Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie (1995)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Expected more

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Blinding film about blowing up things really big things,eg islands in the sun. Its a film about three countries (USA,USSR,UK) who each try to out do each other on the fireworks display but a 4th country out does them all right at the end by setting one off and than riding into it on horse back with a sword and a horse with a mask now beat that. You cant can you.Personally although the ending was good i would of preferred to of seen the USSR try and fire one of those huge mummas at the moon to the tune of come on baby light my fire try to set the night on fireeeeee.But i would still recommend it. My favourite bit was when the bomb went boom.When do we have to wait for the sequel, do we have to wait for Iran to finish.

Many people have commented on this movie, giving it a bad review because it does not contain gory and shocking images from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This says a great deal about our audience today. The movie industry has spoiled us with blood and gore to the point where that is all we want to see. No, this doesn't have the blood and horror that some are looking for. Others on here have said that it is missing all of the shocking tests and terrible things that the government did long ago to people and animals. No, it does not contain that either. That being said, if you are looking for gory and disturbing, rent something else or just get archived footage of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki aftermath. If you are looking for a government conspiracies, go rent the X-Files and don't waste your time here.This movie is about the atomic bomb and its development. It has a brilliant score alongside William Shatner narrating. It is a collection of wonderfully remastered footage of many of our nuclear tests. I think this film really illustrates the horrific and terrifying beauty of an atomic bomb. I would dare say that it is art piece that gave me chills at the thought of what this device could do. Like I said, there is little to no gore or shocking footage so it would be safe for young people to watch and understand what these devices are and how unimaginable the repercussions of using this device. It is easy for young people to lose appreciation for such things as new video games and computer games have "nukes" to throw back and forth at the enemy without any real consequences.The only downside I found to this film is, though it presented itself as non-biased throughout most of it, it did leave an overtone of "The US is responsible and stopped using them for testing while other countries still do and they are poisoning the world..." It never comes out and says that, but it seems to allude to it when showing China's nuclear test after the US had banned atmospheric testing. Of course, like most of this review, it is only my opinion.

What makes this film so interesting is that it shows many previously classified films of exploding atomic bombs during US testing in the 1940s and 1950s; as well as the test sites, equipment and key players. Also of interest are clips of military and public information films from the era.Much of this information is here made accessible to the public for the first time, which makes it all the more pity that many of the films have been cleverly edited by the filmmaker to increase the "wow" factor. For example, the GRABLE test from 1953 has been edited to the point of being misleading; the time from the firing of the tactical shell from the gun, to the its detonation several miles away has been cut from the 19 seconds in the original footage, to just 9 seconds in this film, so that it times nicely with the music. It gives the impression that the shell explodes much sooner than it actually did in reality.There are other similar artistic licenses taken, and the result for me, is that, though the documentary has some awesome shots, it's less interesting than it might have been.Technical information about the bombs is kept to a bare minimum, and often we are left wondering how, why and what happened next; and having William Shatner do the narration doesn't help...

Even if it's suppose to have unclass documentary, nothing is new in this movie. And I find it a lot boring. I'm sure they are a lot more video but Army prefer hide them again (and forever).Image of this movie are not restaured and bad. Also we learn nothing just how human are idiot! Well explosion inside the movie are a lot bigger than the movie itself. But maybe people who never see Atomic Bomb explosion will like. But again image are bad. I don't recommend this movie to anybody. I give it 2/10.Better you search on internet to see better image. And learn more. This movie is a lot bad !
