This was fricking embarassing. I hate overused CGI as much as the next guy but Nolan really needs to rein in his autism

    It's poetic though. The real explosion being silent (the physics). The loudest noise actually coming when he was talking to the people (the consequence).

      don't give me your reddit cope
      the sound design was fine and appropriate. The explosion was very obviously a standard petrol explosion filmed in slow mo, and he completely fricked up the forced perspective that was supposed to make it look big and far away.

      It looked fricking like a network tv show explosion.

      unironically seen more impressive explosions in Cannon movies

        Seriously, you can't mock the scale of a nuclear explosion with some burning gas, especially not when actual, real-life footage of them exist for people to compare them to. But I guess Nolan didn't want all that boring nuclear stuff to overshadow his dramatic "McCarthyism is le bad" plot.

        i liked all the effects and the sound design in the film, with the exception of the shot of the actual explosion. it was indeed rather disappointing

    I remember seeing it and thinking "wow that's embarrassing". I genuinely felt embarrassed to be sitting in the theater watching something so fricking lame.

    Movies today have the lamest practical effects for a number of reason. 1.) Nobody is really good at them anymore. 2.) There are too many restrictions to get something cool like an explosion on screen. 3.) It costs more than the CGI and is incredibly wasteful.

    It's the one instance he should've compromised and used CGI. You can't fake a nuclear explosion with some cans of gas when there's so much footage of the actual trinity test

    It's ridiculous that The Day After did a better nuke explosion just by chemically messing with the film, 50 years earlier.

    He should have filmed some of the shots in daylight to emphasize how fricking bright the flag was. That’s how the witnesses described it. Like it was temporarily bright as noon. In the movie it looks like he was shining a moderately powerful flashlight at the actors faces.

    Omg... they're prepping us to accept nuclear war as a viable path for humanity!
