The portrayable was portrayed well, including the experience of scientific discovery (which is abstract - a lot of science films miss this, while the kekule story gets it right), and what was unportrayable was appropriately left unportrayed. Oppenheimer staring into a close up shot, distorted by the frame into seeming to look both directions at once, is so frequent that it’s become a meme but it’s used well

Despite his demeanor, I share Kero's general attitude towards Hollywood - it would take a lot to get me to watch Oppenheimer, but I absolutely would if the movie was "better than anything else Hollywood has made in 4 decades." (That's a low bar, and anime often jumps above it.)

I do think Oppenheimer has a huge advantage if you see it in a theater, because it uses loud bomb noises to great effect. But it’s disjointed in an interesting way which makes it feel like there’s not much of a plot - or the plot is only a background to a bomb that is building itself. Primer is the opposite of all of this.

I also enjoyed The Zero Theorem (not really a science film) and The Man Who Knew Infinity, but I would put both below Oppenheimer.
