I walked out. Though I never walk out of movies, I was with two people. One on my left who despised the movie, and the one on the right who had already seen it and loved it. I was the one to decide whether we stayed or not. Truthfully, I could stand sitting through it, but I had just had coffee, I was really fridgety, and I’d rather be home watching MST3K with my boyfriend than being in the theater sitting through a movie I didn’t like.

WIthin the first half-an-hour, it became pretty obvious that this was a film made for violence. However, I still found the plot pretty intriguing (though unoriginal) and wanted to see what the twist was on the survivors. I was sorely disappointed. When I found out that 30 years had produced a cannibalistic Hell’s Angels with blunt weapons, and I was presented with a 15 minute action sequence that produced no emotion from me oncesoever, I knew that I wouldn’t want to see the rest of it. Ripoff plot, bad acting, and gore for gore.

This is not a movie to be taken seriously, nor a particularly good movie. It is, however, full of eye candy and silly nonsense, so if you are into that sort of thing you will probably enjoy seeing it.

It has silly post apocalyptic punks in a Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome / 28 Days Later / Resident Evil sort of world. It also has a crap-ton of senseless action and violence, rapid-fire action cutscenes, little to no coherent plot, a ton of internal inconsistencies, and very strange taste in music (nothing says cannibalism like Siouxsie Sioux!). I LOVED it. But that’s just the way I am. You, not being me, will probably disagree.

Doompunk rules!

A cheap rip-off of Mad Max, The Road Warrior and Lord of the Rings with the tunnel scene. A pseudo zombie movie without the zombies. Yet another crappy movie with the Great Malcolm McDowell. Even he can’t breathe life into crap. Malcolm McDowell needs to fire his agent.
