More 80's propaganda themed stuff. Basically, let's kill the Russians before they kill us. Felt like the characters were old soley so the film could relate to an uneducated, gullible, or care free viewer. The old lady was particularly stupid and irritating but provided comedy (if you like humour and not a more realistic reaction after the apocalypse.) Presented with realistic dialogue to make it more relatable. The old woman saying 'there's a war on' brought back memories of how my nan would have spoken about the war. How they all would have spoken. That dialogue style never changed. Even after the bomb! In this film after the bomb drops there is even a proud fighting Brit attitude against the 'rusties'. Later they throw in half of a Churchill speach.....Give me a break. Too much nationalism makes you blind, crap writing or maybe a clever anti government message with a look at how ignorant we are? Unclear. Pulls at every heart string and reminisces before unleashing horror. Tries very hard to be grim and the characters are too dumb. A sweet old couple who overdo it and are a pair of arse holes. Obviously this film worked better in the 80's. I was a child in the 80's. I remember the dark looming feeling speaking to scared adults and watching TV. All putting fear into me.

Devastating animated flick about an elderly couple trying to survive during the fallout of a nuclear attack. Their hope and optimism as they try to maneuver through their new reality, using archaic survival methods is both touching and gut -wrenching.

A modest elderly couple are only dimly aware there's a nuclear war, and have no idea they're dying of radiation fallout.

can a film about dying from nuclear radiation be boring? it was.
