Angels & Demons & Antimatter
The movie Angels & Demons has five fictionalized minutes filmed inside of ATLAS. Using Hollywood magic, they create great drama beyond that which physicists know how to depict. They even show the control room window looking at the detector (whereas it is actually on the surface). Even more amazing, they claim to show ATLAS creating and storing antimatter! While that is fantasy, the collision event they show within the detector is beautiful. There are four clips listed at: http://atlas.ch/angels/
