Warning: Spoilers
I must say, this movie should have received at least 10 Oscar nominations. Special effects alone should have received 5-6, (!!!!WARNING, SPOILERS UP AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!)you'll know what I mean when you see the sweet opening sequence involving a CG Asteroid and stock file footage of a volcano erupting! When I first rented the movie, I must say that I expected the movie would be set in new york and have a man dressed in medieval armor with his face painted, all of which were on the DVD cover. I was slightly disappointed when the movie had nothing to do with the man in medieval armor, a war, new york, dreams, or warriors. I was also very confused as to why the movie only included cars from the 1930s or 1960s. Even though there are about 13 trillion Toyota Camrys and Ford Taurus,' the characters apparently could only find cars that are rare in todays world, like some 1930s antique Hitler-mobile. I guess the asteroid mustve hit all the Japanese car plants and somehow all the rarest antiques in the world survived. And apparently they're all solar powered now, because all gas stations were destroyed as well. Although you would be pleasantly surprised at how simple it is to convert a gas engine to solar power, you pretty much just connect a couple wires to a solar panel. The battle-bikes or Nazi-cycles were also a vehicle highlight! Yet, the movie was oddly pleasing, especially the performance of the girl with lightning powers, who was a real scene stealer. I'm so thankful Isaac Hayes got time off his busy schedule to co-star with THE, yes THE Lance Henriksen. Not as good as Surf Nazis must die though, this movie did not have a character as compelling as Mama Washington.
