Deeply fascinating and haunting look at mankind's early tinkering with nukes. Has one of the best scores ever for a documentary. It loses some steam in the latter half, but ends on an appropriately ambiguous and foreboding note.

Impressive footage and music give this documentary a huge power, but lack of the historical and technical facts makes this impression fade away at the end.

A very decent documentary about the development and testing of atom bombs. It has some quality video footage and very fitting epic music by the Moscow symphony orchestra.

While the combination of beautiful music and awesome destruction is entertaining, I feel like Trinity and Beyond offers little beyond the pageantry.

Humanity at its worst. This documentary is a collection of archive footage, narrated by Shatner, with a couple of interviews thrown in for good measure. More fun than reading wikipedia, but cinematicly empty, just dry information.

Nuclear war is the scariest thing ever. I'm confinced after this docu, if I wasn't before. Those bombs are scary as fuck, and now I see how close the nuclear war in the 80's was.. Jesus

A doc (narrated by William Shatner) about atomic weapon testing and development from 1945 to about 1965. There's a few fascinating things to be learned, and the footage is impressively horrifying (I wonder if my 80's nuclear nightmares will come back tonight). But it quickly becomes mighty repetitive. Too much of it is simply the cataloging of locations and dates for different tests. The film really needs more of a human perspective.

It should have either been chock-full of details or no narration, instead they went with the middle ground.
