Featured review
Slick throw back to the post apocalyptic films of the 80s
A young man sets out on search of medicine for his mother aided by a hi tech android.
Don't expect the grandeur of Mad Max: Fury Road, Future World is more in the vein of 1980's Italian produced B-films which borrowed from Mad Max Road Warrior. Mix James Franco and Bruce Thierry Chung's offering with a bit of Automata and Cherry 2000 and you get a decent direct-to-video science fiction action Western film.
The editing is pretty slick, Franco covers plenty of ground and refreshingly there's little CGI. Peter Zeitlinger cinematography does what it can with the minimal locations. The screenplay by Chung and Jay Davis screenplay recycles many sci-fi tidbits right down the The Running Man Wedlock-like controlled slaves.
Both Snoop Dogg and Milla Jovovich are entertaining enough in their small roles. Franco hams it up as the Warlord and Suki Waterhouse as the android girl, (while not good as Caity Lotz in The Machine) carries the film well enough picking up the slack from Prince (Jeffrey Wahlberg). Toydrum's score is also notable.
Overall if you enjoy Warriors of the Wasteland 1990; The Bronx Warriors (1982) and the like, this is a forgettable updated slicker version which doesn't pretend to be anything more.
