Dwayne Johnson faced backlash online after comparing the visuals of his new holiday action film, Red One, to those of Oppenheimer. In a clip posted by IMAX, Johnson shared that he watched Oppenheimer in a theater where director Christopher Nolan prefers to sit, leading him to imagine Red One on an equally grand IMAX screen. He remarked that displaying Red One in such a format would be “game over.”
Social media users were quick to react, with many fans finding the comparison far-fetched. Some critics on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out that Red One currently holds a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a stark contrast to Oppenheimer’s 93% approval rating. This has sparked a mix of reactions, with some fans accusing Johnson of being “delusional” for likening his Christmas-themed film to Nolan’s acclaimed biographical drama.
The Rock says when he went to see ‘OPPENHEIMER’ in IMAX, he chose to sit in the same seat that Christopher Nolan uses to watch his films.

While Red One won’t have the same wide IMAX release as Oppenheimer, audiences can soon judge for themselves when the film hits theaters.
