The trailer teases that filming in IMAX has not only made the explosive scenes more impressive but has also heightened the quiet character moments as well. Check out the new poster for the film below, which teases a tense moment involving an atomic bomb:
Oppenheimer Could Be Christopher Nolan's Most Immersive Movie Yet
Nolan has always been a filmmaker committed to providing an exciting theatrical experience. Movies like The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk all make great use of the IMAX format, making the action feel bigger and putting audiences right into the moment. Interestingly, Oppenheimer seems to be a Nolan film without a whole lot of action in the traditional sense, but it could still end up being the most immersive.
One of the main reasons for this is that the upcoming historical epic is seemingly digging more into character than any of Nolan's past films have. Murphy's Oppenheimer will firmly take center stage, with the film chronicling his professional career, his home life, and all the nuances and complexities that come with both. With less action and more character work, Oppenheimer may have audiences feeling more invested in Murphy's character as his life unfolds.
What's more, Oppenheimer is based on real, Earth-altering events. While all of Nolan's past films have felt tactile and grounded in reality to varying degrees, the true-story nature of Oppenheimer could result in a more immersive experience. The atomic bomb is perhaps the most destructive human invention of all time, and it's clear that Nolan is intent on portraying the fraught development and potentially cataclysmic consequences of its creation in the most jaw-dropping way possible.
