Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe robot donkey is a Boston Dynamics 'Big Dog'. The company was owned by Google when the movie was made.
- GoofsThe movie focuses on them needing a robot to transport water, but the main character is later seen driving around in a pickup truck much larger than the robot.
The robot, and the donkey before it, was apparently needed to reach camps in the mountains where vehicles couldn't go, and they were transporting alcohol and supplies, not water.
- 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?

Featured review
This is not post-apocalyptic
I am always on the look out for anything where people are trying to survive a world that is clearly screwed. This came up on some forums as fitting the bill. It isn't. In this world people are a bit thirsty, well some of them are anyway.
This is more like a western in look, feel and in plot.
A struggling farm owner is trying to get the water company to put a main into his farm. The main character is an interesting chap with high morals, including a healthy obligation to his fellow man. He does however have some drinking demons.
What plays out is story of struggle, conflict, betrayal and absolution. Pretty much like a western then.
Performances are great, scenery and production are excellent. The story is grounded and interesting - but not particularly exciting.
A well made film with a good story - just not what I was looking for on the night.
