The film is good but...
I got hit by the hype train.
It couldn't be different, though: a movie directed by Nolan (who made the all time greatest Interstellar) about the frontman of the project that conceived the doomsday weapon couldn't help but raise high expectations.
Well, I fell off the horse.
It seemed to be that the script was a little to hurried, specially in the early part, with many abrupt cuts; scenes that seemed interrupted. With all due respect, an horrorshow.
The plot is good, after all it is based on one of the most fascinating stories of humanity.
The use (I mean abuse) of the greatest scientific discoveries of the time to build a weapon with the potential to destroy the world is something that, I believe, will take centuries of meditation to be properly understood.
But I don't know, something seems to be missing... I didn't feel that touch of wonder Nolan usually puts in his films, that we know so well from Interestelar, Inception or even Tenet.
PS: For those who haven't read "un Verdor Terrible", by Benjamin Labatut, it's really worth it, as the book explores the boundaries between reason and madness of these characters involved with quantum physics (and with weapons of mass destruction, consequently).
The movie is good, but the book is much better.
