"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." 

Those were the immortal words (quoting Hindu scripture) spoken by the late nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer on live television twenty years after he helped create the atomic bomb.  They have resonated for decades since and they are part of the focus of this large-scale biopic directed by Christopher Nolan.  Nolan directs an all-star cast lead by Cillian Murphy who plays the titular figure along with Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh, along with several others of note.  The cast is expansive, the scope is expansive, and let's see if Nolan's adaptation of this tragic real-life story (based upon his biographical novel, "American Prometheus") does justice to its subject matter's importance.
