David Michod’s The Rover is another one of those dystopian sagas set in a malignant future where things are most dismal and desperate. Like the first Mad Max saga or The Road, the mood is rather minimalist, and while the tale being told is mournful and inevitably tragic, getting to its downcast conclusion involves an interesting dynamic developing between two men who ought to be enemies. With excellent performances from its stars and breathtaking views of this sterile and hopeless planet left after the apocalypse, The Rover offers a nice change of pace if nothing startlingly new in terms of story.
