After watching this, I'm wondering if the people who created the Fallout game series took some inspiration from this film. There's the old west, robots, guns, the desert, explosions, eccentric characters, the 50's, all wrapped in a 1 hr 40 minute wild ride.
The film itself is...a bit rough on the edges and there are gaps in logic (a whole scene with the mustang and crossing the water doesn't entirely make sense), and there's also large chunks of backstory missing as to why the world is in the state that it is in for this film, but from a big picture standpoint, it works ok just as long as one does not get fixated on the details. Melanie Griffith's acting in this film is a bit flat, but David Andrews (as her opposite lead) picks up the slack.
This is definitely one of the better films that I stayed up late to watch that leaves me with a warm fuzzy feeling. It's just fun.
