LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: One of the most anticipated movies of the year is Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'.

A movie for big-screens
Nolan is known for his usage of practical effects, rather than CGI. Some of his most iconic scenes include the plane crash from 'Tenet' and several signature stunts from the 'Batman Trilogy' to name a few. And for the upcoming 'Oppenheimer', the crew has recreated the first nuclear weapon detonation without CGI. And the trailer of 'Oppenheimer' shows us a glimpse of the explosion, promising the audience a complete theatrical experience.
'Oppenheimer' is set to release in theaters on July 21, 2023.
