I can suspend my disbelief in a sci-fi movie, or in a good comedy. As long as the world portrayed is consistent with itself, I have no problem.
But when a movie that pretends be a cautionary tale of what may happen, presents an implausible plot, the only thing I can do is laugh.
MINOR SPOILER: The movie starts with a fighter/bomber plane carrying an atomic bomb that crashes and somehow no one searches for it. Anywhere in this world a plane crash would lead to a search & rescue being sent, especially when the stakes are so high. Not in this movie. END SPOILER.
The characters are underdeveloped and cliched. Everything is pure Hollywood. The movie doesn't even point out that in the event of a nuclear war, it doesn't matter who strikes first, since immediately after the launch the other side would launch their missiles too, so in the end there are no winners, only losers.
