Chernobyl: The Invisible Enemy

Nothing about reasons, nothing about chronology, nothing about guilty. Just "omg, this is huge disaster" during 1h...

Some alright footage but loads of misinformation in this mockumentary. Put it on mute and sing the Russian national anthem in your head and you'll be better off.

Some excellent footage here as another poster noted, however, none of it is in any kind of order and is often repeated. I was expecting some kind of in depth Docu but from the start it's really hard to understand where they are going with it. It's almost like they found the footage but didn't bother to put to organise it at all; it just seems random. Add to this a script that sounds like a school boy wrote it (dramatic framing, single sentences, no actual information), has no bearing on what is happening on screen and its just painful to watch.

This "documentary" is an arduous look at random and unidentifiable footage that is often repeated throughout. Russian voice over are not translated, nor are any writings that are shown - but are included for... drama? The slow, and deliberate narration sounds like a report written by a sixth grader. There are many drone shots and satellite shots of the site and surrounding area that do not include any labels or orientation details. Documentary fail, 100%!! Expect a little more from your audience, and give us something we can actually learn.

The movie includes serious inconsistencies such as: 1) the accident was during a routine check (no, it was a planned test), 2) Hundreds of helicopters were sent at place to throw concrete but were not effective because they were melting(!) (it was radiation that dropped one helicopter). A lot of footage is used over and over, more than 10 times in the first 10 minutes.
