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.

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.

This documentary is a much needed and appreciated balance to the recent film. It fulfills the task of filling in other aspects and experiences of Oppenheimer's complex and profound life. The film was very well produced and enacted and brings many important revelations to bear; however, it is limited in some respects just by the very nature of the film medium. The documentary OPPENHEIMER; THE REAL STORY is able to go beyond those limits and adds many important specifics and perspectives, not only on Oppenheimer's life, i.e. His personal story, but sheds light on the social and historical circumstances of the birth, development and future risks of the nuclear age. We are also given more details regarding the actual achievements and amazing accomplishments of the project at Los Alamos. This documentary is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Those who try to analyze the psychology of a genius are fools, regardless of how much knowledge and what high degrees they have in psychology. Genius is entirely based on sensory, i.e., pure biology, and not at all on psychology. In fact, what makes a genius is extraordinary sensory and what defeats and destroys a genius is those of "normal" sensory, who are often skilled in psychoanalysis because that does not require much brain power. Those of "normal" sensory are the antidote of geniuses. They shame them into corners (e.g., Oppenheimer, Tesla), chase them running for their lives out of entire countries (e.g., Kepler, Einstein), drive them to suicide (e.g., Boltzmann) and often to madness (e.g., Newton).

Ultra low budget documentary. Looks it was filmed with an iPhone and a crew of 2. Lots of historical footage and interviews with few people about the guy. The story was told well and was interesting and for a documentary it was too boring. My wife fell asleep in ten. It took me almost an hour. It did take me several more days to finish it Still I recommend the documentary before the movie. Good opportunity to refresh on historical events in chronological order and get the know the man biography. They could have told the story in an hour instead of ninety eight minutes. Or they could have made more effort to talk about similar programs overseas in comparison.

This movie is horrendous. Cheaply produced, terrible quality, messages repeated over and over again. None if the interviewees seemed like authority figures - just various folks that had probably done a bit of research the day before filming. Undoubtedly edited on a dated iMac using iMovie. At one part they tryed to recreate a burial at sea. Apparently they didn't have an urn to perform the reenactment. So, they just threw an old black propane cylinder into the water - to, I guess, give you the general idea. Was this an attempt to cash in on the upcoming feature film? Undoubtedly. Don't waste your money.

I rarely give a 1-star rating, but it takes real skill to turn the exciting life of a world renowned genius into something more boring than watching a court hearing on CPSAN. How is this a 2023 production? Bad camera work, irrelevant stock footage shots, meandering dialogues, snail slow storyline, no animations, and a sleepy stock elevator soundtrack. Even a documentary needs a storyline/script beyond a chronological list of events, variation in content beyond interviews and landscape shots, a modern camera with quality lighting, and some kind of animations. If you want to see how this could be done with much less budget, check out "Why Oppenheimer Deserves His Own Movie" by Veritasium.

I love watching documentaries. This is not a documentary. It lacks facts and real insight. It is random speculation and innuendo. The people speaking seem to have no credibility or firsthand knowledge of Oppenheimer. I am embarrassed to have rented this movie. This could be "The Rocky Horror" of documentaries. It is so bad I made some toast and threw it at my TV! The guy with white hair is laughable. It is just his opinion. The bald guy with a beard says Oppenheimer was brutally abused at the Ethical School but then fails to elaborate. Story telling at its worst. At some point, one of the people says no one can understand quantum physics. Really? Just stupid.
