Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Kamran09 The film is simply not as emotionally involved as the famous animated films from Japan are (i.e. Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen). Interesting for a glance at 50's animation but not for an informative viewing of the usage of atomic bombs.

MartinHafer At first it's hard to understand what this film is all about, as you see some crudely drawn animals looking up to the sky at some object. Then, people see it as well--and very bad things happen.When this short film began, I was completely unimpressed. After all, the animation was a bit crude--sort of like the drawings of Ezra Jack Keats or Eric Carle brought to animated life. If you are into that, great--but I wasn't. However, I am glad I did not give up on the film, as it had an incredibly powerful message--one you can't ignore or dismiss. In its own way, it gave a super-powerful message about the destruction and futility of nuclear war. Apparently, it was such a powerful message that Peter Foldes' short film was shown on prime time in America--something rather unprecedented. See the film and understand what I mean.
