On the heels of “Oppenheimer” another biopic about the events of WWII. Unfortunately this one chooses to go back and forth in time, 1945 to 1919 to 1933 to 1895 to 1921 and so forth. It would have worked much better chronologically.
And Einstein’s theories are dumbed down to the point of absurdity.
Period footage is mixed with actor portrayals which further removes the viewer from investing in the story. There was a lot of moralizing about Germany expelling or locking up (or worse) their world-class Jewish scientists and intellectuals.
I bailed before the halfway mark.
