    I knew Hollywood would ruin it and I actively avoided seeing it.

    Now that I know how it was ruined I don’t need to watch. Maybe in 10 years I’ll ask AI to do a “trololol’s cut” for me and I’ll watch it.

      @trolololol There are numerous films about the Manhattan Project, most of them better. Just much less Michael Bay, if you know what I mean. Made for grown-ups.

      I recommend a docu-drama that came out the same year, A Compassionate Spy. Much more compelling.

        Thx for the suggestion, I went after the trailer and saw it now.

        It’s a biography. I’ll skip. I’m assuming it’s the typical trope of the story of a particular person and every character has to fit into the good or the bad guys.

        I tend to like books and movies where there’s no clear line between good and bad, to the point that the author doesn’t bother with the distinction. AND stories about things, projects or societies instead of individualistic centered plots. Not that those are bad, it’s that I migrated to an English speaking country and English literature is really really biased in these things, and I crave for different styles.

      Cinema Sins will probably cover it in a year or two and that usually covers enough of a movie to get the gist of it. /S
