Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among fans of end-of-the-world stories and anyone who likes big what-if ideas, this one's for you. It builds a whole broken world and makes you live in it. Same wavelength as Terminator 2: Judgment Day or Mad Max: Fury Road. Built to entertain rather than impress the critics, and audiences love it for that.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

In a post-apocalyptic future, bounty hunter Attica Gage pursues a ruthless outlaw at the head of a dangerous criminal gang.
