Wow. This movie is very little about Trinity, it's all about the 'Beyond' and it is balls to the wall nuclear madness. After watching it what's most amazing to me is that we are still here. I don't think 1 in a thousand people are aware how many nuclear bombs have been exploded in the atmosphere, under the sea and space. I sure didn't. Most people think of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - the United States alone tested hydrogen bombs 331 times, the film doesn't mention how many Russia and others have. That people haven't been in their path is besides the point, probably 500 nuclear blasts have occurred on this planet - makes me wonder about the alarming cancer rates we blame on so many other things.

It became madness, as the bombs became bigger and more destructive, knowing that each side could wipe civilization off the earth they kept building and setting them off when logic would tell you that there was no point.

The Chinese footage at the end is surreal, calvary horses wearing gas masks racing towards a mushroom cloud.

On the good side, there hasn't been a world war in 70 years because any world power knows the potential end game is mutual annihilation.
