The sequel to 'Galaxy Destroyer' which finds our hero Harry Trent wandering Earth's post-apocalyptic landscape full of mutants, monsters, and fragmented human tribes. Harry's attempt to help a young girl rescue her sisters, leads him to a group of armed mutants led by a human madman attempting to breed them and take over the world. I quite enjoyed MUTANT WAR, a straight-to-video independent science fiction movie made as a sequel to GALAXY DESTROYER. The story is about a hero wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape and struggling to survive against overwhelming odds. There are giant stop motion creatures straight out of a Ray Harryhausen movie, cloaked attackers like the ones from STAR WARS, zombies, and various human gangs with murder in mind. There's little in the way of plot but plenty in the way of action, all of it delivered enthusiastically on what is a very low budget indeed. The special effects are generally cheesy but fun and while the acting is nothing to write home about, Cameron Mitchell shows up late on to amuse as an OTT bad guy. It's not quite on par with Steve Barkett's THE AFTERMATH, but I enjoyed it all the same. I really wasn't expecting to like the movie, so throughout the time watching, i was pleasantly surprised. Loved the use of models and clay animation, gave the movie a quaint, second movie at the drive-in feel. An all around good vibe happening from this flick.
