Having watched a lot of modern shows with ultra realistic graphic scenes, I feel like I did not experience the raw 'Threads' first time experience because I kept criticising most of the scenes wih sounds fading out making it feel more like a live theatre performance than a movie.
However, the film starts strong and ends strong with no particular focus on a 'hero' or a 'heroine ' showing a particular focus on the effects of such an incident to an everyday person.
