One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.

Zero parts fun.

Three fucking hours long.

Don't waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

Finally saw it. It was good. I disagree with OP and many others ITT which is why I'm replying to you lol. It wasn't Sorkin-esque in my opinion because Sorkin-esque dialog is very quippy and punchy and smug and sarcastic, and this movie didn't feel that way at all. Nor did it feel very "great man theory" because there was a lot of focus on the other scientists, engineers, soldiers, and workers involved in the project. It was a biopic, but it was also about McCarthyism. Was it a communist movie, made for communists? of course not. But it was still enjoyable.
