It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Is this the nastiest, most disgusting movie ever made? Hardly.Is this the most plot-less idiotic movie ever made? Perhaps.Is this the most America-hating, nostalgia-subverting, most flippantly juvenile, most misogynist, most misanthropic, most "dudebro"-pandering movie ever made? Depends. Is this the most endearing story about a friendship between a person and their pet that truly transcends time and space and knows NO boundaries and MEANS IT? Absolutely.

It is a very dark film. It's also a very funny film. It is a very political and very satirical film. It's a very brutal film. And it's also pure magic. See it. Now. I hate films with speaking animals in lead roles. But this one is so different, so out there, so on spot in its bleak message.

Look at it this way: while most dystopic & post-apoclypse movies do either a good or bad job at portraying either human suffering after an extreme catastrophe or war, this movie laughs at the absurdity of human nature where the apocalyptic event besides creating a barren wasteland drove a good deal of people outright nuts. And if Mad Max 2 and 3 had their fair take at poking at least some fun at the post- apocalyptic life this movie does a decent black comedy and does so intentionally.Won't spoil with the details though, but if you have any genuine liking of Fallout franchise then you will definitely recognise several concepts this movie invented that were directly copied into the game with relatively few changes.

Interesting post-apocalyptic movie about a young man (Don Johnson) roaming around with his telepathic dog looking for food and sex. He meets a woman who lures him underground to a place that's unlike anything on the surface.The movie's written and directed by, of all people, western character actor L.Q. Jones. He adapted this from a Harlan Ellison short story. I haven't read the original so I don't know how much of this script is Ellison and how much is Jones. To be clear, the characterizations and dialogue are what make this movie entertaining. The story is nothing special, really. You've seen one post-apocalyptic movie, you've (at least partially) seen them all. It's a very repetitive subgenre of sci-fi. The idea here about the telepathic dogs only works so well because of the great dialogue in the film. Both the dog and Don Johnson's character are well-written and you care about them both throughout the movie. Well, maybe you care more about the dog. Anyway, it's not a bad movie despite some unpleasantness for the sake of the 'dread god realism.' Give it a shot if you like sci-fi of this type or just cult '70s movies in general.
