A hackneyed Mad Max rip-off, Future World is a poor excuse for a dystopian thriller. In a war ravaged apocalyptic future the leader of a group of marauders finds and activates an android, but when he orders her to kill a young boy searching for medicine to cure his mother she turn on him. Featuring James Franco, Milla Jovovich, and Lucy Liu, the cast isn’t too bad; but Suki Waterhouse’s android performance is lacking. And the script doesn’t help much, offering little to explain the android’s evolution toward sentience or why the dystopian world is the way that it is. Also, the sets and costumes just look cheap, giving off a real B-movie feel. While it’s entertaining at times, Future World is a derivative and poorly made film.
