I'm disappointed to hear this, I was really looking forward to seeing this. I was hoping you'd say it sucked, because that usually means I'll like it. :D

I wasn't going to see this one until DVD, if then, but I took your advice. Man, do I hate you all now :D

JK, I thought this was fun as all get out. I won't say great, but it was a perfect blend of cheesy action flick and cool ideas that haven't been explored in the futuristic doomsday technological field. Just all-out fun, IMO.

And, before I get to the spoilers...sure, Rhona Mitra was hot, but Viper, AKA Leanne Liebenberg was FAR HOTTER, even all funky as she was.

I love how they went back to different eras of technology to provide some kind of dominance over the general populace. Of course, with Saul, you had them clinging to gasoline engines and the like. The girl and her boy had an old steam engine. And, the piece de resistance, Malcolm Macdowell (sp?) going back to arms and armor. They never explained exactly HOW a lot of it happened, but that's just willing suspension of disbelief ;)
