Unveiling Oppenheimer's Streaming Platform and Official Release Date
The highly anticipated streaming release date for Oppenheimer, a riveting portrayal of the atomic bomb's development, has finally been unveiled, promising an explosive journey onto the small(er) screen
The atomic bomb drama, Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, is finally set to be released for streaming, marking its debut on the small screen. In 2023, Nolan's success with this film proved his ability to deliver impactful and compelling stories.
Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Florence Pugh, Oppenheimer follows the creator himself and his team of scientists as they dedicate years to developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their efforts culminated in the world’s first nuclear explosion on July 16, 1945.
Following its theatrical release in July 2023, the movie now has a streaming release date and platform – here’s the latest update.
Oppenheimer finally gets streaming release date
Oppenheimer will officially head to streaming from February 16, 2024, being available to binge on Peacock.
Nolan's upcoming movie is set to be one of the first major 2023 blockbusters available for home streaming, while other highly anticipated films like Barbie are still awaiting their release dates. The high demand for Oppenheimer to be released on streaming platforms is no surprise, considering the movie's success at the global box office and its significant contribution to cinematic history.
The movie currently holds a certified fresh score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, along with an audience score of 91%.
In our five-star review, we stated: "Oppenheimer opens with a quote about Prometheus stealing from the gods and being condemned for eternity, reflecting the story being told here. Despite being less of a biopic and more of a horror movie, Oppenheimer still manages to convey compassion in Robert's story. This results in a monumental accomplishment that rivals Nolan's finest work, and a film of significant importance and genuine humanity."
Keith Phipps from The Reveal describes the film as a series of scenes that feel like impending disasters, which is fitting for a movie that gradually builds toward the creation of a catastrophic machine. Oppenheimer's work invokes a sense of awe for the effort required to build the bomb and for the far-reaching implications it had.
Mitchell Beaupre from The Film Stage sees the film as a violent confrontation with America's appetite for violence, portrayed through a man whose arrogance and innocence contributed to one of the most unspeakable atrocities in history. The unprecedented devastation continues to impact societies to this day.
Starting February 1, a number of Christopher Nolan movies, including Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Dunkirk, Inception, and Memento, will be added to Peacock, joining Oppenheimer.
