I saw it twice in the theater. Great movie. Only a couple here didn't really like it. But, it's not the kind of movie that has lots of replay value, plus it's 3 hours long.
But, I love Nolan's work as a filmmaker and I will be interested in the bonus content for how this movie was made. 3 hours is a good amount, especially since Nolan doesn't do commentary tracks.
BTW, I read there is no Dolby Atmos as Nolan isn't a fan of it.

One reason being that Atmos can’t be done on film, which is his preferred format.
Wanted to see this at the local IMAX but the good seats were always sold out at the times I could’ve made it, even on the last days it was playing.

Back when Interstellar was released, one of Nolan's sound mixers did an interview where he explained that Nolan doesn't like surround sound and prefers a "wall of sound" coming from the screen.

He’s right, you know. Glad they aren’t doing that early digital crap with this.

GRUV shipped out my copy on 4K disc yesterday, so should have it by Thursday or Friday. I love when they break street date.

Nolan is one of the few directors I’ll buy physical media for. Of course I’m not sure he’s one to tout the high sound quality. I can’t watch The Dark Knight Rises or Tenet without the subtitles on thanks to his “superior sound”.

I'm of course a big supporter of physical media, but Christopher Nolan needs to shut the f--- up. He should be grateful that anyone would want to watch his pretentious three-hour borefest through any means they wish to. Nobody needs him to be the gatekeeper for cinema purity.

Anyone know if the digital version will have the variable aspect ratios the disk has, or will it be one ratio throughout the way his last two Batman movies are on digital?

Anybody get lucky and score the Best Buy exclusive 4k Steelbook? Was checking the site everyday to pre-order and it went up the day of, in the early AM and sold out within minutes. I also went to the physical location near my work and they had none. The guy didn't even know there was a steelbook option.
This solidifies my opinion that it's a good thing that Best Buy is getting out of physical media. Apparently they only got 100 copies total of the Oppenheimer steelbook (according to the rumor mill). What kind of corporate thinking is that? Constant struggles to get exclusive Steelbooks with them. Hopefully now the studios will make them available to all stores that still sell physical media, even though that's dying too.

The corporate thinking is they are getting OUT of physical media. Why would they order a ton they can't unload? One reason why I never got so hung up on steelbooks and slips. Less reason to be butthurt when something doesn't go one's way.

I tried really hard to get one from the site. Went straight from Coming Soon to Sold Out. Then they removed the listing altogether. Bummer since I'm a collector and it's my favorite film of 2023.

It appears there is a shortage of Oppenheimer on disc. The BD and 4K are back ordered on Amazon.
I guess there was a big rush to pick this up even though it was still quite expensive.

The shipment was either delayed or they didn't make enough Oppenheimer 4ks. Love Actually 4k has been sold out too. Maybe Universal underestimated demand for the 4k discs? Nolan encouraging people to buy the physical version of Oppenheimer might have increased demand too.
