Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Rhyous (Brendan Guy Murphy) is the Wastelander, a post apocalyptic film that takes place well into the future. We later find out Rhyous was born in 2690. He walks around on the surface looking for Eden, battling scourgers. He makes reluctant alliances, preferring to travel alone. The film was low budget with cheezy low budget effects, CG backgrounds, and bad fight choreography. The Front 242 graffiti managed to have lasted 700 years. The gladiator scene was a joke. apparently inspired by Thunderdome. The bad guy wasn't big enough to create the effect they wanted. Most people have a helmet with goggles, something not explained. Also the shooting effects left something to be desired. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Wastelander is a little bit of everything. At times it's a film which is classic Troma in the style of not comprehending certain plot points, not understanding how certain characters died, the action sequences, certain exteriors, the editing, etc.But then it's also a film which is up there with some very good Sci-Fi films by some of it's wonderful exterior shots, some of it's interesting characters and it's overall ambiance i.e. the gas masks, the creepy feel of the exteriors, the signs, etc. Then there's also a serene like quality about Wastelander in the same respects as The Bad Batch which is kind of touching. Wastelander is a film which explores all different aspects of film in general. Also, The acting isn't too bad either. Brendan Guy Murphy owns the character as Rhyous and could easily be cast as the next Mad Max. Sian Vilaire has an interesting style and look to her and could easily be cast as a villain in the next Avengers movie. Overall, Wastelander isn't a perfect film, but it's a very interesting one, and it's worth the watch.

George Miller & Byron Kennedy called from 1979 - they said you're biting their MadMax movie.
