Josh Kirby: Time Warrior! Chap. 3: Trapped on Toyworld

This is the third chapter of the Josh Kirby series. After falling out of the time pod Josh ends up on Toy World. A place where toys are as alive as you and me. Zoetrobe is also on Toy World looking for the next Nolifire component and it is soon revealed the Josh is a time warrior. There is not really much to say except for this was better then human pets and Dino Knights. The storyline was good just like all of the chapters. The acting was OK. Zoetrobe is of course up to his tricks and lies to get Josh to join him. You have to admit though time armer is a lot cooler then a time pod. I would recommend this to people who are open minded.

Another Cliff Hanger.

I've always been a fan of Awful sci-fi films, or attempts at awful sci-fi films. If you watch this movie with the intent of an edge of your seat thriller, then you're going to be disappointed.

However if you, like me, found it at a Dollar Tree and thought it would be a fun way to waste time with your friends, then you will absolutely love it.

Between the terrible dialouge, ridiculous plot, bad acting, awkward dances, unrealistic special effects, and predictable ending, this is the perfect film is there is absolutely nothing better to do and you need some cheering up with your best friends.

I truly can't tell if the creators were aware of how sinisterly creepy this movie was. The low budget costumes and effects only add to the bizarre atmosphere. I have to say though, the commitment is there from each actor which makes it entertaining... and still very creepy. It has a weird doctor who vibe with less charm, but still I did find it compelling in an odd way.

This is the third installment of this series and to be transparent I have not seen the others, but a good 15 minutes of the movie is just flashbacks of the others to catch the viewer up to speed so I feel like I can comment on the series as a whole.

Maybe it's just the time it was created but the overall feel of every Josh Kirby movie gives off a sense of claustrophobia, ironic considering it's a time travel series, but watching this movie my psyche felt trapped in toy lands narrow existence. The whole thing just feels wrong, clumsy, and unnatural adding to that unnerving atmosphere. Luckily the show is campy enough to keep the viewer from feeling totally terrified, and Josh truly is a decent enough hero to fallow. Something about him is relatable or likable, but in the end I do feel sorry that he has to exist in such a terrifying universe.

I give this a high rating because of how unintentionally hilarious it is. The special effects, the sets, the music, the costumes all look like they were made by drunken sailors in a dimly lit bar. My friends and I howled at the bad script and the acting. This is such a cheesefest - we did know how they ended up making so many of these. From the credits it looks like the whole crew is either Romanian or Hungarian - and you can see the actors breath in a lot of scenes and they look like they are FREEZING most of times outdoors. The scenes at Toy World are amazing - they play the most hellish "tune" over and over and you can tell some of the extras dressed as toys are into it and others are just there because they were promised five bucks and a warm meal. Some attempt the stiff arm doll movement, some try for awhile and then give up and others could care less. The actors who play Action Jack & Gepetto almost pull muscles from overacting. For those who enjoy hilariously bad sci-fi/fantasy check out JOSH KIRBY!!!

I laughed more during Josh Kirby: Chapter 3 than I have for most of the movies I've seen this year combined. In this chapter, Josh randomly and inexplicably flies out of the spaceship and lands on a Toy (here, toys apparently include Mexicans) planet where he is assaulted by an extremely horny ragdoll and a semi-retarded bear.

Back again is the unspeakably random creature "Prism", who takes a turn for the darker side as he cavorts around the spaceship, and the hilariously bizarre mannerisms of Azabeth--who performs an elaborate chanting ritual, which when combined with Prism's epilepsy in the corner of the screen, makes the laughs flow with ease.

You should see this movie. If you don't, you'll miss the Toy/Alien dance number, which, needless to say, is the highlight of the movie.
