s filmography has been building to this movie. Over decades, Nolan has had gimmicks in his films that make them stand out. Oppenheimer (2023) uses many of them to create a compelling story that’s half scientific discovery and half political drama. That a movie like this—about unleashing the Pandora’s box of nuclear weapons—hadn’t been made like this before is perhaps the more impressive feat. The way Nolan weaves the two halves of the story together is masterful. However, the actors definitely do a lot of heavy lifting here. It took me a second viewing to piece together that the black-and-white segments followed Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.) while the color segments focused on J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy). This visual stylization hearkened back to the way Nolan made Memento (2000) unique. The shifted timelines between the black-and-white/color segments evoked Dunkirk (2017)., I’m just glad that I could actually understand what everyone was saying, unlike in Tenet (2020). Ultimately, the way Nolan films his movies with practical effects adds a layer of realism that can’t be faked. The emotional realization of what they had just released on the world still gives me chills. Of course, the style and way a movie looks can only take it so far toward greatness. The actors in Oppenheimer all turned in excellent performances. It would surprise me if Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy didn’t receive nominations for acting Oscars when awards season hits. Similarly, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh helped to showcase the scientist’s womanizing tendencies. Even the minor characters like Niels Bohr (Kenneth Branagh), General Groves (Matt Damon), and Ernest Lawrence (Josh Hartnett) were portrayed to their fullest. Overall, Oppenheimer is a timeless film that builds upon Christopher Nolan’s already successful cinematic career. An all-star acting tour de force backed by Nolan’s brilliant directing, I give Oppenheimer 5.0 stars out of 5.

A good movie. Even today you can visit the Trinity site, twice a year. Very interesting to see.

it's worth all the hype.

Bought as gift

Quede sorprendido con la imagen y audio del 4K, el cine de Nolan es espectacular. El paquete llegó a tiempo y en perfecto estado.

La trama atraves de tres horas que dura la pelicula, narra la historia de R.Oppenheimer , protagonizado por Cillian Murphy, quien gano su primer Oscar, por su interpretacion, quien fue conocido como el padre de la bomba atomica. El guion se basa en la biografia " American Prometheus " de Kai Bird y Martin J.Sherwin. Por otra parte la pelicula obtuvo en este año siete Oscar , incluyendo Mejor Pelicula, Direccion para Christopher Nolan, Actor de Reparto para Robert Downey Jr. ; de trece nominaciones, incluyendo la nominacion de Emily Blunt, como Actriz de Reparto. En cuanto el recibo de la pelicula, me llego en buen estado y dentro de la fecha de entrega.

I would love to have watched this CD, but I could not play it in Australia as it was not the right Region. As it was posted in Sydney I am at a loss to understand why I was sent a CD I could not play. Waste of money and an experience I will not repeat. Also missed the return date due to ill health.
