      @@getreal2592 It’s not all about resolution. It’s more about increased field of view resulting in pure immersion. Pooler IMAX is where I viewed this, and the screen is 101 feet wide by 76.2 feet tall. That’s nearly 7,700 square feet of screen real estate. Sitting in the dead center, the screen was so large that it engulfed my field of view and even left room for my peripheral vision. It really was like some sort of weird headset free VR experience. In fact, it was so immersive that at times, my brain/eyes were fooled into thinking that I was seeing three-dimensionally, almost as if there was a sense of depth of field.
      So yes, actually, it would most certainly change how the explosion looks, feels, hell even tastes, smells, sounds etc lol. Respectfully, I believe you’re terribly misinformed on this. But don’t take my word for it, experience it for yourself and tell me how it goes!

      ​@dawica I think in the movie it seemed like a moment of beauty in the chaos, almost like something divine in a much more literal sense. I actually like the direction they took and I think it would have been much more generic if it was just a huge loud explosion. The moments of silence with it igniting and lighting up the land for far stretches was pretty insane in its own right. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I can see how this might be a let down especially for people used to Christopher Nolan's bombastic moments like in Interstellar with the waves or docking sequence
      After the tension build up, I thought the silence then shockwave hitting like a jumpscare was a great choice. I guess I feel like the explosion sequence they went with fit with the rest of the movie a lot better. Contemplative mixed with bombastic

      Ye but unfortunately Nolan has too much self pride to not use CGI or even use digitally enchanced footage of this original Trinity test footage. Im sure he and his team made their best to create big explosion using just regular explosives but the matter of fact is you can never mimic nuclear explosion with regular explosives. The shape and size of the fireball is something that is impossible to re create with ordinary explosives

      And then they sprayed a barrel of gasoline into the air to fake a mushroom cloud.

      The initial blast is so hot it only produces x-rays which are invisible to typical cameras and need specialized equipment to form an image (we use telescopes that can pick up x-ray now to peer into nebula and dust clouds etc for example) so the camera is only able to pick it up after the fireball cools to emit "visible" light which does happen very quickly, its likely the video starts at that moment however I could be wrong.

      I think Nolan made a mistake relying on practical effects. CGI mixed with practical explosives could have created a moment that devasted the audience with the awesome apocalyptic power of the bomb, what we got instead really felt like a gimmick of a small explosion being made to look like a large one.
      I think colorizing this footage and splicing it in would have been more powerful a visual than what he gave us.
      Fortunately the visual of Trinity Test itself is not necessarily that important a part of the film, which is less about the explosion itself than what it means for humanity.

Definitely birds, though it might look like flying debris on a smaller screen and/or lower res. Judging by their apparent size as compared to the fireball, they are much closer to the camera than the explosion, which is certainly many, many miles away. They very well could have survived the blast, though they were probably exposed to some amount of fallout since Trinity was a surface detonation.

To answer your question, the third sequence was pointed upwards towards some barrage balloons. The distance from Ground Zero was 9140 meters (All three sequences were from 9140 meters.) but unfortunately (and maddeningly) the altitude of the barrage balloons was not given, so I cannot tell you what the vertical angle for the camera was.
      According to the information on that other video, the camera speed was 119 frames per second, so assuming that RUclips is running at the usual 24 frames per second, the video would be (I think) slow-motion by a factor of almost 5x.

    "I am become Death,. Destroyer of worlds.""-Robert Oppenheimer, quoting from the Bhagavad Gita.
    Can you imagine being up and seeing and hearing it from a distance, wondering "WTF was that?!"

    I see a bunch of people watching this and comparing it to Oppenheimer. Just shows how conditioned a lot of people are to consuming Hollywood's trash and calling it "good" because all the reviews they see tell them they are supposed to think it is good. Oppenheimer came across like it was researched, written, and produced by high schoolers. Fat Man and Little Boy told the story so much better.

      You must be one of those r3tards that think there is only fine dinner or Mc donnalds , when people are complaining that the HISTORICAL footage is better than your shitty michael bar pyrotechnic then the problem is not them but the movie.

    A cena mais impactante do filme foi momentos antes da detonação, o meu coração ficou. A mil se tivesse mandado no filme está cena seria mais top que a original

      os rojão que eu solto aqui em casa são mais forte que essa recriação do nolan. Quebrou totalmente o clima do filme, a grande "destruídora de mundos" parecia aquelas bombinha trak que vc compra no 1.99, e das mais vagabundas ainda
