Dan K What an amazing tribute to 80s movies! Over the top gore and blood is so fake and so awesome! The girl Apple is so super sweet and cute!

w-95794 As bad as movies get ,really bad acting, b grade is a compliment, how anyone can compare it to mad max is insulting to our Aussie icon ,sorry kiwis its rubbish
patomartinezfgo This movie is clearly meant not to be taken seriously. It is a very clear example of an homage to the 80's.Let me start wit the positives of the film. The actions films are bloody terrific (no pun intended). Actually I felt that this movie needed more of that gory action which reminded me a lot of Evil Dead 2 (which is one of my favourite movies). The soundtrack is also really cool and catchy and the movie has the style of an 80's action movie. The movie is over the top in the perfect ways.Unfortunately, this movie is really style over substance. While you laugh at the over-the-top moments of the film, you are also thinking about all the plot-holes in the movie. The biggest problem in the movie is the script, which has boring dialogue and a LOT of plot-holes. Some people also praise the "original" concept of the movie which is really a less exciting version of "Mad Max Fury Road". Of course you might argue that mad max has a much bigger budget for the action scenes, but Mad Max also has much more interesting characters and dialogue.The performances are mostly okay and it is truly amazing that they were able to achieve such incredible practical effects with the low budget that they had.In the end, this is exactly what you expect from an indie movie about a super kid in the Mad Max wasteland.One other thing I find hilarious: The "super-glove" in the film is nothing more than Nintendo's "Power glove" but painted in a different color. I found that hilarious (in a good way).
