As scary a horror film as any you will find.January 26, 2006
Fine photography, but the script is a typically numbing affair, and the cast, aside from Peck and Meillon, seem totally out of their depth.

A nuclear war what-if starring some heavy hitters.March 06, 2008
Gloomy doomsday film that is more talky, melodramatic and numbing than imaginative.August 07, 2005
Kramer's apocalyptic drama is too verbose, replete with "message" speeches, but the text is intelligent, reflecting the Cold War mentality, and well-acted by Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire (in his first nonmusical role) and Anthony Perkins.November 07, 2007
A wasted opportunity.November 07, 2007
A tiresome, talky 1959 film.July 09, 2016
Director Kramer's drama is a bleak and heart wrenching tale of the end of the world...

While heartbreaking and touching, it's hard to imagine that riots aren't rampant and that martial law isn't required, but hey, it's a movie, and quite a good -- if overlong -- one, at that.

The great merit of this picture, aside from its entertaining qualities, is the fact that it carries a passionate conviction that man is worth saving, after all.November 07, 2007
A powerful, well-acted, deftly photographed film.December 17, 2012
The scenario - one of the best in Stanley Kramer's filmography - is uniquely human in the annals of post-nuclear cinema.
