Posted here instead of the sticked thread because Scorched Earth is essentially an accidental throwback to the VHS era of cheap, crappy movies that attempt to ride the coattails of 'real' films. Its grubby, visibly cheap, action poor, and extremely derivitive(it practically writes its own MST3K episode, in another era it would be). I found it a fascinating watch all the same. I actually (humble brag) saw it theatrically today, at a seemingly not well attended, not exactly top of the line theater in a distant suburb of St. Paul, one of only ten theaters doing so on the whole continent. Of course it screened to an audience of one. Its aestethic screams 'Canadian Backlot' or 'SyFy Channel Original Film', and you dont often get the chance to see that kind of film on a big screen. I actually like Gina Carano, yes, as an actor. Yeah, her dialog is terrible (everyone's is), but she's winningly sincere in material that doesn't deserve it, and she aint worse than Seagal, Norris, or early to cocaine era Van Damme. Shame that this is seemingly the best vehicle she can get right now. Oh well, at least its better than the latter day Seagal movies (aint that faint praise).VIDEO
