The Bomb is a headlong-rush past the milestones and guideposts of this history, rarely pausing to explore their deeper consequences or meaning, while offering just a nod now and then to enduring controversies, or acknowledging--though barely exploring--the huge personalities that shaped this history, such as Robert Oppenheimer. The actual science is almost completely ignored.

The documentary entails a lot of great vintage (and remastered) footage but is vague on most of the historical issues and details. Don't get me wrong, it is very interesting and makes some good points about the danger of the bomb; but in my opinion something was missing.
