Starts out goony enough but it won me over in the end. There really is some fantastic cinematography here, especially in the more dramatic scenes. Great final act.

For some reason, I cannot get this out of my head. And it's been months. It's a combination of the spectacle of renaissance bikers, a healthy mix of drama/action, Ed Harris yelling all over the place, and the realization (of which constant reminding was needed) that Romero did this. All the flaws aside, it's certainly memorable.

Seemed like the King was supposed to be almost a John Galt type character, whose ideals were just too strict for him to live in the real world. The premise of this seems incredibly silly at first, but I couldn't help but feel affected by it. Certain events that I will not spoil here are absolutely unforgettable and impeccably filmed. There is some awesome cinematography in this. It's far from perfect, but I really liked it.

George A. Romero does a nonmonster movie. Not bad but he seems to be singing way above his range

Passes the time.

I really admire what Romero is trying to say here, between all the noise from the engines. Some technical flaws and unfortunate doses of melodrama harm the overrall picture, but it has a colourful, interesting core. An interesting film from Romero, who always seem to mix the cheerful and sombre.
