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 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.)

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!

I normally do not write reviews on here but every once in awhile a movie does compel you. First off, kudos to the producers. It is impressive that you were able to raise the $850,000 (rumored) for this movie's budget. Unfortunately it is the only thing impressive about this movie.

The casting goes to show you that you cannot pop into a nearby high school and fill out your leads and make a good movie. I'm sure this movie was shot in a very short time because there is no chemistry whatsoever among the cast. As previous reviews have stated, the acting is absolutely wooden. These "actors" are just reading their lines. For most, I'm sure this will be a one and done movie career. It is painful at times to listen to the words coming out of these character's mouths. I could pull out individuals but let's just say the whole ensemble was terrible. The only believable actor was Daniel Ball. Who was that, you say? He was the news anchor towards the end of the movie. I think he was on screen for 45 seconds to a minute but he sounded like a real news anchor. And no, I am not related to or know this person at all.

And that leads me to the story. There seemed to be potential for a good story but the execution was so lackluster. The main difference between the story and Swiss cheese is that Swiss cheese is delicious. What the story shares with Swiss cheese are the holes. Plot holes galore. The English have a perfect word for it: rubbish.

Why three stars? Well, it is not the worst movie I have ever seen and the special effects (which I'm guessing took up most of the budget) is passable at best. I should have watched this movie with a friend because then there could have been shared laughter at the absurdity of it all. But watching it alone, all you can do is just shake your head.

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.
