Slipstream, exactly!

I thought it starred Paxton, but didn't recognize the name of it in his credits, and couldn't remember Bob Peck's name aat all.

And amazing, completely forgot about Hamil!

I agree that there were definitely some weak spots, but overall I very much enjoyed it, a very fun premise with some great scenes.

Also, I note in the IMDB comments that folks have found it on DVD for $1 at Family Dollar stores, packaged with Abraxas. That's 50 cents for the film. Dude!

I have vague recollections of liking Steel Dawn (1987, with Patrick Swayze) back when I was 13. Haven't seen it since.

Speaking of movies with 'Dawn' in the title and featuring Patrick Swayze...

Would Red Dawn count as PA? Cheesy, but still a cool movie (for those of us who grew up during the Cold War, kind of a scary one too ;) )

The Matrix trilogy makes for a great PA story.

Battlefield Earth, anyone? *ducks*
 


Tani-no Kaze-no Nausicaa - aka Nausicaa of the Valley of Winds. There was an earlier butchered english version named "Warriors of the Winds". Avoid at ALL costs, it was a total hackjob. Not traditional post-apoc - there are giant intelligent potato bugs and giant biological robot warriors, but the film itself is set some time after the "seven days of fire" during which most people died...

Also, Brazil might fall into a post-apoc world. There are plenty of hints that Something has happened in the past... Of course, it's also a farce about bureaucracy.

I was going to mention "The Quiet Earth," but somebody beat me to it. Same with "28 Days Later" and "The Postman" - ah, poor David Brin. Your books will get the treatment they deserve someday. I hope you're alive to see it. :P
