Time Warrior

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'...

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.)

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.

It was terrible. That's interesting why people is giving 10/10 ?? its unacceptable. Very low budget film, a normally person and which person doesnt know anything about can make this film. Youtubers are better

There was just very little enjoyable about this movie. And what little there was, was hardly enough to even remotely keep the movie afloat.

The storyline in "Time Warrior" is about two boys who play a seemingly pirated console game titled Time Warrior: Dark World. And by pledging their souls to the game, they become enlisted by the Lord of War to serve as his soldiers.

It was really hard to buy into the movie and its storyline, especially because the acting was wooden and forced, and the storyline itself was just so far fetched.

And the game was so out of tune, especially since the game didn't at all react to the movement of the controller when the boys were playing the game. And worse yet, the physics of the game was so bad; in the game the gun would be pointing at one target and shoot, but it would be targets to the far left of the screen that would fall down and die. And yet, these boys were so fascinated with the game, all worked up over the gameplay and its graphics. Right...

As for the people on the cast list, well they weren't particularly impressive in their acting, and the result was wooden, forced and staggering. And it was really hard to take the Matt character serious that the helmet of hair on his head.

Also, for some reason then there was being shown random clips of things that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie itself, and stuff that did nothing to further the story of the movie in the least.

"Time Warrior" was, I am sure, a well enough intended attempt at a movie, but the end result was just overly bad. And the only thing that the movie really had working for it was that the armor of this Time Warrior actually looked quite good and was nicely made.
