| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. Leeperthe right issues at the right time, but it is at least in part the wrong film to bring those issues to public attention |
| User ReviewJustin Fjust a little too "plain" for something so real yet, that's what kind of makes this movie scary is the reality that this will happen, it's just a matter of time, but the film remains to portray the "normal" life of humanity seeming to go about it's business... |
| User ReviewAllen GThe forgotten bomb discusses a very real issue, but losses credibility by being biased, wildly speculative, and at times flat inaccurate. One of the worst inaccuracies comes when his interviewee asserts that the use of radiation in medicine was brought about by the government trying to show the beneficial side of radiation. That's funny, I could have sworn medical use of radiation predates the manhattan project (first x-ray 1896, first cancer treatment 1933). I guess the government has time travel too. |
