Bewertung von MovieBuff-fest
I love watching Heather Graham in movies. Having said that, this movie was difficult to watch to the end. I have a hard time watching non-linear movies. Jumping back and forth into past, present, and future scenes is not only confusing but makes me lose interest. I shouldn't have to work this hard just to enjoy watching a movie. The drug use and self destruction is depressing. One of the main characters was a cigarette. It was always front and center. Sometimes I thought I was watching a cigarette ad instead of a movie. (Product placement, anyone?) With the drug addiction also comes violence towards women especially if she tries to escape. Anyone who has been in an abusive, controlling relationship will have PTSD again for sure. Halfway through, I had to get up and go do something random just to stomach the rest of the movie. Aside from the sudden contrived Hollywood ending, I felt like I had been trapped in a crack house for 90 minutes. Why Heather bothered with this script is beyond me. This may be reality for many people in the LA drug scene, but I watch movies for entertainment. Are you not entertained? I was not.
I had high hopes for this movie because it had several actors I enjoy watching. Even they could not save this movie.
The Future World lies in the wake of a global nuclear war. Scattered survivors exist in the wastelands. However, there is an oasis that somehow survived. They have a nice shady grove of trees where they congregate. They have very little in the way of accommodations. A few poles with tattered cloths are arranged to give a little extra shade within the shaded area. People are farming with crude tools in dust not dirt. And here in the middle of this open nothingness lies the queen in a nice brass bed with a comfy mattress under a canopy. Apparently they scavenged far and wide and managed to find the very last existing bed to give their dying queen some comfort. With all that dust they are farming, I would think the bed would not look so pristine. And it just goes downhill from here.
Most of the camera shots are long and constantly moving, panning side to side, zooming in and out. After awhile, I felt like I had been all day at the amusement park on one of those rides that make you vomit when you finally get off. Maybe some people like that kind of nausea, but I don't. When I'm having a conversation with someone, I am not constantly spinning around that person, trying to get a 360 field of view for dramatic effect.
This oasis in the middle of nowhere has travelers that come and go on horseback. One old timer gives a gift of a gun and a handful of bullets which are exceptionally rare. Later, the prince goes on a quest with two guns in hand and 10 bullets. I'm not sure where that other gun appeared from.
The raiders do all of their travels on motorcycles. They must be solar because there are no gas stations and they never stop to refuel after crossing several deserts and mountains. Many of the characters travel on foot through deserts for over 1000 miles without food or water. Even on flat terrain, that would take about 17 days.
All technology has been destroyed, but there is a strip club in the desert with electricity for neon signs (think Vegas), loud music, slave control devices worn around the dancers' necks, but not much else. At least the lights are working so as to see better the topless dancers in cages.
Let's not forget the leftover androids that may or may not have started the nuclear war. Somehow after all the EMPs, they deleted their hard drives and shut themselves down just waiting for someone to find them and to start them up again.
Finally, with so few survivors in this wasteland, you would think that repopulating the earth would be a priority, but apparently there are more lesbian relationships than hetero ones.
Go watch the Road Warrior or any of the other apocalyptic movies that are done much better and don't make you wish you had found a better use of your time.
