Really?  I just accepted that as part of the cracked-out atmosphere.

Yeah. It *is* a very inconsistent movie (and I think it starts pretty
poorly), but I've seen many worse, and it *is* a pretty interesting little
world.  Make an interesting HoE variant (less obviously bombed-out-- most
of the troubles seem to be economic rather than environmental (that is,
people can't find too much food, shelter or equipment, but they're not
usually dying of the glows), maybe.
