A Boy and His Dog

1975 / 91m - USA
Sci-fi, Comedy
2.5*/5.0*
A Boy and His Dog poster

A cute little sci-fi flick, set in 2024 (pretty appropriate I guess). It's one of those post-apocalyptic wasteland films, though with a more original twist. Sadly, it's also a bit childish, and parts of it seem aimed at a younger audience. It's a weird mix of elements, but at least it kept me intrigued until the end.

Read all

Vic is one of the few survivors of WWIV. Together with his telepathic dog, he wanders the wastelands, looking for food and women while trying to avoid the violence that surrounds him. When he meets Quilla he thinks he has hit the jackpot, but Vic doesn't realize he's been observed from afar.

The conversations between Vic and his dog are rather silly, and the two halves of the film don't fit together all that well, but there's a lightness here that makes this an easy film to watch. Things get a little too childish at times and it wouldn't have hurt if the direction had been a bit edgier, but this was still pretty amusing.
