Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

ChaoticNoize The whole post apocalyptic wasteland has been done various times before but I am always excited to discover new films of this style. As I knew nothing about the film I decided to read a few reviews beforehand which nearly put me off watching it but I am glad that I decided to watch it anyway, I've seen it a few times now. This is not a bad film but nor is it a consistently good either, there are parts that require tweaking/re-shooting/removing in my opinion. There is a story but im undecided on whether it is strong enough to carry the film for 140 mins. Having said that, 'the road' doesn't contain much of a story other than that of survival and the relationship but that's a good film none the less.Some of the negatives; The engine noise used on Wes' car - I understand the engines have been modified so would sound different but the noise just doesn't fit, it sounds more like a kamikaze plane dive bombing or ww2 propeller driven siren. Some really poor editing - For example there is a scene that shows a long road and to avoid an overly long scene it is sped up but then abruptly returns to regular speed which looks like someone has fast forwarded a VCR. The fact Wes can 'talk' to his dog - I just think the concept is silly and is too gimmicky and it doesn't really add anything which makes it pointless. - The ending - What the f is all I have to say about that! Some of the positives; Some interesting characters - One of my favourites has to be Edward played by Billy Drago, sadly he doesn't get much screen time but the acting was great. Some interesting editing - In contrast to the poor editing there are some nice edits such as the split screen comic book style shots. Some REALLY cool action scenes - I LOVE the scene where Wes takes out those would be rapists, when I first saw that I was in awe of how amazing I thought it was. The music, the angles, the edits and the brutality made it memorable. I would love to have seen more like this. The sound - I really enjoyed the sound and music with only one exception of the song used when he goes into the town (about 16 mins in), I think it would have worked better without vocals.In summery - for a low budget film I would say this is a good effort that could've turned out worse but didn't achieve its potential either. I enjoyed the film and have watched it several times now but I think more time spent planning the story direction and some different post production choices would've improved the film substantially. I would suggest that anyone who is a fan of this genre (or the fallout game series) should watch this in its entirety. You may not enjoy it all but I believe you should give everything at least one chance.

davenumber7 this was a low budget movie. you have to keep that in mind.i think there are too many negative reviews for this one. it held my interest from start to finish.i have also noticed negative descriptions of scenes where the reviewer didn't see what was actually happening.no its not high tech special effects but it is definitely worth watching especially if you're not paying theater prices. i did notice a few goofs but i can forgive that if the movie is interesting. i liked this one slightly better than book of eli which is a similar plot lined movie. give credit where credit is due,i see a lot of big budget movies that satisfy me less than this . its a low budget winner.

lurpak I have to agree with everything that previous reviews say when they point out the negatives of this film. For the first 20 minutes I had convinced myself that I had already seen it then I realised I was thinking of 'Book Of Eli'. Saying that the first 20 minutes you do feel like something of a plot is developing but at this point you can switch off as nothing worth watching happens from that point onward.The last 20 minutes of the film then go from bad to worse. I think whatever good this film had must have been lost in post-production as whomever was responsible for the final cut seems to have a bad idea of good film, which this clearly had the potential to become. Such a shame and I believe a career ender for many involved.

kvarsh This movie is similar to other movies currently released about the future of mankind if we continue with our wasteful ways. There were some very interesting uses of graphic art (kinda Frank Miller-ish) and multi-scene shots. In my opinion, the most interesting character is Tobias; the actor does an excellent job portraying a cut-throat S.O.B.The tag line is something like "the journey begins when civilization ends" and that about sums up the entire movie. If you sit and jot down a list of what you think would happen if the world's resources were to disappear, you would have what writer Philip Kim came up with. That being said, bravo to the director for making such a stale plot interesting enough for me to want to write a review.Bottom line: if you like sci-fi and are concerned about the end-of-days this movie is for you.
