Warrioress - Kriegerinnen des Lichts

Rarely do you get a film where the opening scene tells you everything, Poor storyline lacking any originality. The script is contrived and worthy of 11 plus level. The acting reminds me of low level GCSE English plays where the head girl or head boy gets the key parts but don't knoiw how to act and seem to be always providing a sultry pose to the school head. Let'sbe clear, people give Vinnie Jones a hard time but he is an oscar winner even against the combined talent of this bunch of posh kids playing make believe.

The scantily clad girls was the only interesting thing.

The fight scenes were funny though . No wonder its on Prime Video which seems to be cornering the market in this genre.

Sporting a total film budget of £48, it truly shows in many of the outdoor scenes. Simple trope dialogue, and unusually sloppy camera angles and cuts. Perhaps they found a local university compsci dept for the few laughable special effects.

Some of the acrobatic stunts and moves by Cecilia Fay are entertaining enough - have to remember that she is 4'8".

I read elsewhere that this film was a good watch for simple entertainment, however about halfway through I was forcing myself to reach the end to see if there was some kind of sensible and believable conclusion to give this film some merit. Turns out that there is none.

You have to go into this with low expectations. It's not a great movie by any stretch of imagination. It's a low-budget B movie with an unoriginal story and pretentious dialogue. The acting looks bad mostly due to the fact that it's hard to pull off this kind of dialogue without looking silly.

While fighting in most B movies is usually ridiculous, it actually looks real and functional here. Sometimes you can see the actors are too obviously avoiding hurting one another, but for the most part, it looks good. The little warrioress Cecily Fay (143 cm) certainly knows how to move around and fight. And that's what this is all about. The whole movie is just an excuse to see Cecily fight, and fortunately there's quite a lot of that in the movie.

I won't get into the story, because there's really nothing new there. A warrioress, a quest, an ancient prophecy, blah, blah... It's all a bit silly and predictable.

If you want to watch a good movie, skip this one. But if you like fantasy, medieval-ish setting, and fighting with swords, and if you know what you can expect, it's not too bad.

Downloaded and watched this last night - in a hurry and couldn't find anything better.Read the IMDb reviews first so had an idea what to expect.I don't mind this sort of film usually - the trick is to lower your expectations and try to meet it on its own level.There will always be something to enjoy - some interesting scenery,amusing dialogue,a very pretty girl,a good bit of action or a story which holds the attention but oh dear what a dog's breakfast. Rotten dialogue,unintelligible plot,primary school nativity play acting,seedy production and direction.I just managed the first half and spent the rest of the evening staring at the wall and enjoying the relief.Cecily Fay is a champion in the Indonesian martial art of Pencak Silat and she was 35 when this film was shot.She "wrote" it as well and obviously it was designed to be a vehicle for her to show off her skills and nothing else (and to be fair there was nothing else so it succeeded on that front and for that reason I gave it a 3) Surely people in the film industry (and presumably there must have been one involved in this debacle) must by now realise that you cannot make a medieval/fantasy/martial art type film with a molecular budget- it is never going to work.This is a film that should never have been made.

My quick rating - 3,8/10. The women that fought in this movie were actually quite good, especially Cecily Fay, but beyond that, it wasn't a movie. They attempted to piece together a plot but to no avail. It was more of a showcase of what I can only assume was a group of people, mostly women, that trained at a martial arts dojo of some skill and decided to make a movie. If there was a tiny budget, and some written story, the actresses (i do not mention actors, the men in this were horrid) could have pulled it off. Remember her name though, she should get some work at some point for a good look with well rounded fighting skills.
