Review of Countdown to Zero (2010) by Allen B — 20 May 2011
Decent, occasionally scary doc made good due to its interesting alarmist subject matter, and rightly so, probably. The editing is kind of all over the place, though, and some transitions/visual metaphors are ham-fisted or don't otherwise make sense.
Old footage of Oppenheimer talking into the camera about his creation are some of the most chilling; he has such a unique look, and his eyes are so cold and off-putting, and the stuff he says, man. Scary.
See it.
