Christopher Nolan took a playful swipe at streaming while introducing a Los Angeles screening of “Oppenheimer” that was devoted to spotlighting the film’s craft. Crew members reunited for the event Monday evening, billed as “The Story of Our Time: The Making of ‘Oppenheimer.'” The director said a lot of time and energy has gone into assembling the “Oppenheimer” Blu-ray so that it preserves the film’s soundscape, which is one reason moviegoers should buy a physical copy as opposed to waiting for the movie to stream.

“Obviously ‘Oppenheimer’ has been quite a ride for us and now it is time for me to release a home version of the film. I’ve been working very hard on it for months,” Nolan said. “I’m known for my love of theatrical and put my whole life into that, but, the truth is, the way the film goes out at home is equally important.”

“‘The Dark Knight’ was one of the first films where we formatted it specially for Blu-ray release because it was a new form at the time,” he continued. “And in the case of ‘Oppenheimer,’ we put a lot of care and attention into the Blu-ray version… and trying to translate the photography and the sound, putting that into the digital realm with a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you.”

Release date: 22nd November 2023

Tech specs: Blu-ray.com

Cool, cool... I think I have an old DVD player in a box in the attic somewhere, I guess I'll go look for it specifically for watching Oppenheimer

Hopefully it still works

Maybe I'll wait for the laserdisc version

I have a laserdisc player a friend gave me. I compared one of the films on disc to a Criterion version that I um...found.

The Criterion version blew it away. It was like the difference between watching a glitchy VHS tape versus a DVD.

Honestly that was about my opinion of laserdisc when I first saw one in the 90s lol I didn't get what the big deal was
