I just found this online and I gave up after 25-30 minutes. It's nothing but childlike animation and an unseen narrator telling the stories. The stories could have been interesting if they had been acted out or at least told by witnesses. But this was basically the 'books on tape' version with some shoddy graphics. Hard pass on this one. NOT recommended!

I Just Got CGI'ed to Death!!!
gmartanella31 October 2021
Audio & narration are excellent,
the information is accurate but for a visual presentation
this movie is a Chernobyl.
You can't hold an audience when 90% of your presentation consists of amateur CGI of cited events.
Except on rare occasions, images and video still rule human interest.
CGI does best as a supplement, not a means.
If a mistake was made in this effort, that's the one that was made with this particular movie.
The Internet is loaded with images and videos of most events in this movie. Why the producers didn't insert them is puzzling. Maybe they are concerned about copyright issues, I don't know.
