Yeah, I mean it was nothing like I had been expecting - I was expecting like desolate nuclear ridden landscapes and hordes of marauding nutjobs in kilts or something (why kilts, I don't know...) and Mad Max to be a bit of a Rambo or something, judging from the blurb on the back and what I'd heard about it prior to seeing it.
Compare that to another film I saw properly for the first time recently, that being Starship Troopers, that too wasn't what I expected but in a good way - I've never watched a more satirical yet gory sci-fi film! I loved it!
