Also known as Thunder Warriors.
Actual dialogue from America 3000: Vena: "That effin Plugot tricked me..." Lakella: "Plugotz got neggy smarts for tricking nobody Vena." Ooof. Yes, in the year 3000 we're gonna have stupid lingo that overruns our language and we're going to sound like preschoolers.
We are in the future in this one again, which means the apocalypse has happened and thus the remaining humans are greasy oily guys wearing animal furs and firing crossbows, but it also means there's remnants of the advanced society that led to the end of everything. We have a sprawling story set in the Israel desert where 80s women with majorly blown out hair hang out and say dumb dialogue like that above to each other all day long.
Then we have our main character, who is really a side character but provides us with obviously tacked on narration they added when told, "this story is so hard to track, you gotta clarify what the heck is happening here."
This does join the long list of post Mad Max rip offs that jumped on the post-apocalype bandwagon, and you know its kinda a bummer tha Max Max Fury Road didn't reignite the genre, or even make too much of an impact seemingly... I dunno, I miss genre films. Genre films, regular movies that were cheap and actually got released, they were't premiering on Netflix to no fanfare.
Plotwise we have a society where women rule and men are used for breeding or castrated at worst. The lead male wants to rebel and our main character and others follow, and it helps a lot when they find an ancient technology stash where they can get access to better shit. From there, they fight and dialogue happens and if you don't think a large part of the plot revolves around a boombox and a desert yeti, you are dead wrong.
3000 is a good movie, its kinda dumb and low budget but I liked it and I'll give it 3 stars.
