Ok, hear me out. I really like Cillian and RDJ in this movie, and the performances all the way were incredible.

But I got a massive disappointment when the explosion happened. People touted left and right how it was done only with practical effects, no CG! And in the end it looked like a warehouse exploded, it was so tiny. Was the real atomic bomb that underwhelming?

I thought it was the other way around.

The silence when the explosion happened engulfing the screen with fire, letting it sink for you that how destructive it is, followed by the boom to shake you with its impact was so well done.
