The 2024 Oscar winner for Best Picture has finally arrived at streaming. “Oppenheimer” was added to Prime Video‘s catalog just a few days ago and quickly became the most-watched movie in the United States.
Since it was announced, the film had high expectations to meet, marking Christopher Nolan’s return after a project destroyed by the critic. Also, it featured a star-studded cast that had to tackle a delicate chapter of American history with extreme care.
Not only did the production surpass these tests, but it also dominated the most recent Academy Awards, receiving 13 nominations and dominating 7.
‘Oppenheimer’ is the new No. 1 movie on Prime Video US
Renowned experts have hailed “Oppenheimer” as a crucial film for understanding contemporary cinema, so it’s no surprise to see it ranking #1 on Prime Video in the United States.
The production quickly dethroned “Federer: Twelve Final Days,” despite it being one of the streamer’s most significant documentaries this year. It also outshone “The Blue Angels,” even amid the Glen Powell fever.
Nolan’s creation centers on Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, exploring the circumstances that led him to craft this destructive force and its profound impact on his life, the United States, and the world.
It features a star-studded cast, with Cillian Murphy leading the drama alongside stellar performances by Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, and Matt Damon.
Noted for its accuracy, “Oppenheimer” includes scenes lifted word-for-word from the book “American Prometheus” and real-life events. The complex plot, combined with outstanding IMAX cinematography, ensures this movie will be remembered forever.
