    I've thought about making an Oppenheimer except all scenes are in chronological order and the cringe ones are gone Edition

      Saying “Nolan was wrong” is begging for a fight.

      But his weird sound mixing philosophy (experience over clear dialog / dialog as sound effects) makes me nuts. So fix those too, please.

        Nobody can fight me on that because I don't know who Nolan is. Guessing he's a director, but in that case, didn't know he directed Oppenheimer. I'm part of the popcorn reviews, not the tomato ones.

        The movie is bad cause nobody can tell what is going on, or they can but it's a chore without reward. "3 weeks earlier" kind of crap every 30 seconds in the movie. Even the big plot twist is, "this scene with Einstein that you thought happened early in the timeline actually happened at the end, wow." But maybe it can be fixed.

            Nope, I spent my 3 hours watching it in an IMAX theater. If anything, knowing the director adds bias.
