You are absolutely correct. People were already complaining that the movie was so long and jumpy as it was, there isn’t the time and attention span to go through detailed scenes of what was happening in Japan, what was happening in Europe, what was happening in Katnga where uranium was extracted, what was happening at most of the factories and other parts that went into making the atomic bomb.
It was a story about the titular individual Oppenheimer, and the people within his sphere of influence. Oppenheimer and his buddies would have next to no clue on any of these things. To say the uranium extraction process and history was ignored by the 3 hour movie on Robert Oppenheimer is not very substantial to me.
That’s fair. When I watched it I found myself wondering what was going on and who everybody was a lot of the time. As a sciency guy I recognized names but I definitely think it would have been nice to explore the surroundings of various aspects to projects.
Even though the Manhattan project wasn’t the goal of the movie as I said, some context on how an atomic bomb works definitely would have helped.

These kinds of articles are not about wanting to add to the runtime, just about providing extra context to the things portrayed in the movie.
