Leaves you wanting more...
This is more of a documentary more than a bomb movie. Specifically, it highlights all of the nuclear tests and there were some very interesting moments such as the craters and deep water explosions. But it failed to deliver a solid ending. There is absolutely no plot. Sure there was talk about nuclear test bans, treaties, and even the Chinese tests at the end of the movie, but it was like an essay paper with no main point.

ON MY TOP 10 LIST
Stunning. Awe inspiring. Scary (make that very scary). Riveting. Well made. In depth. A frightful reminder. I can't think of any reason why I would ever sell this DVD. The 3D bonus movie is cool too.

A visual history of Atomic tests.
This is an excellent visual history of the development of nuclear weapons. The original test of 100 tons of TNT is shown, which is the comparison test for all nuclear tests and explosions. The color footage is spectacular of the various shots. I bought this film specifically for the atomic cannon test; Upshot Knothole, Grable.

Trinity and Beyond is spectacular!
I had caught a glimpse of this movie on cable and knew immediately that I had to have it. The movie is eerie and powerful and the soundtrack adds such a punch it will move you. William Shatner narrates with a calm, matter-of-factness which only adds to the feeling of how the U.S. military
continually tested with no regard to the environment. We all understand how the U.S. needed to develop the bomb before the enemy did but, the amount of testing after the fact just feels like a boys-with-toys mentality. Enough with the political speech. It amazes me how something so destructive can be so beautiful and awesome. When they show the Thermo-nuclear tests you see the huge and eerie build-up just before the shockwave lets loose. Incredible! Also fascinating is the testing done in space. Check out the symetry of the reaction. I guess if aliens attack we know we can blow them up before they get into the atmosphere!
Check out this movie! You will not be disappointed!

Trinity and Beyond
The Atomic Bomb Movie is a stunning film as well as an informative documentary. We are shown the development of nuclear weapons and made aware of their power. There were many tests in the years after World War II, both in the Pacific Ocean and at the Nevada Test Site. Mushroom clouds have a beauty all their own, especially when accompanied by the music of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. Atmospheric tests eventually gave way to underground testing. There have been no tests at all since 1992. This is an all star cast if there ever was one.
