Movie Reviews of Threads [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2&4 Import - Great Britain] [Region 2]
Movie Review: A Must See For Everyone On This Planet - Threads
Summary: 5 Stars
It is quite sad that the best film about a possible nuclear holocaust is not available in region 1 format and is no longer in print. "Threads" is graphic, epic, and intimate. Graphic in its depiction of a nuclear war. You will not be able to forget its horrific images. Epic in its scope. The movie goes from first day of the attack to 13 years later. Intimate in its focus on one town in England, two families, and some local officials all of whom you really feel sympathy for. I firmly believe that this film should be required viewing for ALL the people on this planet, especially for our world leaders. But the best film about this issue is unavailable on region 1 DVD. I am lucky to have a VHS copy of "Threads" which I purchased from Shock Video. I transferred this VHS to DVDrw. With so much trash available on DVD these days, I think it behooves video companies to finally put something out there that can really change things. "Threads" can do it!!!! By the way, "Threads" makes "The Day After" look like a Sunday picnic, and it is a much better film as well.
Summary of Threads [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2&4 Import - Great Britain] [Region 2]
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2.4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, SYNOPSIS: Originally produced by the BBC, Threads is a shattering speculative tale the onset of World War III, and the horrors of the post-apocalyptic society that struggles for survival. The film takes place in the ruins of Sheffield, a British working class town. Despite the fact that the world seems to be falling apart all around them, a young couple (Karen Meagher, Reece Meagher) intend to go ahead with their upcoming wedding. As the date draws near, however, simmering international tensions soon erupt into global thermonuclear war. In the devestation that follows, the apocalyptic erosion of society sends mankind hurtling back hundreds of years into an age where famine, strife, pestilence, and death wash over the land like an unrelenting flood of venomous bile. The central theme of the film seems to be that the adage "Life Goes On" just isn't good enough in a world doomed to a slow death by radiation. Without resorting to shock or sensationalism, this one makes The Day After and Testament look like kids' stuff. Though not picked up by any of the major American networks, Threads was widely distributed in the US through the auspices of cable mogul Ted Turner. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards,Drama DVD Video
