Does Anyone Read?
I'm sitting here reading these reviews and wondering if anyone even read the description on the back of the box about this movie. Over and over people are commenting on the technology that is present in the movie. Well, if certain people had takent the time to read the synopsis on the back cover, one would find that this moves takes place in a futuristic setting. There are some remanants of technology left, but most of it has been left behind in a "muted past".I didn't find this movie to be a masterpiece, but it was enjoyable for at least a night's rental. Christopher Lambert is just wooden throughout and does his best job at being Mad Max, but just does not pull it off. The character Kyra is tough and really is the only believable person in the movie. What I did like about the movie was the setting, the costumes, the weapons, and overall bleak post apocolyptic vision of the future.
