Oaklee D A devastating and thoroughly depressing film that is hard to watch at points, this film is as relevant now as it was when it first came out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review James R I love this movie so much! It has great animation, a nice story, it's well written, and it is highly emotional. Maybe it's just my bias toward movies having to do with nuclear weapons and stuff (I do love all things nuclear) this movie is a very great film and it doesn't need to be all action-packed or anything to work. I was entertained throughout the entire film. I'm not sure if everybody else was, but I was, and I just really like this movie. Anybody should definitely watch it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Ryan A Just superb. It keeps you thinking throughout and whilst deep down you are aware of the bleak outcome of nuclear war you continue to hold out hope as do our main characters throughout. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Rhys R It's the greatest movie I've ever seen! I've been looking for a movie like this. In fact I've watched it 2 times already. So I would recommend this movie to others! Even though it is a little sad, but it is a legend of a movie! Defiantly a hall of fame movie and song for sure! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Joseph C Honestly, it was okay. Not as good as Threads or the day after, but it was okay. The British accents make me laugh my ass off with how over the top they are especially the 'Get back here you stupid b**** and get in the shelter!' After that its depressing as one would expect Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie is as powerful as it is sad, with a clear message, "Stop wars before they begin". The animation is gorgeous with a timely and simple feel to it, and the characters are the embodiment of trust and generations of it. This movie begins with the scene of the military assembling, which is almost never good, and a song with seemingly upbeat lyrics that become darker as the song progresses, mirroring the movie. Then we meet the couple, an elderly pair with a strong bond, Hilda "Ducks" Bloggs, and Jim Bloggs. Jim has a strong sense of trust in his government and is seemingly stuck in "Old timey" war, unknowing that atomic war looms ahead, and is far worse. Both him and Ducks are strong believers of the government's power and in it's ability to help them. Although this movie is meant to portray the couple as incredibly naive, it's hard to believe that Jim, who is well versed and educated in war, is unbeknownst of the danger. Perhaps he didn't want to worry Ducks with the possibilities that awaited them. The bombing scene was incredibly hard hitting, seeing the peaceful countryside that was seen before being destroyed and ruined by the power of man. This movie was an amazing watch, even though I'm no critic, I would recommend this movie for anyone. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
