Scorched Earth

This low budget flick steals ideas and scenes from other far superior films. A poor feeble attempt at a post apocalyptic western with an environmental message. Uninspired acting as if they are just going through the motions expect for Gina Carano as the main role as a bounty hunter BARLEY saves this from a scrap heap rating of 3 or below Gina deserved better than this and so do the viewers.

B for beige applies to a good number of second tier films and Scorched Earth is no exception.

I must say I was surprised to see the talented John Hannah in this science fiction Western. His presence was a welcome addition, however, that said, it is still not enough to save this production from mediocrity.

Pretty much everything found in Scorched Earth has been done before in one form or other. That in itself is no sin. Where it falls down is in its inability to cash in, offering up pedestrian narrative and no real breath of acting performances. The action scenes do not stand out in a meaningful way either. Its strictly by the numbers stuff, which fails to impress.

All in all a rather "ho hum" affair that's a marginal watch at best. Five out of ten from me.

I'm up for most anything but this is literally Zena the warrior princess meets a B version of mad max...it's painful

Watchable, giving the plots partly similar to both Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" and "Pale Rider" with a bit of Mad Maxish's enemy wasteland cars. Though none of the editing scene to scene were irritating throughout. The actors are average but not imposing enough with the exception of Gina's acting, she is certainly suited for more kick-ass heroine roles in movieland.

This is a poor movie, that should be on in the background whilst you do something else, you shouldn't put any time aside to actually watch this, I like Gina and she had great potential to become an action star so why get involved in his drivel. Also, just a small point about the costume designers, one of the premises in the movie is the toxic atmosphere and the reliability on masks and silver?? None of the masks had filters on them which really bugged me, do some research people, masks need filters...
