‘Atomic Blonde’ Is The Year’s Coolest Movie, Inscrutable Plot Be Damned

Charlize Theron plays a super-spy in this adaptation of a 2012 graphic novel.

Computers can produce stunning images, but there’s a lingering novelty to staging adventures by hand. That’s why the orange wasteland in “Mad Max: Fury Road” won six tech Oscars; more recently, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Baby Driver” and “Dunkirk” have employed DIY setups ― real explosions, real car stunts, real plane crashes. This weekend, “Atomic Blonde,” starring Charlize Theron as a high-level spy operating in Berlin immediately before the Wall comes down, joins their ranks.
