Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer wins a lot of early-round matchups but struggles against the best. At 58% overall, first impressions only go so far. Nolan's three-hour IMAX epic asks voters to commit to the weight of it. On a ballot, that density is either the whole argument or the reason to pick something leaner.
Synopsis
The story of J. Robert Oppenheimer's role in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II.
73% to 44% to 40%. The decline is steady rather than sudden — Oppenheimer doesn't collapse, it gradually meets its match. The films at the top of the bracket are a different class.
The matchup with The Dark Knight is a genuine coin flip at 50% — neither film has found an edge. Dunkirk is the easy matchup at 73%. Interstellar is the kryptonite at 20%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what Oppenheimer can and can't handle.
In Best of Nolan, Oppenheimer dominates Dunkirk (73%) in round one, trails Inception 56–44% in the semifinals, edges The Dark Knight 50–50% in the final. The final is too close to call.
Oppenheimer is one of Christopher Nolan's strongest bracket performers — #2 of 7, trailing only The Dark Knight (59%).
#4 of 8 in Best of Nolan.
