I am a huge fan of post-apocalyptic films, and I've seen many corny underground productions, but until now I've somehow managed to miss out on this little(long) gem.
The movie is really cozy and uplifting, something that i have yet to see in a movie in this genre. However, you have to see beyond the stars and bars of the flag the Postman fights for, and think about what it might mean in a world filled with chaos and despair, otherwise it might feel a bit tacky.
The idea that the young people of the destroyed earth longs for something bigger and "decent" is terrific. I could see myself as a post-carrier in the sinister future that might be waiting for us.
There is no people in ice-hockey armour, no bad-ass cars and no mohawk hair, but i didn't even miss it once during the whole movie (almost 3 hours). Instead Costner has created a sort of wild west world that is fresh and interesting to watch.
So if you like PA movies, don't miss this one!
Ps. This film reminded me very much of a brilliant post-apocalyptic book that everyone who loves this genre MUST read : Lucifers Hammer.
