What started out to be an interesting thriller and caught my eye with strong images and great camera work fell apart rather quickly due to terrible directing, responsible for almost comical overacting, and a willfully ignorance of historical facts. While it's obvious sibling series Tschernobyl mastered the art of depicting the silent yet deadly threat of radioactivity, the suffering of people and the crippling despair of an overwhelming accident that had never before occurred; this movie just seemed like a parody of a story of heros that deserves to be told so much better. Three stars solely for the visuals.
