I was most surprised at how political this film was. It did not try to hide it's agenda like you sense from listening to BBC radio news, where only the facts that are relevant to their opinion are broadcast in a nice professional soothing manner. No, this film bashes you over the head with an agenda. What has the Catholic and Anglican Church got to do with World War 3? Well if you watch this movie, it seems they are the ones blessing a war! So is it a good re-enactment of nuclear war on England? I guess so, who can say, I would think it would be much worst. But it's political agenda minimizes any serious debate that it is a great film. The film demonizes NATO using tactical nukes if Berlin was overrun by the Eastern Bloc, well guess what, that's a flawed scenario to use because that's what prevented that from happening in the first place!
Still I applaud that this film was made as nuclear war is horrific and needs to be dramatized, now maybe more then ever. I would like to see the impartial BBC do a remake of this film relevant to today's world. They could quote Imam's and Iranian Mullahs and Leaders, and then show what Tehran would look like after a nuclear attack. That would do the world a great service, and hopefully wake up more Iranians from what their leaders are driving them into.
6 of 10 for the message that nuclear war is a no win situation, not a 10 of 10 because it's politically biased to a side that would have lost us the cold war if we had not stood tall.
