Movie Reviews of Hollywood's Top Secret Film Studio
Movie Review: 3-1/2 stars, but I would buy Kuran's 3-pack DVD instead
Summary: 3 Stars
This film was interesting but I was expecting more based upon the topic and the item description. I thought my best and most interesting buy from Amazon by the same director (Kuran) was a 3-pack that included Atomic Bomb Movie, Atomic Journeys and Nukes in Space. I bought this single DVD to compliment the 3-pack, but it was a bit of a let down. Get the 3-pack.

Their work is among the most spectacular even captured on film.From the Nevada desert to remote Pacific atolls to outer space, these top secret Filmmakers developed advanced techniques and methods to create their fantastic movies. They made 6,500 films and many were locked away as soon as they were viewed by a handful of government officials.
