    This movie is wild. It starts off with a boy and his talking dog like an old live action Disney movie. But it gets real dark, real fast until Topeka, at which point it turns the whole concept around and the rapist is now being raped, which seems super under examined because of the sudden revolution subplot. Again, it’s a wild ride and not for everyone, but I’m glad I saw it.

    I am a fan of all good sci-fi, regardless of the time it was made or the limits of the budget. This one is on the list. I will warn others as it has been pointed out- very rape centric plot and story beats. Be sure to watch it with a good level of suspension of disbelief and understanding of the setting. Beyond that, it is one of the best post apocalyptic stories out there and I wish it was redone with more plot, tighter story, and less rape related with the exception of the Topeka plot line. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys old sci fi or post apoc.

    I’m sorry can you tell me in which year the story takes place? The poster didn’t make it clear enough.
