I would probably watch this if this wasn’t the only movie tempting me into resubscribing to Netflix. Is there a term for a minor plot point which would improve a film by being removed?

Looking at a familiar genre in a different way, Well, if Post Apocalypse I'd go with possibly the root film, 1959's "On The Beach". The people just waiting for the inevitable end, suicide pills and Fred Astaire. Heck of a combination. Although "The Quiet Earth" (which places a love triangle on a planet without people) and the 1991 Delicatessen (known and accepted cannibalism of ones neighbours) both have their moments. If it was a werewolf film then that's "Ginger Snaps" with "Dog Soldiers" and "War Wolves" close behind. Ah ha! Musicals or those films built around music! While you can wander through the various mainstream flics from the 30's through to Mama Mia part 2, pay rightful obeisance to Rocky Horror and shake your head at Presley, how about "Streets of Fire a Rock n' Roll fable"? The tunes are ear worms, the film is filled with memorable one liners and it's got Diane Lane.

I enjoyed this, my guess is they went with Nuclear winter because Norway doesn't have Nuclear power stations, yet Sweden, Finland and Russia all have them so close that a Fukushima type incident would affect Norway, plus there is a political battle over nuclear energy in Noway at the moment. But I only know all that because it was in Nat Geo last year. Also having worked for a hotel theatre company in the 90s I kind of got some of that element a bit more. Not least as stage management I would sneak through servant passages to reset props. Looking at a familiar genre in a different way, Leone and Lucas both took the Samurai film into new genres. Harlan Ellison's 'A Boy and his Dog' has a very intriguing look at a post apocalypse world.

Nuclear holocaust as a civilization ending event seems rather dated in 2020. By now the only folks who remember doing duck and cover exercises in schoolrooms are hoping to die off before the climate worsens - Still, sounds like a fun watch!
