Staring Viggo Mortenson? Its like watching a Fallout 3 movie I swear to god. So many instances ie looting a coke machine for a coke, sleeping on a truck on a long broken highway, looting houses/bodies for anything to help them survive. If you like F3 deffo check out the Road.

The Road isn't like Fallout 3 at all IMO.

They are similar in the fact there are roads and not much more.

It reminded me of it, but only in the sense that its a post-apocalyptic movie. Not much in the way of actual setting suggests that its similar to Fallout 3 or really any Fallout game for that matter. There isn't even mutants.

I've read the book and seen the movie. From what I understand, some of the Bethesda guys where influenced by that book when creating the visual look of Fallout 3.

Loved the movie, pretty damn creepy at times but was a great film, and yeah i was thinking about Fallout the whole way through

You people really need to think more along the lines of Mad Max 2 and A Boy and his Dog. Those Movies were apart of the inspiration of Fallout. Not "The Road" or "Book of Eli."

Also the games Wasteland and GURPS were big inspirations for Fallout. The Fallout, not Fallout 3.

I suggest you guys go and play Fallout, Fallout 2 and Tactics and see for yourself

This, the Road is far darker and deeper then Fallout 3.

I almost felt sick when he forced that guy to strip... The movie was good and I hope to read the book at some point

Loved the book --- read it all in one night... if 'loved' is the right word. It's not funny or slapstik like Fallout 3, however, I can see that it would have an influence.

SPOILERS: whatever made the world 'go bad' in The Road isn't explained. There are no mutants in the Road, and NO animals and most or all of the plants seem to be dead, power is gone, government has collapsed, 90% of the people are gone so mankind is starving and people are fighting over the few cans of food that are left... and more and more people are apparently turning cannibal. It's like "Lord of the Flies." I saw the film and was impressed at how well they had captured the story... but it's not a date night movie unless you date a real pessimist.
Apparently much of the film was made outside of Baltimore.
I live just outside of Detroit and used to work in the city near the intersection of Mack and Chalmers just off the Edsel Ford Freeway. THAT area reminds me of the Capital Wasteland except there are no enclave radio robots wandering around broadcasting the President Eden telling stories of his old dog, Honey..."Oh, ho ho, the times we had!"

Scroll down to "The Road".

Oh viggo is a really good actor.

Cheers

OMG I totally forgot about that movie! Yea, I've seen it a while back and I thought it was a very dark and depressing movie, even though, I liked it. Thinking back of it, I'm not sure if I would compare it to Fallout 3... I guess you COULD compare it with the Divide though, since it's also a pretty bleak place! I need to watch it again!

He said Fallout, not Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 is really nothing like the road outside of it being post apocalyptic.

As Lobotomite already mentioned I said http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Fallout not Fallout 3. Are you even aware that there is a Fallout and Fallout 2?


This ^ and it isn't even mentioned what caused the Apocalypse in The Road.

What the hell is Fallout 1 and 2? I thought Fallout 3 was named after the year or somethin
