Set in a near future when water has become the most precious and dwindling resource on the planet, the hardened survivors of the loss of EarthÂ’s precious resources scrape and struggle. Ernest Holm lives on this harsh frontier with his children, Jerome and Mary. He defends his farm from bandits, works the supply routes, and hopes to rejuvenate the soil. But Mary's boyfriend, Flem Lever, has grander designs. He wants Ernest's land for himself, and will go to any length to get it.

    • Trivia
      The robot donkey is a Boston Dynamics 'Big Dog'. The company was owned by Google when the movie was made.
    • Goofs
      Jerome (and the donkey) are startled when Earnest shoots the second water thief at the beginning. They're all located in a vast plain and Jerome isn't far from Earnest. It's hard to believe Jerome wasn't transfixed on his father in a firearm confrontation within shouting distance.
    • Quotes

      Ernest Holm: Yeah, that is all I am saying. You do not gotta marry her. You don't wanna wait around thinking something is gonna come. Waitin' is a fucking disease. Think something? Feel something? You should *do* something. Alright?

    In the middle.
    The movie doesn't add much to the sci-fi genre.But, the story can be interesting if you pay a lot of attention. That's one of the major problems with this movie: The story starts in a boring way making it a challenge to keep up watching but it changes it's paste when getting near to the end.At least, the actors did their best to show emotions(which are basically anger & revenge). What i liked a lot was that the movie shows many young actors with potential to make more interesting movies IF they still follow these same styles of films. I somehow feel that this movie could have been much more if the story was developed in a other way. In conclusion, i think this movie was not that bad but neither would i watch it again.
