The DVD was well packed, arrived on time and was a good price. Alas, I thought the film was over rated, especially after all the hype and Oscar awards. To me the movie was all over the place. Indeed, I thought it would be incomprehensible to anyone unaware of the back-story. Fortunately, before viewing the DVD, my wife and I watched the BBC's (1980) 6-part Oppenheimer mini series, starring Sam Waterston, (recently rebroadcast), and this helped us to understand better all of Oppenheimer's trials and tribulations.

Sound awful - speech so garbled we had to resort to subtitles. Film content interesting but rather drawn out - we watched in 2 sessions.

What could have been a stodgy, overlong biopic turns out to be a fascinating insight into Oppenheimer's life, with fine acting all round and the almost 3 hour running time went by without seeming a moment too long. I highly recommend this intelligent production. Perhaps it could have focused a little more on the actual effects of dropping the 2 atomic bombs on Japan, but overall this excellent film richly deserves its many Oscar awards.

Trying to understand the American accents is a Nightmare. The story line sounds contrived through-out.
