A mixed result

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 2018)

In yet another post-nuclear-apocalyptic film, an unlikely group of rebels gradually join forces to escape across a desert from a brutal tyrant and his forces.
Regarding action and special effects, this movie is a fun ride and admirable as well. The trouble is that the action is almost non-stop. The scenes aren't repetitive or dull but their excess seems to put the film out of balance and in need of more breaks for other story-related elements like character development and letting the audience know why people are doing what they are doing.
The film editing also seems less than stellar during these action scenes. Improvements might have helped viewers in keeping up with what was being done by whom against whom. Also, as most characters in the chase scenes are white, bare-chested men with shaved heads, it was almost impossible to tell them apart.
There was an interesting addition to the story of a small tribe of women of various ages, most of whom were over fifty. To include such a group is a step forward for a big-budget Hollywood film. But overall, the flaws and lack of balance left an incomplete feeling.
