Review of Threads (1984) by Brian B — 16 Nov 2018

After rising tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union leads to nuclear war, the survivors have to survive against looters, starvation, and radiation sickness. What I liked about this movie was how realistic it was.

It had a depiction of corruption and malice on a worldwide scale. Many of the death scenes were long and drawn out and its plot was also eerily plausible. Also, its documentary style camerawork was pretty interesting.

You don't get to know the characters all that well, but I think that may have been intentional, because if something like this were to ever happen, you'd just be another face in the crowd. Overall, I'd say this movie has aged really well, and I highly recommend it.
