Oppenheimer 4K 01/02/24

Christopher Nolan’s biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer is a welcome departure from present film trends. The story of the ‘father’ of the atom bomb prioritizes the scientist’s dilemma — the nation wants Oppie’s expertise to make a super-weapon, but won’t tolerate his opinions about the atomic future. Was there ever a 3-hour epic devoted mostly to security clearances?  The intelligent screenplay makes sense of dozens of historical figures, embodied by a cast that includes Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Alden Ehrenreich, Jason Clarke, Kenneth Branagh, Gregory Jbara, Tom Conti, David Krumholtz, Josh Hartnett, Florence Pugh, Matthew Modine, James Remar and Gary Oldman. On Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital from Universal Home Video.
