Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe robot donkey is a Boston Dynamics 'Big Dog'. The company was owned by Google when the movie was made.
- GoofsThe movie focuses on them needing a robot to transport water, but the main character is later seen driving around in a pickup truck much larger than the robot.
The robot, and the donkey before it, was apparently needed to reach camps in the mountains where vehicles couldn't go, and they were transporting alcohol and supplies, not water.
- Quotes
Ernest Holm: Yeah, that is all I am saying. You do not gotta marry her. You don't wanna wait around thinking something is gonna come. Waitin' is a fucking disease. Think something? Feel something? You should *do* something. Alright?

Featured review
Art house Sci-Fi 'must see'
If you love the artistic and non-mainstream risks taken by art-house films, then Young Ones belongs on your watch list with other indie Sci-Fis such as Lars von Trier's Melancholia, Juan Solanas' Upside Down, and Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem.
A gritty film about pioneers in a drought ridden landscape, it's a futuristic dust bowl tale as grim as Grapes of Wrath. It's memorable and keeps your attention, while portraying Sci-Fi in a very believable way. The mix of poverty and high technology, the extremes of the haves and have-nots, and water shortages in the US, amplifies the current state of a society as all good sci-fi films do.
Good actors and acting, and gorgeous to watch. What's not to like?
