Having just seen this film, for the first time, and read much criticism of it here, I have to say that whereas some of the criticism is justified, much of it is not. Easily as scary, if not more so, in the attack scenes than its UK counterpart "Threads", although with a somewhat weak aftermath which does make it look more like a soap opera, it still portrays the subject matter well. I have to say that the political plot appears rather confusing, but these films are often that way to keep the viewer thinking.
I still say "Threads" is better, and "Testament" far more subtle, but this is incredibly worthy nonetheless.
I only wish I had seen this sooner, but it was very difficult to obtain in the UK.
