[The Prisoner]

Yeah no big loss to miss it at the theatres. I'd have much rather watched it at home on my big flat screen with a beer and a pool break in between.

Also I was expecting the best and most realistic movie depiction of a nuclear explosion but didn't get that. You're better off going on Youtube and watching the color-corrected and upscaled nuclear test footage from the US and Soviets. Fascinating and scary power. I forget which scientist wrote about it, but when the Trinity test went off, the light was so blindingly bright he saw through his elbow with his eyes and saw his own bones and joints in perfect detail. And you get hit with a crazy amount of heat at the same time due to all the different types of radiation which travels at light speed and instantly heat up the air. Then he looked up out of his elbow and saw a brilliant bluish/purplish light (not just pure white like how it's in movies) that faded into yellow flames and the mushroom cloud as the heat kept growing. Then after many seconds was he hit with a massive shockwave and a ton of dust flying everywhere.

Movie did it no justice whatsoever.

Here’s a good interactive site if you haven’t seen it
