Time Warrior

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.

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.

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.

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!
