Christopher Nolan’s cinematic tour-de-force Oppenheimer is preparing for its home entertainment debut just in time for the holidays. On November 21, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will release the film on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and digital formats.
Alongside Nolan’s gripping drama about the Manhattan Project and dawn of the atomic age, the releases come packed with over three hours of immersive bonus features. These give an in-depth look at the unparalleled filmmaking behind Oppenheimer’s realization.
The highlight of the bonuses is the 70+ minute “Story of Our Time: The Making of Oppenheimer.” Through exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, viewers go inside the production through the eyes of Nolan and his creative team.
It covers topics like the genre-blending narrative, assembling the all-star cast, achieving visual effects without CGI, the period design and costuming, and Ludwig Göransson’s score. Fans gain unfiltered access to the remarkable process of creating this cinematic achievement.
Other special features help place Oppenheimer in its complex historical context:
- The NBC documentary “To End All War” explores how the atomic bomb forever altered modern warfare.
- A “Trinity Anniversary Panel Discussion” has Nolan, physicists, and Oppenheimer biographer Kai Bird dissecting the film’s science and themes.
- “Innovations in Film” dives into the technical achievements of shooting in 65mm black-and-white and color.
The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray releases allow viewers to experience Oppenheimer’s shifting aspect ratios, just as theaters did. Home audiences can witness the film’s visual language distinguishing the past and present.
With four-times-sharper resolution and HDR’s expanded color palette, the 4K Ultra HD presents Nolan’s vision in eye-popping clarity. The multi-channel audio equally envelops you in the action.
Oppenheimer comes home loaded with bonuses that pull back the curtain on its creation.
Cinephiles and history buffs alike will relish the chance to rewatch the drama with Nolan’s insights. Don’t miss the opportunity to own one of the year’s most monumental films this holiday season.
