Since his early films, Nolan has been dedicated to creating movies that prioritize practical effects. While visual effects have been used in some scenes, the filmmaker consistently strives to anchor his storytelling in authentic settings, physical stunts, and practical effects. Even in Interstellar, a film that explores space travel extensively, certain sequences were achieved through unexpected practical methods.
Oppenheimer takes the tradition to a whole new level, exceeding expectations by delivering a film with "zero CGI shots" throughout its runtime, according to Nolan. Despite this claim, visual effects are still utilized to enhance the footage captured in-camera. A standout feature is the recreation of the Trinity test, the first nuclear blast, using practical methods. The movie's remarkable cast and on-location shooting, including utilizing real historical locations such as Oppenheimer's house, add to its impressiveness. Notably, an entire small town was constructed to replicate Los Alamos. While its comparison to Nolan's previous movies is undetermined, Oppenheimer undoubtedly showcases his most impressive technical work to date.
