Scorched Earth (2018)

Powerful

Awesome Movie

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

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.

There are of course lots of post-apocalyptic movies out there and the question is if we needed another one. Well we didn't but to rate this movie low because of that reason is not fair imho. I like ms. Carano although she's not an actress by nature, you cannot say she does not try her best. There are a lot of movies and series which are a lot worse, Dc's Legends for example that is rated higher than this movie and in which the acting is abominable. So, is this movie worth watching? On a cold and rainy day it is. And for ms. Carano: you're worth a lot more movies higher on the ladder, Haywire-like.

This is a really so-so movie. Good repetitive story weakened by poor script. Acting wasn't good enough. Gina is the most fitting thing here, however not at her best either. Not a bad B-movie anyway..

When you walk into this, you get the feel that you're going to be watching some pretty good over-the-top camp. But you don't get the elements of good camp here. It sits squarely and firmly in that awkward place, where they either needed to improve the drama, and make this a serious film about global warming, or push it further, and give us some humor and outlandish action. You get neither of those things; just badly choreographed fist fights.With the exception of Jackson, who might have some acting chops (he actually emoted! gasp!), the acting is tediously mediocre. I wouldn't let the inclusion of most of these actors deter me from future films, but if they weren't in this movie just for the paycheck, and doing their bare minimum, they need to find new careers or ramp up their lessons. And it's just not bad enough to loop around back to so-bad-it's-good. It feels like a cheap made-for-TV, late night slot time Syfy filler flick.The props, I'll admit, are lovely. But they should have taken 75% of the prop budget and put it into writing and casting instead. I made it all the way through the movie, I'll grant it that, and maybe a single star isn't really warranted. But I feel like if you're going to be bad, be gloriously bad. Don't be this painfully forgettable mishmash of nothing impressive at all.

Watchable, giving the plots partly similar to both Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" and "Pale Rider" with a bit of Mad Maxish's enemy wasteland cars. Though none of the editing scene to scene were irritating throughout. The actors are average but not imposing enough with the exception of Gina's acting, she is certainly suited for more kick-ass heroine roles in movieland.
