Dwayne Johnson had an epiphany while he was watching Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer in IMAX that shaped the release of his Christmas movie Red One.

It hasn't been the easiest couple of years for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and the pro wrestler and Hollywood A-Lister has been mocked on social media for linking his Oppenheimer experience to Red One.

Dwayne Johnson, aka 'The Rock', shared his reaction to Oppenheimer at IMAX ahead of the release of his new movie, Red One

While the actor’s enthusiasm for 'Red One’s visuals is understandable, his comparison to 'Oppenheimer' has not gone over well with movie buffs

Dwayne Johnson said a screening of “Oppenheimer” in Imax inspired him to make sure his new Christmas action movie, “Red One,” would be able to play in the premium large format. Johnson sat in the same Imax screening room that Christopher Nolan uses to screen his movies and was blown away by “Oppenheimer.

Dwayne Johnson has recently revealed that the inspiration behind releasing his upcoming movie Red One in IMAX was none other than Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The upcoming Jake Kasdan directorial features Chris Evans and JK Simmons alongside Johnson.

Dwayne Johnson is pleased with his latest movie, Red One, and believes it should be released on Imax screens like Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. In an interview, the Black Adam actor said that he watched Nolan’s World War II epic in the same Imax screening room the director uses to screen his films.

As with The Rock‘s in-ring persona, an IMAX screen is seemingly larger than life. This week marks the release of the Christmas action-adventure Red One, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The film itself will be available for viewing on standard movie screens,
