Oppenheimer: The Real Story

Ultra low budget documentary. Looks it was filmed with an iPhone and a crew of 2. Lots of historical footage and interviews with few people about the guy. The story was told well and was interesting and for a documentary it was too boring. My wife fell asleep in ten. It took me almost an hour. It did take me several more days to finish it Still I recommend the documentary before the movie. Good opportunity to refresh on historical events in chronological order and get the know the man biography. They could have told the story in an hour instead of ninety eight minutes. Or they could have made more effort to talk about similar programs overseas in comparison.

This documentary is a much needed and appreciated balance to the recent film. It fulfills the task of filling in other aspects and experiences of Oppenheimer's complex and profound life. The film was very well produced and enacted and brings many important revelations to bear; however, it is limited in some respects just by the very nature of the film medium. The documentary OPPENHEIMER; THE REAL STORY is able to go beyond those limits and adds many important specifics and perspectives, not only on Oppenheimer's life, i.e. His personal story, but sheds light on the social and historical circumstances of the birth, development and future risks of the nuclear age. We are also given more details regarding the actual achievements and amazing accomplishments of the project at Los Alamos. This documentary is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This movie is horrendous. Cheaply produced, terrible quality, messages repeated over and over again. None if the interviewees seemed like authority figures - just various folks that had probably done a bit of research the day before filming.

Undoubtedly edited on a dated iMac using iMovie.

At one part they tryed to recreate a burial at sea. Apparently they didn't have an urn to perform the reenactment. So, they just threw an old black propane cylinder into the water - to, I guess, give you the general idea.

Was this an attempt to cash in on the upcoming feature film? Undoubtedly.

Don't waste your money.

This is almost word for word from Wikipedia - not very good research!! I was reading Wikipedia while watching the show and noticed the narration was nearly identical. I always was taught it was plagiarism unless you referenced your sources and researched on your own.

Would've been more helpful to research themselves and write using different sources.

The film and narration was somewhat boring and simple.

Since the Oppenheimer movie came out, it seems like there are more shows and documentaries coming on streaming about Oppenheimer. Everybody seems to be jumping on the bandwagon and it worked for me because I wanted to learn more about the real man before watching the movie as usually they take artistic license and add events that aren't real.

Disappointing and not well written or researched.

And would've appreciated a more known person as a narrator.

With this coming out at the release of the wonderful feature film, the title falsely suggests that the real story wasn't told in the Nolan movie.

In comparison to the. Oboe and modern production standards this looks rushed out without enough budget and time to go a good job. The quality of the photography looks like something from the 80s, the audio is all over the place and the pacing of the script is lumpen.

The only thing extra that gives you as far as context on Oppenheimer. It is early life and his life after the slice of time featured in the movie. I really feel I've had 98 minutes stolen from me.
