CommentsXp Best movie ever!

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

papamac630 I remember when this movie was first shown on HBO...it had the kind of gripping action that made you sit, watch, and fear for your life...the actors did a great job of realistically portraying their roles...with special kudos to Patrick Watson as Don Tobin and Helen Shaver as Dorian Waldorf...Watson's uneasiness at the end of the movie does not spoil the ending, which will set the hair on your neck straight up and send chills down your spine...but it does provide a view into what might face the American public should the unthinkable occur...add this movie to the growing list of selections that should have been out on DVD way before now...it is dated to some extent, but the overall premise still rings true...and will scare the daylights out of you...

path501 I think this was one of the most captivating and well thought out "Doomsday" movies ever made...does anyone have any clue as to where I can find this movie in 2006?I always think of the ending when the aircraft is flying through the myriad of mushroom clouds and think to myself that it would be an awesome spectacle to see something like that in reality. Of course I do not think I would want to experience it first hand, but just imagining the magnitude of it just boggles my mind, especially with the yield of our bombs being a hundred times more than what they were depicted as in this film, and the others, like "The Day After", and "Threads"My Ex-Wife has the only copy, that I know of, on video tape, and she cannot, or will not part with it...and I was just hoping that HBO or some other entity has had the urge to mass produce this work of art.

smacdonl2001 It's low budget and a little out of date BUT PLEASE tell me where I can get a copy in DVD or VHS video! HBO the network which I believe I saw the movie back in the 1980's does not seem to support marketing the film so a good recommendation for a movie unavailable to the general public maybe a waste.Now the movie.....The parts which seem to be "real" include small intentional technical flaws which just add to the realism. Using know newscasters just make it all the more believable. Reminded me a great deal of the film The missiles of Octoberbut with better scenery and acting.

whosbusiness I got up late one night and turn on the telly. I watched in disbelief that soviet troops had entered west Germany, and the nuclear issue was being waved about.The crosses to an air craft carrier that was actively hunting a Russian sub made me wonder what was going on. Who do I call?. This can't be real, even though we have been trained by the media to trust what the news channels tell us. This can't be happening, the super powers have been getting along fine, but what would it take to start a war. Could world war 3 break out, be fought,be won or lost in a flash. Maybe it was because I was tired and came in part way into the movie, but I got an insight into how those listening to H.G Well's original radio production of War of the worlds must have felt. Never been so glad for an ad break.
