Sadly for us movie lovers, the act of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/best-cinemas-in-hong-kong-movie-theatres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cinema-going<\/a> is becoming lost in the age of streaming, especially due to the pandemic. What\u2019s more, critics have been bemoaning that comic-book series are now overcrowding the market, and that even previously reliable box office hits from Disney are underperforming. Amidst the pessimism, Barbenheimer was born. And its popularity, in hot pink and explosion galore, is as surprising as it is wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Two films, comically opposite in tone and subject matter, opened on the same day \u2013 20 July \u2013 in Hong Kong. What had been assumed to be a rivalry has become, instead, a collaboration, as people attempt to watch both movies as a double feature. Thus, the meme \u201cBarbenheimer\u201d came to be. Excitement over outfit changes, which one to watch first, and gleeful anticipation towards the films spread across the internet. Although I was planning to see the two movies on separate nights, watching them back-to-back sounded like an exciting challenge \u2013 so here\u2019s my spoiler-free Barbenheimer review.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Oppenheimer<\/em> was dynamic \u2013 but I shouldn\u2019t have seen it first<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_197271\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-197271\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-197271 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-oppenheimer-still.jpg\" alt=\"barbenheimer oppenheimer still\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-oppenheimer-still.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-oppenheimer-still-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-oppenheimer-still-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-197271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Oppenheimer<\/i> had great technical achievements (Image: Universal Pictures)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After some debate about which film to see first for Barbenheimer, it seemed that the general consensus online was to start with <em>Oppenheimer<\/em>. A gruelling biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, Christopher Nolan\u2019s <em>Oppenheimer<\/em> is simply an audiovisual masterpiece. The trinity bomb test sequence is something my brain (and eardrums) will likely not forget anytime soon. Perhaps as impressive as an explosion created entirely without CGI, the scenes of the characters simply conversing in rooms were, surprisingly, just as magnetic and engaging. Anchored by Cillian Murphy\u2019s incredible performance, the psyche of Oppenheimer was fully explored as he grappled with what he had unleashed upon the world. Although some scenes weren\u2019t entirely necessary, for me the three-hour runtime hardly felt like a slog to get through.<\/p>\n<p>I was left buzzing from the film\u2019s final moments, and it was only when the credits began to roll that I realised watching <em>Oppenheimer<\/em> first was the wrong move. This was a movie that\u2019d stick with you and leave your head swimming with thoughts about what you\u2019d just seen. With only 20 minutes between the two showings, I had to reel myself in to get into the headspace for <em>Barbie<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>The emotional core of <em>Barbie<\/em> lands, despite being slightly heavy-handed<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_197272\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-197272\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-197272 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-barbie-still.jpg\" alt=\"barbenheimer barbie still\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-barbie-still.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-barbie-still-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-barbie-still-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-197272\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling gave terrific performances in <i>Barbie<\/i> (Image: Warner Bros.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The opening narration and homage to <em>2001: A Space Odyssey<\/em> was the perfect introduction to the campy, self-aware nature of <em>Barbie<\/em>. The production of this film alone \u2013 with full sets and practical effects \u2013 was great to see coming alive on-screen. Greta Gerwig turned a madcap adventure into a rumination on what it\u2019s like to be a woman. Weaving the spectacle of Barbieland with the issues of the real world was wonderfully done, with both the laughs and emotional beats hitting the spot. Although there were times when the message of the film felt a bit heavy-handed, it was understandable in the context. Moreover, the performances from Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrara were standouts and fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>I think seeing <em>Barbie<\/em> in the theatres was worth it for the experience of being in a room with people in pink, all appreciating something together. I thought it was a creative film that knew exactly what it wanted to be. However, I do believe that although I enjoyed Barbie, it would\u2019ve been a fuller experience if I didn\u2019t have any leftover weight from <em>Oppenheimer<\/em>. While my order for Barbenheimer may not have been correct, I think I was still able to engage with the film and leave with a smile.<\/p>\n<h3>So, here\u2019s my final verdict on Barbenheimer<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_197273\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-197273\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-197273 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-cinema.jpg\" alt=\"barbenheimer cinema\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-cinema.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-cinema-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/barbenheimer-cinema-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-197273\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Barbenheimer or not, head to the cinema and watch these films! (Photography: Krists Luhaers via Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you decide to embark on the double feature, I highly recommend watching <em>Barbie<\/em> before <em>Oppenheimer<\/em>. Even if you can\u2019t watch both in a row, find some time to watch them separately. Upon finishing Barbenheimer, I found it hard to pick which one I liked better. Both were completely different examples of great films, so I felt that a direct comparison wouldn\u2019t be fair. That being said, I feel <em>Oppenheimer<\/em> is a good cinema experience that allows the audience to appreciate how amazing a film\u2019s sounds and visuals can be. Barbie, meanwhile, does well in the theatres by delivering the classic joy of a shared experience \u2013 being able to watch an entertaining movie that strikes a chord with everyone.<\/p>\n<p>As an avid fan of the cinema, I appreciate the Barbenheimer phenomenon, because it\u2019s made people eager to watch movies. It\u2019s a delight to see that an R-rated, three-hour-long biopic and a woman-directed film based on a doll have, together, brought people out in droves to the theatres. Since I often go to the cinema by myself, I\u2019d forgotten how fun it was to go to a packed theatre with my friends. While I\u2019m unsure about attempting Barbenheimer again \u2013 even if it\u2019s in the \u201cright\u201d order \u2013 its effect has certainly renewed my love of going to the movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it\u2019s convenient to stream any movie at home nowadays \u2013 be it a Hong Kong classic, an LGBTQ+ film, or a 90s favourite \u2013 it often pales in comparison to seeing a film on the big screen.
