Skip it. 'Afterburn' sounds like it's trying to be a fun action-comedy romp through a post-apocalyptic treasure hunt, but without any critical backing or buzz, it's likely a confused mess that can't decide if it wants to be serious sci-fi or campy fun—and probably fails at both. Your time is better spent on something that's actually nailed its tone.

Plot

Set against the backdrop of a postapocalyptic Earth whose Eastern Hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare, leaving what life remains mutated from radiation and fallout. The story revolves around a group of treasure hunters who extract such objects as the Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone and the Crown Jewels while facing rival hunters, mutants and pirates.
