The Day After

This movie was essentially left-wing propaganda ... nothing more.
I thought it would be more entertaining, but it was more fantasy than fiction.

Only the blast scenes were worth watching ...
I bought this movie and became so grossly bored watching it that I still haven't finished it a year and a half later. Don't know if I ever will be interested enough to?

This is a typical piece of overrated '80s tripe. If you want a realistic portrait of a nuclear aftermath, watch "Threads" - now that's scary!

Let me raise a glass in toast to the filmmakers, and add my voice to the courageous chorus which sings, yes, nuclear war is a bad thing.

I saw this movie on TV when it first played and although it did depict a world of ruin I found this movie to be a bit on the "light" side of depicting the monstrous destruction and aftermath of nuclear war. None the less, the picture painted was one of which one hopes will never come to pass. In an instant, all that we are use to, all that we (should not) take for granted and all sense of civilization would be gone, suddenly leaving you in barbaric and primitive ages.

The movie was still good in it's presentation of the destruction from the blast and the beginning steps survivors would have to take in the aftermath. Would this be a life worth living? Would this be a world worth bringing new life into?

While from this standpoint in the new millennium, this movie may be entertainment, let it be an exhibit and a history lesson of how things would have been utterly and disdainfully different - if at all - had this event come to pass and what we stand to lose should it ever come to pass.

This movie was interesting to watch. The special effects are dated when compared to today's CGI for movies . The film contains some stock footage of nuclear testing. The plot is good, and there are a lot of actors/actresses in the movie who are still performing today. Overall, it is still a relevant film and shows possible scenarios after a nuclear attack.
