Forgot to add I liked how the communists were treated as boogeymen when the capitalists are the only ones explicitly shown ordering mayhem and destruction. Truman at the thought of actually giving back Native land to Natives 
Nolan should give Justin Hurwitz a holler if Zimmer can’t score his next film.

For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
When I saw the mention of RFK I was wondering if nolan gonna do the cuban missile crisis next
Getting 70mm ticket in Seattle has been tough for 3 days 
That’s a combo I haven’t really thought of. Hurwitz seems to be sticking with Chazelle these days though. Plus, I think Nolan found his frequent collaborator in Ludwig.Nolan should give Justin Hurwitz a holler if Zimmer can’t score his next film.
In a sentence, I liked it. But, it takes all of Christopher Nolan's considerable talent, and the score, and the acting, the cinematography, to keep me engaged. In a different directors's hands this would have been unwatchable to me, because subject matter just isn't something I would spend three hours watching. Like Lincoln from 2012. That was insufferable. Academics bickering amongst themselves, about science. Just wouldn't be a movie I was into.
But, when this works, and it was 80% of the time, it flows, and feels, yes, like someone noted a little like Malick, the New Mexico shots were incredible. The shots on the train. of The flow, the editing and pacing, the crispness of everything, it was excellent.
Thought it should have ended around the Harry Truman scenes, "don't let that cry baby back in here" (which could be my favorite line of the movie), the rest showcased Downey Jr, and it was great, but it really started to sag in those scenes, it didn't go off the rails, but just wore me down. Would say that the actual writing was the weakest part, and in a different movie, with sharper dialouge maybe could have engaged me more. The security clearance and Senate scenes felt very grating. maybe the shift from a more visual and awe inspiring movie, like Malick, to a kind of Sorkin style was jarring.
very classic Nolan though, that Einstein shot, I saw that coming, but still had the moment, of like yeah of course Nolan has one of those famous ending shots, where something is shown two or three different ways.

I couldn't get good 70MM tix, but we got a step down on the IMAX meter (technically a fake) and it was still glorious. that shyt was too loud tho.... I blame the theater
Like most of Nolan’s films (outside of The Dark Knight Trilogy) this film is very philosophical and cerebral in nature. There is a lot of build up to what people are anticipating the most (the building & deployment of the Atomic bomb) but boy the tension is delicious. Needless to say - I really enjoyed it and recommend people see it.

It appears that I was wrong on this one, but it makes sense since Michael Caine is 90 and has had a number of health issues in the last few years including spinal surgery. That scene in Tenet, where his character is even named Sir Michael, seems more like a poignant farewell now. This is the first Nolan film since Insomnia to not feature him in some sort of capacity.
