It isn't nostalgia. Back when I was 12 this movie sucked. And I am only revisiting it because, well, because I hadn't seen it wince I was 12 and all the other Science Fiction movies I've either seen a million times, or are Woke and modern. So, it its not really good, but given that i am watching it in 2022, when everything has an agenda and characters are checked boxes based on their most surface characteristics and nothing more... ... it's a pretty decent post apocalyptic adventure. The only problem is that it doesn't really try to examine anything and, because of that, it sort of sucks. IT doesn't do the one thing the IP it's based on did, and the one thing that Science Fiction is supposed to do, examine a philosophy or social issue and blow it way out of proportion, but do it in a way that's approachable and fun.
