My reaction to it surprised me.  I was bored.  I thought it interesting
the effects at ground zero, but otherwise I thought Earthquake was
gorier and more disturbing.  Certainly Special Bulletin was far better
as a sober rendition.  I felt sure I was watching an Irwin Allen flick.

On the other hand, I felt the pannel discussion afterwards well worthwhile,
and worth the wait.  More was said every five minutes there than was said
in the entire movie.

Re: freeze oriented?  I really did not see anything objectionable.  Of course
there is the implication that people do not want siloes nearby, so they should
stop them, but in reality, those locales should be safest.  Since the missiles
will be gone by the time they are hit, why should they be targets?
(N.B. I am a freeze opponent and am conservative to hawkish on defense issues,
so do not assume that my lack of objection is due to my politics.)
