Oppenheimer (2023)
Oppenheimer: A Technically Impressive Yet Narratively Underwhelming Experience.
As a movie enthusiast, I approached 'Oppenheimer' with high expectations, intrigued by its renowned director Christopher Nolan and an impressive crew. I want to emphasize that this review reflects my personal opinion and experience with the film.
The film felt more like a documentary than a traditional cinematic narrative to me. Despite trying to engage with the story, I found it challenging to maintain interest. The exception was the exceptional score by Ludwig Göransson, which was notably engaging.
One aspect of the film that particularly stood out to me was its dialogue-centric nature. While dialogue can be a powerful tool in storytelling, in 'Oppenheimer,' it often felt overused, leading to scenes that became monotonous due to the staging, pacing, or lack of anticipation. This approach made some of the dialogue scenes rather tedious and less impactful.
A pivotal moment, the delivery of 'Now I am become Death,' didn't resonate with me as expected. The lack of depth in conveying Oppenheimer's internal struggles made this iconic line feel somewhat underwhelming.
The narrative structure was another concern for me. It attempted to cover various aspects of Oppenheimer's life, including his professional achievements and personal tribulations. However, the film seemed to only skim the surface of these complex themes, leaving me wanting more in-depth exploration.
Towards the end of my review, I'd like to address the film's use of IMAX. While technically impressive, it felt more like a marketing strategy rather than a narrative necessity. It didn't seem to add to the storytelling or enhance the emotional weight of Oppenheimer's dilemmas.
In conclusion, while I appreciate the effort and talent involved in creating 'Oppenheimer' and recognize the subjective nature of film appreciation, the movie didn't resonate with me as much as I had hoped. This review is not to dissuade others but to share my personal perspective. I believe each viewer's experience is unique, and I encourage moviegoers to form their own opinions.

The Social Dilemma (2020)
Good try but nothing new
To be honest I struggled to watch the entire documentary. While watching, I thought it was a commercial rather than what it should be.
I'm not arguing documentary should in a way that it used to be. Taking a new step in production isn't bad but they were more focused on making it filmic or up to Netflix standard rather than focusing on the content. Here the documentary fails to impress persons like me because all those things they ere saying aren't new to me or at least to a person who know what is the worldwide web.
The exaggerated cinematic visuals made it more like a staged performance rather than real facts and the funniest part is that they made fun of every other social media except themselves. If it's a genuine production, they should include a session about things inside Netflix too. after all its a social media platform!
