Oppenheimer: The Real Story

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.

Seriously, as I titled my review, watching paint dry would be more interesting. The individuals who narrate this documentary speak so slow or they continually pause as if they constantly lose their train of thought. This documentary was a snooze fest and it should be marketed as a sure cure for people with insomnia. It was reminiscent of those boring films we were forced to watch in science class. The material on Oppenheimer is super interesting but this documentary hired the most uninteresting British folks who spoke as if their voices were putting their faces to sleep. Their monotone descriptions of Oppenheimer's early days were as far as I could get. I had to turn this boring documentary off only 15 minutes in.

No thanks!!

The bad reviews came from people who refuse to admit to or confront the truth, it exposes the Republican Party for what it is. Oppenheimer' demise came during the Eisenhower administration which also, at the behest of Britain's Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, overturned the democratic government of Iran, so that the British could keep their oil rights.

With these people reviewing movies it makes it extremely hard to take anything that I see on your app believable. It seems as though he's reviewers were encouraged to downplay this documentary to give the new movie " Oppenheimer" coming out more plausibility.

J. Robert Oppenheimer is an interesting subject and so this documentary is interesting. But the Talking Heads spout a lot of conjecture. Actual facts were in short supply. I think they interview only one person that actually met Oppenheimer and they had no knowledge or contact from during or before Los Alamos. Curious I don't recall them mentioning when he was married and had kids until towards the end that he started visiting the Virgin Islands with his wife.

This easily could have been edited to under 30 minutes (from 98) without losing any real content.

If you really are interested in the high points (they don't go very in depth) of Oppenheimer's life and do not know any more than the fiction movie than it might be worth a watch. Otherwise there are much better biographies of his found on YouTube.

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.
