Time Warrior

There are some things being said in the other reviews that I disagree with, the women in the film are not that bad at acting. The stripper and the blonde mom actually did a great job. The little sister, who disappears a little past half way through the film - don't know why, was pretty good too. All of the men are in great need of acting lessons or how to hold a towel over one arm while asking "smoking or non-smoking" before taking people to their tables. The lead was bad and that is never a good thing. Everyone keeps raving on and on about how the budget must have been spent on the special effects - OK, so the Lamborghini, and the other hot sports car, and the helicopter were dirt cheap to rent right? Without knowing what it cost to rent those cars it seems it must have been a big part of the budget along with that really nice house that was featured - unless that was one of the cast member's. If you are looking for a tidy close you are in for rough seas; in every direction nothing made sense.

He is supposed to be a Time Warrior but doesn't ever travel time. The plot holes are everywhere - jumps wall without skateboard, gets home has skateboard, sister creepy and into game, sister vanishes from the film, black dust comes out a guys throat - because of why???? And again, no time traveling. I am still trying to cope with the idea that Donkey Kong never has a donkey regardless of the level or the idea that the San Diego Freeway doesn't go to San Diego! I don't need more confusion.

It was way better than Laser Blast, and way worse than Night of the Comet. But don't hate on the women/girls - do hate on the men/bullies/dads/leads, yes, do. The seed of a great concept is in this so it may be worth your watch, just be prepared to pay for that seed with your time and a small part of your brain that will die forever.

Wow, what can I say... this film is just bad! Bad, bad, bad...

Bad acting - REALLY bad acting, bad, terrible script and really badly thought out as a story.

Seriously, the acting in this was absolutely desperate. Whoever thought the young people and adults in this were good enough to gain a place on movie film, must have had pure rocks in their head. I genuinely couldn't (and still can't) believe that someone would actually hire people this bad at acting. They make Miley Cyrus look like an Oscar winner and that's saying something!

What drugs was the casting person(s) on when they hired this lot? I could normally single people out for bad acting in some films but I didn't have to bother here. They ALL were desperate. Admittedly some stood out far, far worse than others - including the main actor but they were all in the same class obviously when a teacher failed to teach then how to act in front of a camera and speak!

The script was just so badly wrote all the way through, it actually became funny. So convoluted, so much dragging the bottom of the barrel for over used phrases and pauses for dramatic effect. So predictable! It was just, just so desperately bad. No kidding!

The story itself could have been wrote on the back of a postcard - and I suspect it was! Pity when they finished, they didn't post it into the bin...

I tried watching it as I'm a good sci-fi fan but this whole farce was that bad that I found myself forwarding through parts of it - I just couldn't suffer many scenes, they were that crap and far too drawn out.

Unless your into inflicting serious mental pain upon yourself, avoid this one like the total plague. When available on DVD, all I can say is that at least you got an extra table coaster then for your hot drink or glass of beer to rest on. Other than that, use the DVD of this film for frisbee target practice toward the nearest rubbish container.

Just bad, bad, bad...

(P.S. I had to give the film a rating of "one" - sadly there was no "zero" available.)

Wow.... What a waste of time this movie was! I really can't imagine anyone is able to love this movie, because all what makes a movie a great time isn't there. Even when you are a video-games addict, you better keep on playing and ignore this flick. It's lacking an attractive scenario, most texts here are totally missing sense and therefore needless. And I even don't dare to mention the acting. Sorry people, but almost the complete acting troupe (announced as 'fresh teen cast') caused me so much irritations that every moment was a struggle for survival. However, I completed the full 90 minutes, simply because I couldn't accept the fact that this movie also would end in boredom. But it did and so i ended stressful. And that's why i had to write these words here, to warn you. To let you make another choice of movie, or playing a video-game instead. I dare to say that even I would have made a better movie with a budget of $ 850.000, with a promising young Dutch cast that is able to convince it's public. So red cards for anyone who is responsible for creating such a mess as 'Time Warrior'. That makes this also a waste of money.. (2 out of 10 because I like the blond hairs, green eyes & travel spirits of Mayhem model Thomas Graninger, playing sk8erboy & 'superhero' Matthew Evans, and the VFX and CGI effects weren't completely bad). I did prepare my 90 minutes 'Time Warrior' by visiting the movie website, so maybe all those site quotes created too much expectations with me, like 'A new intense teenage Sci-fi saga' and above all: 'The movie was planned from the beginning as a movie franchise. It leaves the door open for a more powerful sequel to be created in the near future. The movie can definitely become a huge success and it may lead to the birth of a new super hero...' Director Rodriguez' twitter account, labeled @TimeWarriorMov, isn't that successful with 90 tweets & 19 followers... Bad signs tough, for a 'masterfully produced Sci-fi-action-adventure feature film, carefully crafted to target the full teenage and gamer market of ages 12 to 35'...

This movie might have been really good if it had the budget of say transformers but it doesn't. The cgi is week and the worst part is the acting OMG I do not think even the syfy channel would play this movie because the acting is so bad.The only good thing about the movie is the main characters girl friend is hot and his friends mom. Now if there was a shower scene or something I might have given this movie a 4.5 rating but it only makes a 3 in my book. I don't know where they spent 850,000 bucks but it wasn't on the actors.The ends when it just starts to get good, now why is it whenever he travels in time he lands somewhere in war.There was no indication on what the smoke rising out of his friends mouth when he was lying in the hospital, was that his soul leaving him or is he now relieved of his commitment to the game.

The acting, the writing, and even the storyline are all AMATEUR. This actually looks like some student's high school or film school class project rather than a professional film. It never should have been released to rental stores. As a learning project for some film student I give it a 2.5. I didn't give it a zero because I reserve that for epic films like: ----> "Birdemic: Shock and Terror". The storyline appears to have been written after a bad night hitting the bottle or something. If there was a real novel or story used to base this on it was hacked apart by the writer(s) in the worst way. The actors appear to have either been rejects from the regular studios or maybe first timers who someone convinced that acting does not require any training, experience or school. The filming looks like an advanced video system of which the quality was the only thing that approach average quality in the whole thing. One more thing, watch the SWAT team's sight discipline as they approach the house in a ragged line of errors. Watch the LASER aim points dancing around all over the other SWAT Team members backs, indicating they have just aimed their loaded rifles at the other officers. VERY Professional indeed! I expected to hear "Car 54, Car 54 where are you?" on their radios at any moment or maybe one of the officers calling out "Officer Tootie respond please." The only good point in the entire movie, to me anyway, was when the blond hero shaved his head and actually looked like a real kid underneath. I guess I was expecting a hydra of something to pop out. However by then I had lost all interest in the story, or lost track of it anyway. As I said before, this movie should never have been set out for rental, I intend to ask for a refund.
