Indy film, I think, starring nobody that occurs in a U.S. post nuclear war.
For a post nuclear war, the landscape is quite normal. Only once did the main character trek through an area that looks like it was damaged. Must have been the only one they could find.
The main story has our hero searching for his wife whom he believes survived the war based on...nothing. He just thinks she did.
Meanwhile, there's some military group, that isn't really the military, that controls a certain sector, and there's also rumors of mutants, including one that's apparently Jesus.
Whatever. It's all very confusing and mixed together. Especially hard to follow while playing the final mission of Alpha Protocol, which was far more interesting.
I'm not sure I gave this movie a chance, but it didn't do anything to grab my attention.
Cheesy, schizophrenic, and unfocused writing, shitty direction, bad acting, etc. It's all here.
I've got to mention one scene where the hero is trapped by a land mine he stepped on and these guns appear in the forest. Picture a shotgun slowly being lowered to point at someone. The gimmick here is that you can't see the person. It's so obvious that nobody is there, but you wonder how the guns lowered. Then about 45 seconds later they show the guns going up and there's a massive string tied to it. So fucking obvious that they removed the string with effects in the first scene just to try and fool the viewer. Pathetic.
2 out of 10.
