Time Warrior

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.

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'...

Yes, I actually watched the whole movie, Why? Because I wanted to see how bad it could really get. The acting was really bad. The actors seems to have a hard time remembering script. I did not flow. I'm talking REALLY Bad!

The actor who played Time Warrior was so dull, I would have thought he actually hated his character. No passion, no nothing.

The friend of the Time warrior was so annoying, they could of easily wrote his character out of the script and no-one would of missed him.

The plot could of made a fun movie, but NO Luck!!

The cgi was probably the only half decent part of the movie, but even that was cheesy.

If your a gamer or know someone who games a lot, just skip this movie. Keep on playing the game and don't waste your time on this movie!

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.

Okay so the summary pretty much sums it up. Had this move had a real budget, or the money that was actually spent on the film been put into better CG and actors it would have been a hit.

It has a great plot which has not been overdone, however it does drag some in the beginning. If you are going to have a good guy, let him be good and show more of what he is capable of doing rather than running away, let him own the role.

Had this been budgeted properly with better graphics and acting I would have given it a better rating.

If there is to be a followup, which I hope there is, the producers need the aforementioned items.
