Really good watch, might watch again, and can recommend. Despite a lot of very obvious problems this movie has, it is surprisingly refreshing. It takes what can sometimes be a boring setting of "post apocalyptic dystopia" and does a lot of new things with it. Notably they cast Kate Bosworth (Lois Lane, "Superman Returns"), Tyler Hoechlin (CW Superman), and Lance Reddick (The Haitian, "Heroes") who all give a great performance for the situations they are given, generally against faceless, or at least generic, forces of violence.
