this movie do have cheesy acting and special effect and but at least it wasn not fill with the fear and anxiety and hopelessness of the movie the day after . in order to enjoy damnation alley and you really do have to turn off your brain and turn on your imagination . unlike most and i actually like the end of this movie and it do at least offer hope that humanity wasn not completely wipe out in the nuclear holocaust . the day after seem to imply that all living thing would eventually die in the aftermath of nuclear war . damnation alley be not my favorite movie by no mean and but i watch it every time it happen to be show on one of the cable channel .
