Title: An Atomic Dud
Product review: Greatly disappointed by this purchase, and certainly would never call this a documentary. Instead, it is a collection of footage with no timeline, context, nor reason. The producer seems content to move from test to test, providing absolutely no understanding of the public, US political, or international forces leading to these amazing tests; there is no attempt to understand how these tests shaped any US or international policies. Instead, it appears the US atomic testing program was conducted by a bunch of curious, "Gee, let's try this, Verne" nuclear hackers with no accountability to anyone but themselves.Sorry - maybe I've been spoiled by BBC and PBS quality documentaries. But "Atomic Journeys" is no journey at all. More like a childish merry-go-round.
