I would like to say that I read both the book and saw the movie before I read this review and I agree that one reviewer doesn't do a whole lot especially with websites like rotten tomatoes in existence.
I do however think you should have just left the movie to interpretation for everyone to enjoy like the author did and like the movie did. That is my opinion I'm really not here to argue with you on that.
I do think that the nuclear scenario is extremely unlikely and for my reasons mentioned early. I've also found a hypothesis that satisfies everything that happens in the movie it is called the a Pole Shift. A pole shift is when axis rotation of earth is changed. In short it would cause tremendous amounts of damage to the planet.
Here is a link to the wiki entry on it you should check it out.

The earthquakes and random forest fires lead me to believe that the apocalypse wasn't caused by a nuclear holocaust. Also the fact that there are no warnings of irradiated areas or dangers of drinking contaminated this or that seem to play against the nuclear holocaust theory as well.
I feel like pinning this down as a nuclear holocaust does cheapen the movie/book because you have then not allowed the viewers to form their own thoughts which is what you yourself took away from the book/movie.
