In 2013 there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the Unites States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.

Too long for it's own good. The last 15 minutes are epic and tie together nicely. Overall, a great story (even though it deviated from the book) of hope triumphant.

Although the movie is very long, it kept me interested throughout. This one is much better than Kevin Costner's Waterworld, in my opinion. I have no idea why I didn't find and watch this movie before today. This is definitely a hidden gem. Especially, if you are a fan of Kevin Costner. Also, good lord, Olivia Williams looks so beautiful in this movie.

Entertaining movie, yet could have been a lot better if it had been closer to the book. I understand the removal of some elements from the book... but in the end, the only element they took from it is the fact that the main character steals the uniform from a corpse in a car. Everything else is made up.

Who will be responsible now, for these wayward children?

That's a phrase that's in the book, but not the movie. I liked David Brin's tale of the communities growing up from a near-apocalypse and the conman, "Gordon Krantz."

When I first saw the (overlong) movie, I was disappointed and felt Res More

This movie fits firmly in the "it's so bad it's good" category.
It's so outrageous, that you just have to see how it's going to end up.

The dialogue/scripts are woeful... but they are delivered with such passion that it almost leaves you breathless.

At the end of the movie, I had no idea what More

I do enjoyed this movie I think the story is very interesting and pretty original I love the way they build up this apocalyptic world I also love how they really just don't bother telling you how anything happened it's not really important to the story of the movie how we got to this point More

So. Here we are. The third movie directed by Kevin Costner - after Dances with the wolves (good classic movie) and Open Range.
The last one, Postman however is very medicore. It's not bad, but is it good ?

Well, it sounds simple, but it's way more complicated.

Actually there are two m More
