Road Wars

A group of post-apocalyptic survivors tries to defeat a deadly virus that is turning people into voracious zombies, whilst rival clans battle for supremacy.

It's no 'Mad Max', it's not even unhappy or moderately irritated Max despite some reasonably attractive costumes, stage design and well-engineered audio-visual effects. There are countless Italian-made wasteland movies from the 80's that are superior to this incoherent drivel which lacks imagination and basic plot. Just a series of predictable zombie vs survivor encounters made on a limited budget showcasing tired acting, cliched and illogical action sequences, and less than spectacular stunt-work.

In-fighting causes more fatalities than the zombies which ultimately isn't what we came to see - lots of leather, clown make-up and puerile dialogue with little to recommend.

yes I watched this last night , found an online copy. it wants to be mad max 2/road warrior meets resident evil. this is just my op. ... it fails miserably on both accounts. weak soundtrack, weak hook... by hook i mean, in the first five minutes a movie -or book- should hook the reader/viewer, so they want to continue. my ratings hinge on re-watchability... i had to fast forward through most of the movie-- weak acting-- weak dialogue-- weak story line-- the movie quality is good, the filming. but everything else is "b" movie grade. the cars , the acting etc.

I wish i hadn't watched it in the first place, if fast forwarding is even watching. It will not be re-watched. there is a lot of sitting in the desert, driving in the desert. pointless dialogue and stuff that doesn't make sense.

I have no doubt that someone will say "this movie is epic", well, to that , i say ... every turd has its punchbowl. hey , i am gonna use that in my thread from the sandbox message board entitled "the poop group". check it out.

comment , bring all your poop slinging to my poop group in the sandbox message board I thought you said you weren't insane anymore?

This is not a good movie. It is a horror movie. It is not scary. I do not understand the character. I do not like this movie at all. It does not have I good story line. Do not see it this movie.

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and today we review " upset dax: furry choad" ...the movie !!!!!!!!!

SO here we have yet another "asylum" production ripping off a block buster movie ...obviously "mad max: fury road" that came out around the same time ..... instead of "war boys" we have "zombies" .... and instead of "mad max" we have "steve" from accounting .... you know some random forgettable looking average joe looking guy with an aussie accent and a halloween try hard mad max costume on .... THEN we have the furiosa chick for the movie ? ...the "side chick" if you will being almost the main character ALSO in this film as she is looking for a cure for her man and yadda yadda ........totally different story line form mad max though .... but visuals are very close BUT as with 99% of ALL end of the world films .... it always turns out like that ......you get either mad max look, or cyber punk look ....thats our only 2 choices .... WHY ?!?!?!?!?

Its a competently made film over all ..... usually the asylum films are though ...they get a lot of crap thrown their way for ripping off the block buster films BUT they do a decent job most of the time now ...in the beginning ...meh not so much BUT NOW days ....yea ....they do pretty good ...

story was mid level, nothing to great , the standard "search quest" deal,.... with the gasp "twist" ending you knew was coming from a mile away ... though ... the way the "heros " handled it was kind of stupid .....i mean ... when facing end of your species , and you find a cure, BUT it has ONE ...only ONE set back and really that set back isnt that bad .... i man the cure leaves you pretty much fine with a livable normal life .... but instead of accepting that they get all NO WE MUST BE PURE AND "NORMAL" AND AAAHHHHHHHHHHH KILL KILL KILL!!!!!! Like dude calm your milkers sir .....your fine ....they are fine ...everyone could literally BE FINE but instead you think one tiny thing ....and its the end of the world .....again ...... news flash its already over ...theres like 200 people left max and you can change it all back ....BUT NOOOOOO you want to be a jerkoff last second because ???? Writers block on how to end the film is my assumption .... didnt have a "good way to end it soooooo we get that

couple of major issues here that could have easily been fixed to make it a solid film:

#1. Should have NOT had an aussie for the lead male hero role ..... i mean ...end of the world movies already have to be compared to mad max literally every step of the way so why make it even easier ??? Doing this would have made it stand alone as its own film - however i know then it would NOT have cash grabbed the mad max train and that was the sole purpose of this mockbuster .....so i get it .... but a man can dream cant he ....

#2 the TERRIBLE SOUND TRACK .... jesus christ REALLY ? .... some ... pulp fiction would be sounding garbage ? ... ugh ......nothing says serious zombie end of the world movie like bad surfer music .....

# 3 .... at about 56 mins in ... the black dudes eyes .... LOL ... did no one think to do a reshoot for that one scene ? ... no one .. on the entire crew ....did ANYONE watch the dailies ??? Someone notice he shut his eyes on his own ? ... no one AT ALL ?!?!?!?!? Okay ... apparently an entire crew of blind people shot this film ..so actually now that i think about it ..im impressed how well this came out ....

other wise ....IF you do NOT think of it as a bad mad max parody .....or rip off ....then it isnt half bad really .... its got some action going on ...basic story, acting is on par .....i mean easily a standard filler film for a saturday with nothing to do , just put it on and waste a couple of hours kind of deal sure ... OR you could rewatch MAD MAX FURY ROAD again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4/10.

A man approaches a group of survivors in an apocalyptic world. They wing him with a shot and are surprised to find him a normal human suffering from amnesia. Water is scarce. It hasn't rained since forever and the group guards the only known source of clean water. The world is overtaken by viral zombies which come out at night to attack. The amnesic man may actually be immune from the zombie virus and possibly the salvation of the human race. Nakada has smuggled in her infected boyfriend Kevin.

This is a Road Warrior wannabe. It's noticeable that I don't know many of their names. These characters are one dimensional and expandable. It's a cheap exploitation B-movie done without the fun exploitation. Somebody dressed up a few vehicles and had some fun playing Road Warrior. It isn't much more than that.
