  • If you think Us gave UK the tech during ww2 then I question your research. The UK had independent research with “tube alloys” following the Frisch peierls memo from university of Birmingham (the original UK one not Alabama)

    The UK pushed the us to use its industrial might to followup their work on uranium. The Brits were leaders on explosive lens (albeit from work of an eventual soviet traitor) among others. Los Alamos was a collaboration of UK, Canada and US plus a few other allies. The UK then used "what they learnt " at Los Alamos to carry out their “high explosives” project while locked out in late 40s early 50s and only once they showed independant build of a thermonuclear (fison fusion) bomb in 52 were they allowed back in the 1952 mutual defence agreement.










  • Just a counter point I saw in analogue 70mm IMAX and found the frame rate caused flicker on my peripheral on some of the very white black and white scenes. So in some places the screen is bright white right to the edges and you catch a flicker. I wonder if digital would be the same or not.

    That said both some of the effects and seeing the faces in larger than life close up.made it an amazing experiences. Also.the sound is as important as visual and the theatre I went to had amazing sound from shake your heart base to surround to great central speaker for dialog.
