Oh my...originally I was asking who paid for it, but that doesn't matter. Why was this even released outside the buddy group?
I am only writing this review to get something back for the time spent watching it. I did watch it. I even paused it and cut a conversation short with my wife because I needed to finish watching it just to get it over with. I paused it to make a sandwich and forced myself to hit the "Play" button again. I put off a bathroom trip because I thought maybe I could get through without.
Positives. A couple shots of the desert landscape. The soundtrack build in some scenes. Some of the martial arts, though it's clear only one person in the movie has any real training.
Negatives: All the other shots of the desert landscape. The actual scene moment when the good soundtrack builds end. The acting. The direction. Pretty much everything else.
Thankfully this was bad enough that I will forget it.
There is a plot twist but no development bringing the viewer to it. The reveal itself is weak. It's not really validated but maybe that was intentional.
I must not think bad thoughts...I must not think bad thoughts...
Okay -- cool little car. Who would have guessed you could get something so neat and so shiny in the post-apocalyptic world behind the white wall.
Where is this going? Off the rails like this movie went immediately before the title presentation. Positive reviews on this movie are not to be trusted. You can't even trust the summary contributed the "White Wall Movie". There's more substance to that "this is my pitch" writing than the actual movie. Really, everyone involved could have spent their time and money on much more fulfilling endeavors. Like maybe filming this as a short.
I wish I could say this was painful for me. I love sci-fi. I even enjoy bad sci-fi when it is good or laughable bad sci-fi. But this mashup of grade school post-apocalyptic projection and martial arts is just a bore. Save yourself and pass on this movie.
