Details

In 2013 there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the Unites States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.

Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
djfrost-46786 I would watch this movie again over Die Hard 2 or Die Hard 3. I don't get why this movie is so low in ratings n the Die hards are so high. This movie has alot of emotion with action. At some points it reminds u of I Am Legend.
nancyrkamp I saw this movie once and did not appreciate it. However for some strange reason, my thoughts always came back to it. Watching it a second time, many years later, I know I will watch it again and again, because there is more to it then meets the eye. It is now my favorite.
vytautas-kiausas This movie is like watching history long past as Lithuanian. When my country was divided between Prussia, Austro-Hungarian, Russian Empires they banned Lithuanian language and literature, they wanted to wipe us out of existance. Then men called Knygneshiai - book bearers appeared. They brought books and letters from Prussia which even though had our land didn't want us gone. These were brave men who risked their lives, many did, to protect and preserve our fathers and mothers memories alive. I give this movie a solid 10, because this reality is more real then people might think.
Nexus_07 Replicant When everyone thought Kevin Costner have learned from the Waterworld disaster, he stroke back with this. Just wishful thinking. The postman is simply Waterworld on the ground. A post apocalyptic world with some bad guys that have as their leader a very very bad guy. The best way they have to have fun is harass people around. Have seen that before? Yes, you have. Since Mad Max script writers have been insisting on the idea, translating it to different environments as if that was a way to make something new and creative. And, heavens! I really can't understand the true obsession American script writers have with the "Militia" thing. Must perhaps be due to the fact that in USA the gun rules since the old west times and their psychology can't get rid from that fetish.
