Synopsis

In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United 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.

htexforcecon I think this movie is super cool. One critic said this was possibly the worst movie ever. What a phony.
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.
chriskun-16926 This is one of those movies I can watch repeatedly. Sure it's not perfect but I give it a 10. The actor who played General Bethleham did absolutely perfect and I liked Kevin Costner very much. It's a great story that doesn't totally make sense but it's 100 times better than most movies like Star Wars the last jedi.
Darryl Jones As a whole I love this film. The premise of the story was probably the best thing about the film. I would certainly like to read the book if there is one. This movie could have been improved with better editing and changes to the dialogue. There is a bit of exposition here and there that rankled with me a tiny bit. A few of the minor characters gave some unconvincing performances but on the whole the acting was decent enough. It was certainly the editing that let the film down. Realistically it probably could have done with being longer since certain stages of the story seemed rushed. I would love to see this as a series. The soundtrack is very well orchestrated and in places contributed massively to the emotional build ups. The main musical theme was almost identical to the one from 'The Castaway' and there are also similarities in some of the symbolism (Obviously this film came first). Some of the costuming at the very end was a bit strange. I certainly recommend this film! It really is quite engrossing, one of those ones that really capture the imagination on a rainy night!
