Guardians of Time

I feel like this film is trolling the intended audience. If you were hoping to see something high fantasy, don't bother. There are pilots more well made than this film. Terrible acting, sloppy effects, awful narrative and probably some of the worst scenes ever put under the Lionsgate name.

This film is a nepotistic journey through an industry that has become so lost in itself, that it actually thinks the public will enjoy it. It's the only reason I could see anyone letting this trash leave the studio, let alone have money thrown at it. It's a terrible piece of film making that really does exemplify that it's all about who you know in the industry. There's very little 'film making' in this necrotic frankenstory that borrows from just about every high fantasy film it can afford to.

All of the four main characters just go along with everything almost as if it was some everyday stuff happening to them.

There was no deep conversation anywhere, main characters just go along with the story as it happens to them - they are not making any decisions.

Even nearly-adult just messes up inside of the house like a well-raised 10 year old wouldn't. I mean shooting arrows inside house? -- come on.

The story just lacks any content. No tension, no surprises, all is reasonable predictable.

It is my belief that this topic could easily make a nice series, so the writers must be very bad to make such 'basic' plot.

So, the story seems absurdly simplified. If it were a book, it's age group would be 7-9 year olds. The "bad guy" never even attacks... he just stands there and asks politely for the magic rock that ends the universe, a couple times. Everything about the movie was *ultra* low effort. CG was *terrible*, and you could tell they were on a greenscreen the whole time. Like the greenscreens that pod-casters use... The acting was poor, but not terrible. Story was childish... like written by a 9 year old for 9 year olds. Dialog and plot was just pathetic.

It's watchable, if you're bored, but don't expect anything of even "barely acceptable" quality.

This movie can easily be categorized as "B-movie" with very bad acting very bad directing and very bad editing and bad everything even the soundtrack. I really lost my nerves and patience watching this very very bad movie.

Taking 4 girls to an adventure is really a bad thing to start with, making them 2 white and 2 black makes it even worse as its not likely to happen, and making the smallest one (and worst actor..) the smartest ?? Really ?? What were you thinking ?

Please don't waste your time on it. I don't know what they were thinking when they approved it and when they released it. Indeed - Unwatchable.

Four formulaic female characters are thrown into danger by... their grandfather? He manipulates the girls into going into a magical forest, against their parents' wishes, and then cheerfully says "and so it begins". Five minutes later, giant creatures are trying to squash our heroines. WTG, grandpa! Well, in a way I do understand the guy. None of the actresses know how to act and the script doesn't help them either. Each character in part reaches levels of annoying that are hard to comprehend. Stuff like "I have to go back to my little sister" "Nah, she's fine, she's with a nonhuman magical character we met 2 minutes ago". The effects are ludicrous, too.

As a student project it's a great achievement, but as a movie it's unwatchable. I rated it "so bad it could be funny, if watching properly intoxicated".
