It moves at great pace. Anthony Edwards is perfect as the very likable lead. Also lots of kudos for sticking to the realistic and fitting dark romantic ending

Makes a lot darker choices than the usual Hollywood thriller from the 80's would, and really gives a great sense of power and dread to the situation. There's a lot of intelligence, sensitivity and attention to detail that separates it from many disaster films which often don't bring to question morality and individual action, and instead focus only on bombast.

Holy shit! Ultimate filme de paranoia nuclear erigido pela era Reagan, serião, não dá para ficar melhor do que isso, tem humor, tem drama, tem tensão, tem romance, tudo na medida certa e obviamente é bem pessimista quanto comportamento humano diante de situações extremas.

there's a vulnerability and dread to this that i love, a sense of idealism on the verge of crumbling (crystallised by the great tangerine dream score) until finally it does, and all these great supporting characters, these long-dead relics of '80s culture, slip in and out of the film without a goodbye, swept away in the desperate confusion. winningham's pathetic love interest irritates, but maybe she's an inevitable byproduct of the film's submersion in reagan's fragile fifties nostalgia.

A curiously intriguing little slice of 80s oddness, by turns funny, surreal, romantic and terrifying. The tone does seem to shift all over the place, and the setting and oddball bunch of characters contribute to a very uncertain atmosphere that kept me guessing. I've realised that there are a load of films that totally passed me by in the 80s that are worth a look, this being one of them. Gets bonus points for Brian Thompson.

Nihilistic, terrifying, funny, Miracle Mile covers quite the gamut of emotions. What stands out, however, is the anxiety that Edwards is able to to whip up in a pretty convincing fashion. A double with After Hours might be perfect or it might just send you over the edge.

Viewed June 4, 2017. I think you could make a case for this as the great American movie of the 1980s - or, at the very least, it's a representative example of the unique spark of creative ingenuity that you see throughout the decade. There's so much to praise here. The script is so rich and thoughtful, but it also functions so well as just a run-of-the-mill, handsomely photographed thrill ride. A total gem.

This movie starts off so well. It really does, but it starts to get obnoxious and drag on in such a ridiculous manner (as one criticker put it, suffers from Gilliam syndrome). The whole thing kinda feels and plays out like an dream in this weird way. Hazy, confusing. I did like the concept, sort of a Chicken Little reference, as if the world is ending. Anyway, check it out. It's 80s, it's cheesy, and I think I took it too serious. Music by Tangerine Dream was a pleasant surprise!

Put aside the fact that this was made in the 80's (it shows) then its not bad. I was waiting for something dramatic to happen but it never came. I don't think it would be a bad idea to remake this.

This is exactly what I was looking for in an end-of-the-world movie. The real-time thriller format works fantastically and captures the feeling of having profoundly scary information in advance, and dealing with one's very unusual survival goals. It's hard to sleep after watching this.

What I learned from this movie: the 80s weren't all about nerds getting revenge, and in Los Angeles traffic, it takes at least 90 minutes to drive approximately one mile.

Awesomely charming, but suffers from what i like to call the Gilliam syndrome: characters frustratingly mucking through sewers instead of getting from point A to B. Still, well deserving of its cult status.

Man, the 80s were terrible.
Still, must confess i probably woulda enjoyed it more if i saw it in a theatre, back when it was made. It goes very smoothly on that cliche pattern of thrilling you through characters doing stupid, reckless stuff at times of crisis.

I had no idea what to expect with this one, and it has such an amazing switch from romantic movie to.. something much darker.. that I can't help but grin. It's all terribly 80's, but it only adds to the slightly surreal experience.
