So many questions: How long has it been? Why are teenagers immune? Do they succumb when they reach a certain age? Are there other communities, or are they all alone? Are they surviving on canned goods, or have they developed agriculture? Why is the electricity still on?
Not to worry, it's not important; the goal is to get the teens alone. They have divided into two societies, as over-the-top good and evil as Boulder and Las Vegas in The Stand.
The East Side is a laid-back hippie commune, run by the saintly, "we're all in this together" Jack (Alexandre Bourgeois). He keeps admitting refugees, such as Sony (Ajay Friese, left), but for some unexplained reason, he doesn't like dogs.
The West Side is a heavily stratified, heavily militarized totalitarian dictatorship, where they kill refugees. It is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West.. um, I mean Jeremy (Munro Chambers), who also kills his own people for such offenses as failing to meet work quotas.
It's a surprisingly long way to the West Side; it takes them two days to get there, even with a car.
There's some blood, a lot of rock music, and some heart-to-hearts. Dr. Evil is killed, and his successor promises "Things are going to be different around here." The four friends head for home. The end.
Hetero-horniness: None. No one seems particularly interested in sex except for a border guard who tries to rape Nat. Sony tries to kiss her, but is quickly rebuffed with "I'm not..."
Gay characters: You're not what, Nat? The two girls are certainly gay coded, but at one point Nat clarifies: "You're not my boyfriend!", thus establishing her as both heterosexual and unaware that gay people exist.
Bondage: No one has ever heard of rope. All captives, including Jack, just stand there.
Beefcake: None. No shirts come off. There are quite a few cute actors, so I'll try to find shirtless pics from othe productions. Unfortunately, other than 1. Jeremy, 2. Jack, and 3. Sony, I have no idea who is who.
6. Darnell Bartholomew as a Westside Guard
7. Jake Sim (not Sims) as Flick, who I think is second in command.
8. Chris Mark as Sean. He couldn't have been shot in the locker room?
9.Carson MacCormac (left) as Spit. Come on, one "frolicking in the river" shot for the gay male viewers?
10. Keanu Lee Nunes as a miscellaneous Titan.
I give up.
I'll give the movie a B-. Points for its raucous energy and lack of hetero-horniness. Demerits for the ludicrous villain and closeting the lesbian couple.
And closeting the physiques.
