Im sooo disappointed...


How this movie can get such high rating??? It was so borring and full of cliches... The actors were annoying, especially the daughter (Ive ff all scenes with her as I simply could not stand her). I love post apocalyptic movies but this one seemed so unreal, not convincing, not something I could relate to. The dialogues or journal monologues were supposed to be deep and touching where in fact they weren't. First half hour of the movie could easily be skipped as it was just useless for the whole movie. I understand that this movie bases on a subject which was very freightening for many people during cold war but this is not enough to rate it so high. As a movie, a thing to watch, it was horrible!!!

I agree with you. I’m working through a bunch of these “Apocalyptic Realism” films and so far, Testament has been the only one that did nothing for me emotionally. The acting was terrible, and I found the dad super annoying so the whining about him and the home vids of the family of flat badly acted characters were a drag to sit though.
