B for beige applies to a good number of second tier films and Scorched Earth is no exception.
I must say I was surprised to see the talented John Hannah in this science fiction Western. His presence was a welcome addition, however, that said, it is still not enough to save this production from mediocrity.
Pretty much everything found in Scorched Earth has been done before in one form or other. That in itself is no sin. Where it falls down is in its inability to cash in, offering up pedestrian narrative and no real breath of acting performances. The action scenes do not stand out in a meaningful way either. Its strictly by the numbers stuff, which fails to impress.
All in all a rather "ho hum" affair that's a marginal watch at best. Five out of ten from me.
