Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

davidtllim I agree with jtindahouse with his/her review. I wouldn't have watched it if its not for Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi, Jason Momoa and others. Such great actors being mixed up with such a lousy boring disaster of a movie. Please do not make a mistake of selecting this movie from Netflix, or you'll just have to brace yourself for a long and painful couple of wasted hours.

davelowen Really hoped this was going to go somewhere but it didn't. It got stuck in a desert of nothing

aquascape "The Bad Batch" heavily borrows elements from "Mad Max" but without concluding to anything really, having a slow narrative with minimum dialogue.The film takes place in an post-apocalyptic desert wasteland and follows a young woman captured by cannibals who chop off her right arm and leg and plan to eat her piece by piece. She eventually escapes the cruelty of those creatures, led by Jason Momoa, and wander off into the desert. There really isn't any plot or main story, the protagonist treks the empty barren land until she meets various strangers, like a helpful but crazy hermit, played questionably by Jim Carrey, who's current real-life state of affair could probably be transposed into the character with ease. Keanu Reeves also plays a strange person called the Dream, the cult leader of a settlement. With more depth to the characters and back-story, I think this film could have turned out nicely, while adding maybe another side-story to it.The film's soundtrack was definitely odd, from Ace of Base to Die Antwoord to strange rave music. I was confused on what feelings to assess by connecting the scenes with the music."The Bad Batch" is definitely one of those bizarre and offbeat independent movies that fall under the radar. I wouldn't say it was a good or bad movie and it wouldn't be on the top of my head when recommending post-apocalyptic movies, but "The Bad Batch" had some interesting parts that I probably won't forget for some time.

Yaroslav Zaitsev (yarik83) If you look through my extensive history of rating movies over the many years of being an imdb member, you would know that I only reserve good grades for most special of films. I grade things with brutal honesty and it takes A LOT to get me to grade something a 7, let along 8 or 9 but this, I strongly feel, deserves a 10. Yes a ten. Camera work is spectacular. Scene composition is absolutely amazing. Most of the scenes do not even require dialogue. Every gesture, every facial expression, every little detail was not missed. Watching silent clips was like watching entire conversation because it was about the scene.... not some lazy rehashed instant gratification copy paste algorithm that is applied to movies. This movie literally had a story line and that story line was of a post apocalyptic no hope at all, no light at the end of the tunnel... just surviving sort of thing. From the first few minutes to brutality of what came after to wandering about the universe that was created by the writer/director... it was hitting all the right buttons. Watching this on my home projector on a 10 foot wide screen just blew entire movie out of the water. I felt that it was a breath of fresh air. I felt that this movie was exactly what I was looking for. Granted to the most impatient one, this movie is certainly a no go. This is not about gore, this is not about action... this is not some mad max 2 with Charlize theron driving about the desert. This was about anything but that. I felt drawn to the story line for a change and helped by amazing scenery and stunning videography it just made a 5 and then a 6 and then an 8 and then a 10. Whether it was something as simple as sun blistered character or random bizzare group of people who clearly did not fit in.... this movie just kept getting better and better for me. I am so thankful that I ordered it on Netflix. I can see how this little gem can be clearly overlooked.
