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?

For me, this movie is a tragedy; the explosion was the juxtaposition of the project team celebrating while what boils down to the death of 70k Japanese. Phenomenal - without being judgmental.
