Wonderful Movie
One of my all time favorites.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Blistering performances.
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.
Please, don't waste your time watching it. No scriptwritter, progress and ending. The girl have no idea what she's doing entire movie, and finishes that way.
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Slow with very little dialogue and not much of a point. Hard to talk about the acting because no one really does or says anything. I think whoever wrote this was on drugs, and maybe you have to be on drugs to understand the point of it. It is really one of the worst movies I've every seen. If this even qualifies as a movie.
I agree with jtindahouse with his/her review. I wouldn't have watched it if its not for Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi, Jason Momoa and others. Such great actors being mixed up with such a lousy boring disaster of a movie. Please do not make a mistake of selecting this movie from Netflix, or you'll just have to brace yourself for a long and painful couple of wasted hours.
