Into the Badlands is a curious piece from 2005 that blends science fiction with an odd sense of adventure. Lance Davis, the main character, really gets thrown into the deep end when his girlfriend is taken by mutants. The film has a gritty, almost desolate atmosphere, typical of early 2000s indie sci-fi. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but that adds to the surreal quality of his journey. Joan Smith, the ranger guiding him, has a strong presence, making their dynamic interesting to watch. The practical effects used in the Badlands are quite inventive, giving the whole film a unique visual flavor that stands out. It’s one of those films that you might enjoy discussing long after the credits roll.
