Return of the Atom Audience Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Alan-Peery From an article at the BBC titled "Is Nordic humour too dark for the rest of the world":Men and Chicken premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this year – as did Return of the Atom, a bleakly humorous Finnish documentary about life in a town that has received the first European nuclear reactor since Chernobyl. The problem, according to its directors, Mika Taanila and Jussi Eerola, was that they weren't sure if the public outside the Nordic countries would realise it was supposed to be funny.http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20151012-is-nordic-humour-too-dark- for-the-rest-of-the-world
teekoofin Documents represents TVO OL3 story on high level, but does not dig into details. The document was published in 2015 but for some reason, it doesn't tell anything about years 2011-2015. Do not expect to see any hard science, statistics, fair debate or anything. This document is more art than science. Most of nuclear power critic is represented by former TVO engineer Arto Lauri. Arto Lauri is a well known conspiracy theorist in the scene. His theories exceeds barriers of today's science. A very careful listener can notice these theories in this document too. Document doesn't give anyone opportunity to respond Arto Lauri's claims.I expected that this document would: - analyze why OL3 budged and timetable failed so much - discuss economical impact of nuclear power in Eurajoki - contain creditable debate between pro and anti-nuclear peopleThis document failed miserably my expectations. This is not a (science) document. This is something else.
