    Stay away

    As I've used this site to build up my library of movies i feel obliged to warn you. This is my first review, and i only write this to warn you against; poor performance from actors (poor acting), poor story and poor effects. Sean Bean is always good and thats why i gave it 2 stars. I bought this garbage on blue ray and i'm tempted to sell it on E-bay for half price, don't waste your time watching this and for heaven sake don't buy it.

    Much better in the same genre is "the postman" and "the road". Those movies got fabulous acting, a good story and are worth a place in a respectable collection.

    Underrated Adventure

    In a post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors led by Uri (Tertius Meintjes) and the ancients are organized in tribe, in a primitive society without technology and lives in a small village in the Grey Rock National Park surrounded by beasts that transmit a disease that transforms the victims in mutants. Uri's son Savan (Corey Sevier) is the best hunter of their tribe and successor of his father, while Kaleb (Sam Claflin) is the best tracker and together with his sister Miru (Eleanor Tomlinson), they are the only survivors that can read and writer. Their father Jaret believed that it might exist other survivors outside Grey Rock and left them alone to wander around the area. Kaled is a dreamer and secretly loves Savan's woman Dorel (Annabelle Wallis).

    When the beats surprisingly attack Uri's hamlet, a group runs to a cave and block the entrance with logs. Kaleb saves Dorel from a beast and sooner Savan meets them. Out of the blue, the stranger Amal (Sean Bean) approaches to the trio and invites them to join his family, composed by his wife Neenah (Jessica Haines) and their son Persk that lives in the outskirt of Grey Rock protected by a river. Sooner Amal discloses to them that Jaret had found the formula of a yellow powder that cures the sick persons. However, the evil Gagen (Jonathan Pienaar) had stolen the powder and kept with him. Amal, Savan, Kaleb and Dorel travel together to find Gagen and bring the yellow powder to their tribe.

    Yesterday I saw "The Lost Future" and based on the 4.7 IMDb User Rating, I found it an underrated adventure. The story is entertaining and Sean Bean and the unknown actors and actresses have good performances. The special effects are decent and fortunately I did not give credit to the bitter users that were not able to appreciate a pleasant adventure. My vote is seven.

    I regret that I finished it..

    There are movies that you watch and think! How did they manage to get money to make movies like this? (similar like Tomatoes Killers(and sequels) I do realize we all have our own taste in movies, but seriously!!! Story line, logic, the way people look, their believes...etc. They could of make movies like this back in 60. What happens when we watch some fantasy or Sci-Fi movies of 60's? we giggle and think... "this does not seams real... nether this... this would not evolve into that... this is just silly..." and so on! Just like this movie! What is the verdict? Do not watch this movies unless your only alternative for evening entertainment is smashing your head against the wall. This movies will not give you any idea of what would world look like after post-apocalyptic event! It will not wider your horizons of imagination or what ever.... p.s. Sean Bean is a good actor! He must of had money problems why he accepted this role, or it was a favor to some producer...

    Tip top Sci-fi

    Here is a tip top made for TV Sci-Fi movie. The script is clever, the film belies it's budget looking fab with the South African locations and all the cast shine.The creature effects are excellent and the action gallops along with some style.I would of really liked to have seen this on a big cinema screen rather than my TV,big as it is, with the bloody adverts every 10 muns butting in.Another problem with watching films on TV here in the UK is the TV channel logo top right all the way through a film. Someone explain why? I know which station i am on. Anyway can't fault this film so it gets top marks from me mainly due to 60 years of not seeing this plot used before in the Sci-fi genre.Well worth your time or rent it without fear of the cost.

    Decent for a low budget.

    While this is a low budget B movie, it has its charms. Sean Bean's character will surprise you as his role doesn't succumb to what most of his characters seem to. If you've got nothing else to watch and want a post apocalyptic film, then this might fill your time.

      The part of Amal was written with Sean Bean in mind, even before the actor agreed to do the film.
    • Goofs
      Barely surviving in a stone age culture explains why all the men have beards, yet somehow all the women have shaved armpits and legs.
    • Quotes

      Dorel: Kaleb, what is this?

      Kaleb: It's a book.

      Dorel: What do you do with it?

      Kaleb: It's from the past. People used to put their thoughts and ideas in books like this. After the disease came everyone was too busy trying to survive. Books died.
