Saw it last night. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't very good either. Denzel is good, as always, and the story is somewhat interesting. The badguys are cardboard cutouts of tried and true archtypes, though, the imagery is stark but nothing new, and there are a few plot holes. The "twist" at the end was pretty obvious too, IMHO.

I recommend that you save yourself a few bucks by either waiting for it to appear at a discount theater or renting it once it's released on DVD.

I saw it last night as well....

I found it to be a bit of a mix between the movie version of - The Postman and Mad Max

Darker than either of those films.

Not a family film.

Besides the rather CGI-ish decapitations, there are several scenes of attempted rape and one particular disturbing scene (for me) of 'off screen' rape and murder.

All that said you can definitely feel the Fallout feel to the movie and i found some shots and angles to be straight out of my Fallout 3 game. Which is a VERY good thing.

Overall: B- for twilight fans.
