In the Lost Lands Is So Metal It Hurts
Paul W.S. Anderson returns, this time with a postapocalyptic medieval fantasy sci-fi western fable adapted from a George R.R. Martin short story.
It has some familiar features of the postapocalyptic — ruined, smoking landscapes; busted industrial cityscapes; giant mines filled with faceless, chanting hordes à la Mad Max: Fury Road — crossed with elements of medieval fantasy. Anderson regularly cuts to a map showing us where the characters are on their journey — a device he also used in the Resident Evil movies — and he keeps time via an onscreen steampunk watch face that tells us how long it will be until the next full moon. They’re pursued by a group of modern-day Crusader knights led by the Enforcer (Arly Jover), who is in service to the Patriarch (Fraser James), a backstabbing church leader who seeks to unseat the Queen.
