I found this on Amazon Prime's free movie list and almost immediately turned it off when I saw the poor production value, but in the end, I'm glad that I stuck with. This movie's not for everyone, but in the pantheon of bad sci-fi movies, it's not that bad.
The plot doesn't make perfect sense, but it's action-packed enough to be enjoyable nonetheless. One gets the impression that the writer had a lot more content that got cut because geeze, it's already almost 2 hours long. I get the feeling it would have been a great book series, I hope the author keeps writing. It's the kind of movie that offers a lot of brain food if you like to write your own post-apocalypse stories or RPG settings or such things, but at the same time, it isn't one of those movies with lots of world-building and stale characters. The characters aren't super deep, but they do feel very real. The mood of the movie is somewhat goofy, it's not an angst-ridden apocalypse, but rather a world that the characters have grown up in and come to terms with.
Half-spoiler, the actual plot of the movie has nothing to do with the current plot summary, which was written by the director, which is part of what leads me to believe that the script got heavily edited or a lot of content (probably world-building) got cut out.
