S-Tier Universal 4K with a perfect 5.0 score. Oppenheimer sold out in one week, which prompted a Variety article about why retailers were pulling physical media while discs were selling like this. The IMAX scenes that fill the full screen are the reason to own the disc over digital, since the streaming version crops them. Nolan films consistently drive 4K sales more than anything else.

S-Tier 4K. Shot in 70mm Todd-AO so the transfer has more to work with than most modern family films. Nobody defends the movie but the disc is gorgeous, and that's interesting on its own.
