WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

mrvanin After watching this film for the first time, I decided to wait a while before saying anything about it. After two months, I watched it again and decided that this was well worth a second view.The story is pretty typical for the genre of undesirables exiled to a wasteland. Yes, some felt compelled to resort to cannibalism as the easier strategy. And yet, there's a haven of sorts, if one is willing to find it. The lead character, played by Suki Waterhouse, does an admirable job - but Jim Carrey is the real surprise - dramatically entertaining in a completely unexpected role. Even Keanu Reeves' portrayal of a dubious but benevolent "desert sultan", replete with breeding harem. is spot on. An agreeable fellow who is just too smooth to be truly likable. Jason Momoa's character remains an unpredictable cut-throat who may or may not turn out to be one of the most depraved amongst these outcasts.I would be tempted to rate the film higher if the story had been a little more imaginative. Kudos to the director for coping with the harsh environment - and the in-camera special effects that largely took care of the scenes that required them. I'll be happy to upgrade my rating in future, if I find that the film continues to grow on me.

liam-s-duke I really don't understand why this movie has such a low score. The acting is superb, utilizing star actors like Jim Carrey (who I didn't even recognize), Keanu Reeves and Giovani Ribisi in small characteristic roles, while putting full weight of the movie onto Suki and Momoa, which they all perform to the highest grade. This movie is uneasy and strange in many ways and after the shocker of first 10 minutes you don't even know what to expect. At the end the whole movie feels like something you have never seen, yet somehow (on the feeling level?) reminds you of Tideland and Wristcutters: A Love Story. It is completely off-beat, sometimes awkward, sometimes beautiful, funny and scary, but definitely gripping. Just as a cherry on the top, the music ties it all into something of a must see!P.S. If you like Die Antwoord it gives you several pleasant surprises! ;)

mikedegroot There was some serious potential here, but it completely falls flat in the 2nd act. I am totally going to spoil it here so be warned. So she starts out being captured by cannibals, who proceed to cut off and eat her arm and leg. She then escapes and kills one of the cannibals and is rescued by a hermit. Okay. Then she goes back later with a new leg and kills another one and takes the kid with her presumably to give her a better life or at least not leave her in the desert, even though that would be and was the first place her father looked. She gets messed up at a party and looses the kid and gets captured again by a cannibal. Then somehow is rescued by some rando good guy and goes back to the safety of the city. So what does she do now? She searches everywhere for the girl and when she finally finds her, she hatches some stupid plan to risk her life and get the girl back from a life of luxury and ease, just so she can return her to her cannibal father who she apparently has feelings for despite only knowing him for a day when he kidnapped her. They then eat her pet rabbit and it fades to black. What? These cannibals just ate half of her and now she risks her life and joins them because.....why?? Did she seriously develop Stockholm syndrome in one hungover day in the desert?Ugh. The acting, writing, and direction is sub par at best. It is obvious that they really tried to make this a cool movie but just couldn't put the pieces together. It had a few moments where I thought they were on the right track but they were few and far between and it ultimately was a bad batch.

too_forte Bad movie from minute 3, bad performance bad story, boring boring. Rating for this -5
