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
More Michael Shannon!
Set in the future when water is hard to find a teenage boy sets out to protect his family and survive.
In a small way, this works as a companion piece to "Interstellar". Both are futuristic, science fiction movies that address a world consumed by drought. And both were released in 2014. That may be just about the only overlap, but it makes them a nice pair, and also makes me want to watch "Dune".
Somehow, though, this film never really grabs your attention. Elle Fanning is decent, and Kodi Smit-McPhee is a good actor (and a nice guy). Maybe this needed more Michael Shannon? He is, of course, among the best actors in the business today.
