Dust of War

Honestly, yes, some of the characters were needing something, others were wonderful. It started a little off but it started to pick up later on. At the end I wanted more, so that is why I rate it as high as I do. I think that this is the case of we needed a little more information from the get go, take away 15 min somewhere and add it to the end to give us more on what had happened to the main character. I would watch a sequel and be excited to see more, but I don't think that this is a movie I will be watching over and over. Some good up and coming actors, probably just a new leading lady would have been good. She was a little too high-maintenance for the part.

The production value is good. The storyline and flow are fine. I'm a post-apocalyptic nut. I have scraped the bottom of the barrel of all the streaming services I have for content and to find this gem thinking it would probably be awful with a 3.9 is awesome. It's the most 6.5/10 post apocalyptic movie there is. I came onto IMDB wondering if there was a sequel and was disappointed to not find one. That ought to tell you something.

I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!

I really enjoyed watching this film and I don't understand why it has such low rating. I love post-apocalyptic films, and this one is really good.

It is not perfect, there are some bad things, but not THAT bad. Story is nothing special, chase & run. Post-apocalyptic world is not really shown, only desert. No buildings, infrastructure and transport. Low budget, I understand, but that is not the excuse. Aliens are designed really bad and this is the only thing I didn't like in the film. Like a child drawing adapted for screen. Disappointing.

However, it is watchable and I wanted to know what next will happen. Acting is good, their conversation, photography, sound design. The story is told many times, but still, it makes you wanna see it till the end.

Watch it if you like post-apocalyptic films.

5.5/10

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, perhaps a bit of MadMax mayhem, modernity and maybe even a plot. Sadly all were in short supply. The film starts on a promise of good things to come with a good slow pace and an urgent feeling of where am I. Halfway thru and to the end your still wondering. Its a real slog to try and get to grips with what is going on. In almost every scenario, this movie brings up many questions that never get answered. So a colony is living out in the desert? With no visible means to sustain themselves,? no water?, livestock? Although it seems rattle snake is a very popular dish or its the only dish. And when this very same village is being raped and plundered, in a nearby tent a group of little kiddies are having a tea party??? wtf??? The baddies are easily identified but you are not sure why they are the baddies. And just when you think you can join the dots, the plot over reaches in aspiration and falls to dust which is where most of the movie is based. As for the lead character Abel, my mouse pad is more animated ..i mean seriously, squinting and smoldering at everyone can only say so much.. Great cinematography and score but where this came from and where it wants to go..who knows or cares. Oh and as for the half medieval-half... what ever it is, seems it is part of the plot but again, what convolution it is.
