Scorched Earth

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.

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.

I like GC and will try any movie she's in. This one combines some of my favorite genres: action, apocalypse/dystopia, revenge. It's nice to see a female action hero like her that can fight and also resembles a real human woman that can take on a 6'-5" man and throw him across a room but still look beautiful doing that. I think the plot was thin, and some of the costuming was distracting. But generally an interesting take on the loner revenge western and a good vehicle for Carano's action star skills.

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.

Almost the whole humanity was killed by climate change and catastrophes related to those changes and after billions are dead a few guys and gals still driving cars are threatening the climate and therefore hunted down by bounty-hunters - wanted dead or alive. Well, that's a well-dumb-crafted premise I must admit :D

What more to say!? Movie is so so but only if you are a BIG-time fan of the (pos)apocalyptic genre. No new The Road, The Book of Eli or Mad Max etc. here. Tastes like a C-Western, good enough to kill some spare time with nothing else to do.

Only for die-hard fans of the genre who must watch 'em all.
