I saw Oppenheimer, it wasn't what I expected (jemmy.jeena.net)

I watched Openheimer in a IMAX movie theater today, it was not bad I liked it, especially the cinemography.

But somehow - probably because I didn't do enough research before going - I was expecting a lot of nerdy physics science like in the Martian, but it was mostly politics.

I was excited for Oppenheimer, having read The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb both by Richard Rhodes.

The movie just followed him, which i did enjoy, but if you want the wider story, plenty of physics, and spycraft, those books are fantastic.
