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.

This show had good potential but the plot was weak, just like my knees are after doing 30 squats. The casting wasn't good either, it was terrible acting. None could convey the correct emotions for the scene they were portraying. Felt like I was watching students of a drama school performing a skit. Also we couldn't find a better fit for Pamphilos? The ending eluded to a sequel but I just don't know how they can recover from this disaster. Such a shame, was looking forward to more Narnia type category movies. You can play this movie as white noise if you're multi-taking or need a show on, just cos.

I generally try find something good about a movie, but this doesn't have much going for it at all. Poorly borrowed storylines, bad quality imagery and CGI, bad acting... There are several storylines borrowed from other stories, very badly stitched together.

The quality of scenery and CGI would have been better if they acted in front of a TV screen.

The sound quality in many places seemed like they were recording in a bathroom.

With very few exceptions, the acting was extremely weak. They made the weak characters seem even worse as a result.

Overall, an extremely weak storyline dragged out, making a short story very long.

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.

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".
