Movie Reviews of The Atomic Cafe
Movie Review: Useful teaching tool
Summary: 3 Stars
As a teacher, I found the collection of historic video documents helpful. The clips found in this docudrama are obsolete and hard to come by. The writers of this "movie" inject a sense of humor as well as a good dose of irony.Movie Review: Dr Strangelove without the creativity, script, etc.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a cult flick, won't argue it. It's also overly long, often boring and even though it's using no original material whatsoever, the juxtapositions and thematic polarization of what is used often combine into the pretentious and overbearing. If you're IQ is above 120 or so, expect to have your intelligence frequently insulted (the nudge, nudge variety of "get it? get it? isn't nuclear war bad? ain't these people creepy?" underlying messages). It can't touch the depth of a, say, Koyanisqatsi. Over-rated.Movie Review: Not funny
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeah, those folks in the 50's sure were paranoid and gullible. Ha ha. How anyone could possibly think that the subject of nuclear holocaust and the fear thereof could be milked for a few laughs is pathetic. But even if this film was entirely based on a fictional threat the vast majority of its fitful stabs at humor require a deeper state of inebriation than I would care to endure.
