I found it on VHS quite a few years ago and bought it, because I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to see it again. (Oh, if only I'd known how glorious the Internets would be....) That's one of the better "apocalyptic" films out there, not only because it's not a mindless slog through unending misery like so many of them are -- the final Looking Glass/AFO pursuit being just brilliant. But tempting as it is to allow that distinction to put it in a sorta sub-apocalyptic genre, I think it the toll it takes on its cast is acceptably bleak.

And dude, Powers Boothe, Martin Landau and James Earl Jones? Hell, it could be a radio play and it'd be no less awesome.
