Warriors of Terra

Warriors of Terra: 2 out of 10: Alien style movies have been done to death for a very long time. They can still work if A: The creature is decent. B: The gore is decent and C: If the underground fortress/submarine/spaceship the people are trapped on/in contains co-ed showers.

Grudge/Ringu style movies with pasty faced white skinned black haired ghosts that scream like insects has also been done to death. Personally I think that genre is close to spent.

Combining the two is a pretty bad idea. Warriors of Terra takes that already shaky foundation and goes nowhere with it. Needless to say there is no decent gore, no co-ed showers and a pasty ghost girl is not scary except in an OMG there is still another hour left to this movie kind of way.

First time director Robert Wilson has his finger stuck on the annoying effects button so we can never get a clear view of the action. (Guys don't zoom while you're moving the camera).

The plot is that of an animal's right group (Complete with rich daddy's girl, radical ELF terrorist who inexplicably sports a fur collar on her parka, and my favorite cliché hot computer geek who can hack into anything from her Mystery Machine Van headquarters.) attacking the big bad bio-lab. The corporate lab of course has a basement located somewhere around the earths core and is defended by a nerve gas doomsday device. (Are those available at Staples?). You can pretty much write the ending from here.

Michael J Fox look-alike and T2 has-been Edward Furlong looks and acts like a walking cautionary billboard about drug use.

All in all the acting and production values are decent (this is not a filmed with daddy's old camera job) but the Grudge ghost in an Alien flick concept plays even worse than it sounds

This has got to be one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. Avoid at all costs. The characters are one dimensional, the acting is horrible. They are no scares. You don't care when any of the characters get killed. Why and when did Fix even split up with his group? Ellen Furey (Ali) is one of the plainest looking actors I have ever seen. She is supposed to be the pretty girl, and she is so plain looking. I still can't believe Furlong would want his name above the title of this movie considering he was barely in it. Ali was a complete waste of time. This character shouldn't have even been in this movie with all her whining. The end credits music is just as cheesy as this movie. Too much record spinning on it. Do not waste your time renting or watching this movie. It is abhorrent, and most of the actors who are in this have probably killed their career by being in it.

This is a rip off of the first Resident Evil movie but made on about a 1000th of the budget.

Compared to a main-stream movie it is cheap, corny, predictable and a bit dull. But as mftv movies goes it is not that bad. The sets are well lit and work has gone into them (I still couldn't quite shake that shot in a studio feeling though), the acting is solid enough and the Nemesis character works well.

The great thing about low budget movies is the writers and directors get a chance to go a little out the box and sometimes what emerges is a unique, innovative movie. Here they have stuck rigidly to a prescribed format and with all the talent and will in the world they could never hope to compete with the big boys.

Before i rent the movie,i checked the DVD case and i thought that this was going to be a nice movie. I WAS F@#@#NG WRONG!!! The story is good but the direction sucks. I thing its the worst movie i 've ever seen... The green like color of the movie was like the color of the Matrix movies and so claustrophobic.MY EYES HURT!!! The acting was so amateurish that i think that i could play in the movie too with my friends. And the ending??? What? The are going to prepare us for a sequel? Let me tell you what I think.I think they ran out of money To conclude, i tell you that.I lost one and a half hour of my life FOR EVER.

OK, not the worst movie ever made, but the production company better hope the makers of the F.E.A.R. video game never see it.

Through the movie, you see the word FEAR on walls, posters, etc. The "creature"'s name is Maya and it's about one cheesed of little girl who's been done wrong by a pharmceutical company... where have I seen that before, oh yeah, the game F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon).

This movie rips that game off BIG-TIME... Except it replaces the squads of heavily armed (and generally innefectual) troopers with a bunch OK kids armed with dope and their sneakers.

If you like the game fear, you might get some enjoyment out of this version of the story, but as a stand alone movie, it's not great.

Oh well, for free on my satellite, with the option to turn it to another station, it's OK.
