      Nuclear Now

      Released Apr 28, 2023 1h 46m Documentary TRAILER for Nuclear Now: Trailer 1 List
      75% 12 Reviews Tomatometer 84% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score As fossil fuels continue to cook the planet, the world is finally becoming forced to confront the influence of large oil companies and tactics that have enriched a small group of corporations and individuals for generations. Beneath our feet, Uranium atoms in the Earth's crust hold incredibly concentrated energy--science unlocked this energy in the mid-20th century, first for bombs and then to power submarines and the United States led the effort to generate electricity from this new source. Yet in the mid 20th century as societies began the transition to nuclear power and away from fossil fuels, a long-term PR campaign to scare the public began, funded in part by coal and oil interests. This campaign would sow fear about harmless low-level radiation and create confusion between nuclear weapons and nuclear power. With unprecedented access to the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the United States, iconic director Oliver Stone explores the possibility for the global community to overcome challenges like climate change and reach a brighter future through the power of nuclear energy--an option that may become a vital way to ensure our continued survival sooner than we think.

      Robert Abele Los Angeles Times A blah format so beholden to dry narration over cascading archival footage. Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Brandon Yu New York Times The film’s aversion to formal or rhetorical bombast as it discusses scientists’ hopes for a better future is its own balm. Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety [An] intensely compelling, must-see documentary... Oct 12, 2022 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily It’s a hard watch, being dominated by Stone’s dense, monotonous voice-over and featuring scientists with next to no screen presence. Nevertheless, it puts forward a lot of unexpected proposals about nuclear energy, debunking powerful myths along the way. Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Michael J. Casey Boulder Weekly “We’ve run out of time to be afraid.” Rated: 3/5 Jul 13, 2023 Full Review John Serba Decider [Stone] praises the spirit of progress and the human mind’s capability for ingenuity, concluding on an upbeat note, and maybe crafting a new narrative about Stone himself: instead of being his old divisive self, he’s trying to unite us for a common cause.

      Dennis good synopsis of current state of the energy mix and climate crisis. Not an in-depth review and overly optimistic considering the timelines. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review Greg B Fantastic and inspirational account of our past and future in the fight against climate change. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review Peter W Informative and emotional. Nuclear is the only option to provide a base load instead of coal. Wind and solar are great complements, but can't provide the necessary power output 24/7. The film is accessible and explains the trade offs in a clear way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Tony G most important documentary of the century Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Thoki and Nathan M This is a very inspiring and well made documentary. It clearly lays out the nuclear energy option as one of our only potential sustainable saving grace options to actually stop or slow climate change. Truly a must watch film right now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/23 Full Review Chris A I heard Oliver Stone interviewed on Breaking Points and paid the $3.99 on Amazon Prime Video to watch it. I might buy it for $12. It's on all the services. YouTube, etc. It was sober, somber, education, calm, informative, and tried not to insult the other energy forms but showed how there's been a lot of misinformation about nuclear power and how a lot of people have been confused about the bomb or how radiation might be more dangerous than coal, gas, pollution, climate change, oil, etc (it's never been—not even Chernobyl or Fukushima). It pleads it's case and begs for your support. It never bashes you over the head. Support this movie, support Oliver Stone. He's brave and the definition of heterodox hero. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
