With a (45/100) Metascore, (33%) TomatoMeter and a (6.6/10) imdb, i’d say its a pretty good movie to watch this spring, would I watch it again, probably.
Personal Conclusion:
The nuclear bomb explosion at mid-end of the movie goes further in conjunction with what I thought and what we all think a nuclear bomb would do if ever detonated in our time. It’s an eye-opening, pop corn slow eating, climax. (its a Must Watch).
