Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Ludicrous!
Glen and Randa doesn't "end on a hopeless note" at all! But I won't spoil the ending for you. This is a movie about discovery and learning, with all of 1970's current society removed and only people left - except for one crazy cat with a motorcycle and tech toys. Sort of a hippie paradise, except for the radioactivity. If you have any interest in great High Concept sci-fi no matter what the budget, this is a must see.
Rating: - Apocalypse What
I thought this was a really interesting antidote to all of the mow-hawked and black leather-wearing silliness that seems to occur after the apocalypse in every other movie of this type. There are no marauding gangs of motorbike riders here; The innocence and ignorance of the titular characters is alarming enough; seeing them foolishly expend all of their wooden matches because its amusing to them before they attempt to cross what looks like the Cascade Mountain range is painful to watch!

Rating:  - A small sad vision of the post-apocalypse
Before Jim McBride became a famous producer/director, he made the ultra low budget "Glen and Randa" in 1970.

The futileness of their quest is brought home in that we (the audience) know from the outset-- there is no such place. This makes the movie's touching conclusion all the ... Read More
Rating: - The Search for Metropolis
This is a post-apocalypic film in which a young man, accompained by his pregnant girl friend, search for the city of Metropolis, which he had seen in a comic book he found.
I originally saw it in its theatrical release, when it was X-rated due to sex and nudity (the film begins with the couple making love in a car body stuck in a tree). It's pretty mild by today's standards.
I was impressed at the time with the scenes of people searching through a ruined Howard Johnson's for canned ... Read More
Rating: - the most realistic "post apocalyptic" movie ever
I'll keep it short. This film follows two teenagers through their attempts to cope in a world strewn with the debris of a collapsed civilisation (ours). Oddly poignant and wonderfully lacking in any pretentious silliness about "what might happen," i would recommend this film to anyone who likes films that address the ways real human beings try to get by in their lives and also has a penchant for quality science fiction.
