Great British classical sci-fi movie and a realistic description of the journalistic profession...

A true masterpiece. I've watched this film numerous times and it just keeps getting better with each subsequent viewing. Concise direction from Val Guest, a gripping story and excellent performances from Edward Judd, Leo McKern and Janet Munro. Highest recommendation.

Honnetement, c'est pas mal. Heureusement que la guerre froide est fini parce qu'on ne dormirait pas apres ce film! Eh oui, imaginez que l'excÃ¨s d'essais nucleaires et de largages de missiles en tout genre en plus de dÃ©vier l'axe de la terre, provoquant de vraies catastrophes climatiques, ne dÃ©vie, en plus, de son orbite pour se rapprocher dangereusement du soleil... :S Rhoooh la cagate! C'est surtout au niveau decor que le film est impressionnant: Londres connaÃ®t d'abord un Ã©trange brouillard, puis sous un soleil ecrasant, on voit la Tamise a sec... Tout fond, meme les touches de machine a ecrire et les combines telephoniques! C'est l'apocalypse, et meme les films catastrophes de maintenant n'arrivent pas Ã recreer cette ambiance angoissante de fin du monde...

My all-time favourite film. I can watch it again and again.

Um.. don't watch this movie.. An excellent job of portraying the news industry.. but it doesn't belong in a movie.
