Many claim that Oppenheimer is Christopher Nolan’s best work so far. This assertion mainly stems from its profoundly impactful nature, that triggers strong emotions of awe, concern, and wonder. Throughout the Oscar-nominated film, it prompts contemplation on humanity that lingers long after leaving the theater. The movie was meant for bigger screens like IMAX and a louder sound system to fully appreciate what is believed to be a exceptional milestone in cinematography, acting, soundtrack, and sound editing.

This Cillian Murphy starrer recently brought back memories of another one of Christopher Nolan’s classics from a decade ago – Interstellar. The 2014 sci-fi flick had fans on the edge of their seats in theaters. From the cast to the storyline and the way it depicted events beyond human comprehension while humanizing the 4th dimension, everything about this movie was spot-on. With its 10th anniversary approaching this year, fans are rallying for a special theatrical re-release of the masterpiece in 2024.

For many fans, the only other Christopher Nolan movie that left them feeling as ambiguous as Oppenheimer was Interstellar. However, Oppenheimer provided a more digestible narrative for moviegoers compared to the 2014 epic science fiction film. Nevertheless, both films received recognition at the Academy Awards, earning multiple Oscars nomination. While Interstellar clinched only one Oscar for Visual Effects at the 87th ceremony, Nolan’s latest creation is anticipated to dominate the awards this year.
