Subjects like nuclear armageddon are simply too important to be taken seriously.

I agree. It's a pre-apocalyptic movie that gets as close as possible to crossing that boundary, without doing so.

Though I would argue that there's not a hard cutoff between the pre-apocalypse and post-apocalypse. There is also a period where the apocalypse is actively occurring. So there's a pretty big barrier to it becoming post-apocalyptic.
