The day after did what it was meant to do. Scare the daylights out of people. Unlike Y2K, a Nuclear war is genuinely frightening for good reasons. They could have done a better job on the effects though. After all they did have an actual nuclear holocaust for reference. I.e. your producing the remake of TDA and you just ring up Sony in Japan "Hello, Is there anybody on staff who can give a 1st hand or a detailed second hand account of what the whole Hiroshima thing was like ?".
