Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …there are the kind of big, epic moments that you’d expect from the mid 70’s end-of-the-world blockbuster, but there’s also absolutely cringe special effects and one of the most underwhelming endings in cinema…. Rated: 3/5 Jan 17, 2024 Full Review John Brosnan Starburst What really sinks this film is the lackluster direction... and script. Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Fernando Trueba El Pais (Spain) An absolutely cheap dud. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 31, 2019 Full Review R.L. Shaffer IGN DVD Slow moving, with cheesy visual effects and some nasty B-movie trappings. But the story and setting are both dreary and fascinating. And performances are top notch. Rated: 6/10 Jan 29, 2012 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall gonzo guilty pleasure Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jun 25, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Aze D This is a classic 70's B-movie. Sure, it has some standard post apocalyptic tropes and plot gaps but it also has some interesting concepts. The killer cockroaches that only eat organic material and the cool roadmaster vehicle make it worth a watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review NiB Y A campy and fun Sci-Fi & Dystopic superproduction. It ends abruptly and the characters are quite... stupid; but it's a solid visual effects wonder with a nice story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Jeff P I remember this movie when I was a kid. Great entertainment at the time. Knowing the cast members from TV shows such as the A-Team and Air Wolf doesn't hurt. It is cheesy, but I still love it. I just read that George Lucas worked with Alan Ladd, Studio Chief, and took a 1/4 of the production money from this film to make Star Wars. This explains a lot and probably was for the best. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I was only going to give it four stars till I read this. Five Stars and why not. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Emanuel B Not a great post-apocalyptic film, possibly because all the characters are so damned happy and jolly as if they are on a Sunday outing. Where's the trauma of losing everything and being isolated from the rest of humanity? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review cees t 3/10 - No good, except for the disaster scene that reminded me of Spice World and the cool guy on the bike that reminded me of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Rarely have I seen worse than this. Giant scorpions and stock footage nuclear explosions. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
