“Future World” (*1/2 out of four) was a muddled pastiche of “Mad Max”, “Resident Evil”, and also bizarrely “The Book Of Eli” about a young man (Jeffrey Wahlberg) searching a deserted futuristic wasteland for a cure for his dying mother (Lucy Liu) while eluding a villainous hitman (James Franco) and then aided by a spiritual mentor (Milla Jovovich). Wearily derivative movie is just a series of ideas borrowed from other and better movies. Franco actually co-directed this! Why him and Jovovich and others wasted their time on this claptrap is film’s biggest mystery. Snoop Dogg and Method Man have small roles
