Damn good.

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 1999)

All I can say is...damn, what a movie. Comedy, suspense, action...this one has it all. Perhaps this is one of the few movies that show us the true nature of mankind and its constant attempt to safeguard itself against total annihilation. But then again, it may be an attempt to show us just how close to extinction mankind really is. Kubrick's vision of war and the Cold War in particular allow the viewer to step into the War Room and experience, first hand, the horror and the comedy of battle. He allows us to see the decay of the human spirit in the military and the joy of an end with the final ride of Slim Pickins. Typical Kubrick, the movie fails to give closure. Following in the tradition of "Full Metal Jacket," "A Clockwork Orange," and "2001: A Space Odyssey," he lets us, the viewers, decide for ourselves what happens at the end. The ending of the movie allows us to conclude what our imaginations will allow us to conclude. I know that this movie will continue to give its fans and its viewers hours of entertainment and joy. Just remember...it's all about the fluids. Ciao, Clyde
