On Sunday I viewed the Oppenheimer movie for the second time.  This time in IMAX and, to be honest, it was not the spectacular experience I was lead to anticipate.

Yes, the sound was pronounced and surrounding, but is was not the "so much more" I was led to believe would be delivered.  It was just louder with surround pounding. 

Nonetheless, the second viewing of this extraordinary 3+ hour movie was worth it.  

It is just great in so many ways, eg, many actors will be nominated for awards.

If you haven't seen it, it's a wonderful "can't miss" movie with an even greater historical story.  

Oppenheimer (Oppie to his friends) was a significant and memorable genius!

I'm glad to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the movie and found it excellent in many ways. Personally, I haven't been to the movies in over a decade, so it's impressive that you were able to sit through a 180-minute film. Kudos to you for your dedication and commitment to experiencing such a lengthy movie!

I remember reading a biography on Oppenheimer and Trinity when I was in college. Left a very lasting impression on me.

That movie and band of Brothers were probably the two most powerful viewing experiences I’ve had this year. It was excellent and important.

The high volume has kept me away from the movie theaters for a long time. Glad you enjoyed the movie - twice!

Have heard a lot about it, but is still in my "list to view" - will try to change that status based on your suggestion sooner rather than later

Great movie.
Experience it in a theater while you still can. This movie demands your full attention.
Home viewing anything for 3 hours without checking your phone is impossible!
