The plot: A DJ, a pregnant woman, and some others try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.I don't know. I tried to give this film a chance. I saw all the negative reviews, and I thought to myself, "Maybe I'll like it. I don't mind slow pacing or low budgets, and I often like existential dramas." However, this was just too much to take. For vast stretches of time, nothing happens except people talking cryptically about stuff I really didn't care about. The music really annoyed me, but I figured they would move on from playing this horrible country music, eventually -- but, no, it just kept going on and on. I glanced at my screen and saw there was still another 30 minutes left. I admit it. I bailed. I couldn't take it any more. No more pointless dialogue about mystical crap, detestable music, or boring characters.The plot is a ripoff of Children of Men, the actors are from TV shows, and the music will annoy anyone under 60. I really don't know who this film was made for, but it wasn't made for people like me. I guess it's meant to be an uplifting story about plucky survivors and their metaphysical journey to rediscover America, which has been blah blah blah. Who cares? I sure don't. It takes the worst of New Age hippies and low budget, B movies, throws them together, and mixes in a bunch of country music. Ugh. Truthfully, I would have preferred yet another mindless ripoff of Mad Max than this.

Picture if someone had a good simple plot that was easy to relate to, had an interesting situation, borrowed a little from the fallout games and then totally screwed up the film, that's this movie.It's incoherent at times and tries way too hard to have a message and be deep. It could have tried a little less psychological/metaphysical analysis and a tiny bit of coherence.There is a dual or maybe triple quest going on here among the protagonists that is poorly developed and difficult to give a darn about.SPOILER: Oh look one of the main characters is pregnant. No one has seen a kid in at least 15 years and some characters haven't ever seen a pregnant woman and yet it's still treated as a ho-hum sort of situation.

I got this out of redbox - not knowing what to expect, go to redbox's site and look up the movie. The cover is totally different than what the movie ends up being about. There are no wolves or half naked, fully loaded women.However I was caught and couldn't look away from the story and the characters that came into view. Yes there were some sci-fi bits that didn't make sense but in a setting of such, why not. Plus unexplained mysticism is as it should be.I guess what it comes down to, I liked the story and the characters in it. I have seen plenty of high budget movies that were downright boring and had no meaning other then flash bang boom. I like movies that bring some good storytelling and allow one to think about some of the unknowns. Its like when you read a good book and the ideal and the story stays with your for a while. In a way it reminds me of how evil dead started. Low budget by just a few ppl.Each to there own. I suggest you give it a try !!

This movie is only any good if you like horrible movies.Nothing made sense. And when I say nothing, I mean: nothing. I don't think I've ever asked the question "What?" so many times in the span of a couple hours.The music never seemed to match the scene. The dummy was completely unnecessary. The acting was horrendous. Azura's character was not okay with having her baby in a cave (w/fresh spring water) but was perfectly fine with giving birth in an abandoned building. My biggest problem is with the baby crazed woman. She gives birth to a less than perfect baby (large birth marks and mentally handicapped) and is extremely bitter about it, so much so that she's abusive towards him.
