Stoked how bad Oppenheimer was

[m13wo]

It was interesting and entertaining, but a bit too cheesy sometimes and overly melodramatic.

I feel like every big movie suffers from that description, it’s like if you don’t deliver the “formula for the masses” in form of “drama” - you won’t get the budget, and I think that it will only get worse with time. it’s a business and the studios don’t like losing money…

[Imposter]

Wow people are still complaining about the mix, that honestly baffles me. I had absolutely no problem with the audio.

Everyday we get further and further from Memento.

Last Nolan movie I saw was Interstellar, after that I just sorta tapped out.

sorry @Fin25

And so you should be.

Not sure If Im misremembering but isn’t one of the reasons for the bad audio Dolby Atmos?

Might “shit sound” now be very dependant where in the cinema you sit? Presumably most screens don’t have treated rooms. With an Atmos sound field interacting with room reflections, you could have all sorts of weird going on.

(Not an expert, just interested)

I feel like Michael Mann in the 90’s succeeded with some of the things I believe Nolan is trying to do,

I don’t think Nolan tries to do a Mann kind of thing at all. Unless I completely zoned out during Michael Mann films and missed … everything?

(For what it’s worth I love both Nolan and Villeneuve, and even the best Mann films never excite me)

Is Dolby Atmos really necessary for an immersive film experience? For such a serious subject as the atom bomb, I don’t know… I was more interested in what the characters had to say to each other but I realize I am likely out of sync with greater society.

My metric for movies is simple:

I measure everything against The Shawshank Redemption. It’s either better, worse, or on par with The Shawshank Redemption.

Its a popular movie. If you find yourself amongst circles praising a movie you didn’t like, just change the subject to how great The Shawshank Redemption is

If memory serves you can’t say your theater is Dolby Atmos enabled unless they set the sound in the room themselves; it’s their gimmick. So you can’t just hang some speakers in a warehouse and say it’s Dolby Atmos, their engineers have to be involved and they’re pretty critical of their spaces.

[shigginpit]

so, long story short, you’re saying oppenheimer is a bomb.

[Ryan]

Ha! Dammit! Only in hindsight is that pun so blatantly obvious!

That’s … unfortunate!
