That was an excellent one.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Purchased on Amazon pay to view: This series does not claim to be history, nor is it holding itself up as docudrama. While including precious little information about the Manhattan Project and "the Gadget", it freely uses fictional characters, situations and events to present a version of Peyton Place, Los Alamos, NM. I was frustrated by a story that goes round and round with ludicrous loopholes and twisted plotting. Fine production values and interesting players carry their parts well, but it goes and goes and goes with every possible plot hack and not too terribly much drama. Very sorry I bought it.

What a disappointment. I forced myself through every episode to see if it would improve. The Manhattan Project was apparently created by alcoholism, chain-smoking, affairs, and paranoia. And like 2 scientists.There are good performances and some parts of the story are interesting. But while J. Robert Oppenheimer appears and some well- known scientists are mentioned, where is Enrico Fermi, Mark Oliphant and Edward Teller? Could have had a whole running gag on Richard Feynman's safe-cracking alone!There are many compelling docudramas that are educational and entertaining. This is not one of them.

American Indians, who were well settled in the region in which this series takes place historically, are shown in this series in such a sad and disrespectful way, in a racist way, it is unacceptable. Perhaps the so-called writers here are going for a "flavour of the times" approach, which of course points to a desire for "accuracy"..like the endless smoking of the characters in this series. Yet, it is troubling, disturbing and needs to be called out. As to accuracy, I have seen a lot of mistakes in the history, a lot of "fantasy" scenes that are very inaccurate. I am, I believe, quite well informed on the history of "the Bomb", and this series is disturbing. I am not sure at all it is a good idea. Even so, it is well written and very well acted. The direction could be much better. The photography is tedious and not skillful. Are we all thinking it is a good idea to take one of the most questionable endeavors in all of human history and make a fiction/drama of that history? Mr. Oppenheimer has been on the screen only a few times; his persona shown in this series also seems somewhat racist, a caricature of Jewish stereotypes that does not seem right to me. The making of the world's first atomic weapon is a story that, by now, has clearly slipped into the early stages of mythology, as fictions, projections, and might have been scenarios accumulate in the minds of writers and producers charged with telling this story. It may be far to important to hold closer to the facts than this series seems interested in doing, so I give it a low score for reasons of "incredulity".

I think it's already been said, started out promising but soon became tedious and contrived. A little bit like a undergraduate film using paint by numbers dramatic exercises. Simply forgetting the basics, that sub- plots have to be interesting and back up the main plot (which soon became secondary) and at least one of the characters has to be likable so you care what happens to them! I hate the kind of films that are say set in space and are about a serial killer, why bother? don't set a film in space if doesn't add anything to the story about a serial killer, likewise don't make a series about the most important event in human history and make it incidental to the story! a real shame as it had moments but no heart at all.
