Still horrible 30 years later...
21 February 2022
Just a superficial treatment of Margaret Atwood's novel that strays so far from the book's storyline and with such a superficial shallow treatment as to make it virtually pointless. Wooden acting, horrible directing (i e. Women raking gravel and puttingg it back in bags? As if the director gave them rakes and shovels and said here do something. In good movies details matter, in this movie they don't).

Atwood's novel dealt less with the physical force (ie soldiers) and more with the rigid societal structure and its accompanying corruption and contradictions, and how those things, along with a gentle shove, led to its downfall. This movie has none of that and the similarly plotted Logan's Run contains more depth than this sloppy piece of doo doo.
