Foreign powers blow up all of North America in 'Damnation Alley,' a movie to make anyone wish the foreign powers had made Hollywood the first town to go. After the holocaust, all that remains is George Peppard, Paul Winfield, Jan-Michael Vincent, Dominique Sanda and Jackie Earle Haley, plus a few dusty slot machines in Las Vegas and a landscape that looks as if it's been photographed through a used coffee filter.There are also hordes of giant cockroaches, and the first thing they do is eat Mr. Winfield, the only cast member who shows signs of being ready to give even a passable performance.The only real value of 'Damnation Alley' is educational: This is the movie to see if you don't understand what was so wonderful about the special effects in, say, 'Star Wars.' Here, the sky features streaks of red and blue light that make it look like a giant Rya rug, and it actually moves in relation to the equally phony-looking landscape.'
