'The Lost Future' Trailer
I love post-apocalyptic movies. This looks crazy, but I love Sean Bean. I don't know how I missed it on Syfy.
"A group of post-apocalyptic survivors, struggle to survive in a world where jungles and forests and primeval wetlands and deserts have obliterated civilization. They staunchly face genetically mutating beasts and mysterious diseases in an attempt to re-establish the human race as masters of Earth." From IMDB
