Good movie!

Wtf is with the bad reviews?! Good acting, cool story line...maybe a little predictable but still so so good!

Way better than expected

Is it a stellar film? No, but it's way better than I expected. Good acting, good action, interesting enough plot, effectively disturbing at times. Some plot holes but solid indy thriller.

Good acting makes up for weak script

Worth watchIng, although it brought up many logic questions, such as, why are you fighting to save a farm where nothing has grown for years? And Billy, the "good guy" taking revenge on his brothers who left him behind... while being shot at by a psycho with a machine gun? I love my brother, but I hate machine guns even more. They had to leave him. And why are there full service burger joints when there are no cows? However... it kept me glued to the TV with good acting and enough action to justify 90 minutes. And a great job by Callan, the guy who played Van, the "mysterious hero."

Incoherent

This movie was a mess. It had a lot of potential.... family of brothers amid this awful landscape fighting for survival. But the script was simply unintelligible. It had enough plot and story for a 3 hour movie which makes me wonder if this thing got butchered in the editing room. There were leaps in logic and believability that were jaw dropping. Made no sense. I loved some of the characters, a couple of tense scenes, and some beautiful outdoor cinematography. But it was so disappointing.

A good surprise !

First, I was thinking to a cheap, low-budget, Mad Max-like movie, but I soon discovered that Desolated had its own singularity : that of a futuristic western with epic accents. The plot is good, the acting is excellent, and the stagîng is sumptuous. Some scenes look like Edward Hopper or Andy Wyeth paintings, and it sometimes reminded me of Days of Heaven or The Reflecting Skin, in the way of filmîg lands capes. In a time of movies formatted on the same model, it was a really good surprise to discover a film like this one, original, intense and dramatic. Watch it, you won't waste your time.

Anecdotes
Desolate is very similar to a film entitled Fast Color, which was released the same year, since both films deal with a prolonged near future drought that is affecting the American heartland. Both films end with rain falling.

Citations
[first lines]
Billy Stone: [narrating] This land used to be some of the most fertile farmland in the country, though it's hard to believe that now. It's been years since it last rained here. The news called it an "isolated cataclysm" or some shit like that. Means the rest of the world went on living while we were left here to fend for ourselves. Suck the one necessary ingredient for life out of a place, and life seems to leave with it. When the fields dried up and the cattle died, people tried to sell, and the ones who couldn't were left behind. It only took months for us to turn on each other, and, oh, how we did. You can know someone your whole life, but the second it's you, or them, watch how you change.
Billy Stone: There's always been talk of who's to blame. Some people blame the government. Others think God did this to us. But truth be told, we did it to ourselves. We left this land desolate.
