Directed by Kevin Costner
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare, and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.

Viewing Notes
First movie of 2013 was a revisit of a Kevin Costner post-apocalyptic flop. I saw it when it first came out and remembered being underwhelmed, but thought I’d pay it another visit since my tastes sometimes change over time.
Nope, still pretty mediocre and much too long. It’s also really crippled by not giving the main antagonist any real meaning or objective (except to kill the postman). The whole thing feels pointless.
