Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?

Unpopular opinion, but I left Oppenheimer at the 40 minutes mark. The main character was so unlikable, the movie pretentious, and I hated there was some kind of trial going on, but I had no context. So I left and did something better with my time.
Same. I stopped after about 20 minutes. I love science and know the history, so the art part ended up feeling waaaay too pretentious being dragged out for extra seconds in every damn scene. No wonder the movie's so long when they're wanking every scene...
This movie sucked. If they told it in sequential order this movie would have bombed. Showing the scenes out of order made it more interesting than it had any right be
Classic Nolan trick: perplex your audience with non-linear story telling and loud blaring audio contrasted by whisper dialogue to sell the illusion of depth and tapestry....
Yeah I thought it was pretentious as hell. Par for the course from Christopher Nolan, making movies with 'deep meaning' feels that really aren't that deep actually.
He just has to overcomplicate things with some timeline fuckery. every. single. movie.
- Memento: timeline is backwards
- Inception: time runs at different rates in the real world vs the dream
- Dunkirk: 3 timelines running at different speeds (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week)
- Interstellar: time looping back on itself + time running at a different rate due to black hole fuckery
- TENET: yeah ...
- Oppenheimer: constant jump cuts between different periods in Oppenheimer's story
Mind you, some of those are good movies and I can tolerate some of the timeline fuckery, but it's really becoming a gimmick.
