Review

post-apocalyptic film with an odd tone and supporting character (a snarky, talking dog). it’s got a good tone to it and it’s a nice little story, but it’s not the best post-apocalyptic film i’ve ever seen. don johnson is pretty good. the real winner here, though, is the writing of the dog’s character. he’s real sarcastic and annoyed by the simplicity and occasional stupidity of johnson’s character. it makes for a good dynamic.

the whole underground society thing was psychedelic. the female dominated element reminded me of an episode of the original star trek.
