Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

That's about all I want to say regarding the "director's cut" version of this movie. Sorry Mr. Stevenson. It is not very good I'm afraid. But the music's alright.And the comparison to ELI (on Amazon Prime) was rather misleading and not at all accurate. I love ELI so my hope was this would be close. NOPE. Then there is the fact that I inadvertently paid for this (as a Amazon Prime member it should be free). The music is Goya's Child which is a band I'd not heard of before. So I guess I got something for my $2.99.Additionally, I'm expected to fill up 10 lines of text or my review will not be posted. Am I back in high school? I enjoy reading/writing succinct reviews. This is just not fair.

Having just this second finished watching this movie for the first time, then reading the profusion of negative reviews here, I wanted to add my two cents.The only real problem with Freedom Deep is the baffling description its makers have attached to it. I suppose you could suss out the details if you were looking for them, but without any real dialogue the official synopsis sounds like a far fetched fan theory. That doesn't mean it's a bad movie, though. If you expect a torrent of near-psychedelic images that dances somewhere between Richard Stanley and Pink Floyd's The Wall, you'll be more than pleased. That Aaron Stevenson compares it to the Book of Eli is not only inexplicable, it doesn't do the movie justice.As an aside, the DVD copy I watched had some sound artifacts on it. I don't know if this is in all prints or I just got a bad one. Checking online I found that the soundtrack is by Goya's Child, of whom I'm now a huge fan. So I guess that's a silver lining to bad audio.Anyway, don't believe the wildly harsh reviews. Just know what you're getting into before you pop in an hour long surreal music video while expecting Mad Max.

This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I actually watched it all the way through to see if it could get any worse than it was at the beginning. It did! It appears to be 2 separate movies spliced together. The only thing interesting about it was the fact that some, if not all of it, was filmed around Melbourne, Australia, where my son attended Veterinary School. If it weren't for the opportunity to pick out recognizable landmarks, this movie would have been unbearable to watch. It was extremely painful to view anyway. It is difficult to tell if the people who put this movie together were serious in their intentions or were just trying for an oddball campy look. In any event it came out badly.

This is one of those flicks with great visuals and soundtrack that ya can just sit back and take in. There's some serious undertones and bulk references to pop culture that are just under the surface. A bit like Pink Floyds THE WALL meets HIGHLANDER. The look is also a little MAD MAX. The soundtrack by Goya's Child keeps the momentum and pace. I particularly liked the flashback sequences to the past that are presented in a washed out grainy sort of look that contrast well with the future high tech 35mm scenes. The themes raised touch on religion, homosexuality, parenthood, victimization, ambition, mythology etc. The stars appear to be new comers i.e Peter Benson, Lorelei Garner, Oliver Dutton, Charles Wood, Ross Simmons but performances are solid throughout. The premise concerns an assassin hunting down a prophet poet in the future across the wasteland. We don't really find out exactly who sent her and an uneasy alliance and eventual romance of sorts develops..... A grungy voice over lends an unsettling presence and is the last performance by Harold Baigent the narrator of MAD MAX 2 The Road Warrior.
