Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

bpete333 I basically watch anything with Lance Henriksen in it; even if the movie is bad he's always gives a high-grade performance. This movie had a really cool idea with a very poor execution. If it only had a decent script backing it up, any kind of budget, a director with some kind vision, or even half-way capable actors (Henriksen excluded of course) it would have been much more enjoyable than what we have here. It's like a low-rate X-Men with a post-apocalyptic backdrop. A everything settles man named Parish (Lance Henriksen) becomes the leader (really more like a king) of the new world. Under his rule anything he deems unholy is banned, the main atrocity being people with supernatural, or mutant, powers. Then a mutant named Rage (horribly play by Daniel Goddard) decides to stand up a bring Parish and reign crumbling down. Too bad a cool concept, even if it's not that original, doesn't make a good movie.

skankified I must say, this movie should have received at least 10 Oscar nominations. Special effects alone should have received 5-6, (!!!!WARNING, SPOILERS UP AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!)you'll know what I mean when you see the sweet opening sequence involving a CG Asteroid and stock file footage of a volcano erupting! When I first rented the movie, I must say that I expected the movie would be set in new york and have a man dressed in medieval armor with his face painted, all of which were on the DVD cover. I was slightly disappointed when the movie had nothing to do with the man in medieval armor, a war, new york, dreams, or warriors. I was also very confused as to why the movie only included cars from the 1930s or 1960s. Even though there are about 13 trillion Toyota Camrys and Ford Taurus,' the characters apparently could only find cars that are rare in todays world, like some 1930s antique Hitler-mobile. I guess the asteroid mustve hit all the Japanese car plants and somehow all the rarest antiques in the world survived. And apparently they're all solar powered now, because all gas stations were destroyed as well. Although you would be pleasantly surprised at how simple it is to convert a gas engine to solar power, you pretty much just connect a couple wires to a solar panel. The battle-bikes or Nazi-cycles were also a vehicle highlight! Yet, the movie was oddly pleasing, especially the performance of the girl with lightning powers, who was a real scene stealer. I'm so thankful Isaac Hayes got time off his busy schedule to co-star with THE, yes THE Lance Henriksen. Not as good as Surf Nazis must die though, this movie did not have a character as compelling as Mama Washington.

R G Highlights: 1. Movie/TV vets like Sherilyn Fenn and Lance Henrickson deliver as usual. 2. Film newcomer Daniel Goddard is not only an incredibly natural dramatic actor (with lots of range potential), but he also encompasses physical strength and grace of movement. Goddard is a handsome hero, but not so good-looking as to blindside your ability to follow his dialog. I have to admit to being rather smitten with Goddard at this point in his career and look forward to his future projects with great enthusiasm. 3. The secondary cast is also worth mentioning. Although I have never seen any of them before they were also very natural actors. By natural I mean as a complete cast, neither of them seemed to stick out as being amateurs.Lowlights: 1. Gratuitous female T & A shots (and not enough male ones-LOL) 2. In the opening "lets explain how the apocalypse happened" scene, graphics and sound mixing are really bad. Really bad. But post-production budgetary restraints may be to blame for this. 3. Goddard and Isaac Hayes (It's Salisbury Steak day children!-South Park) are captured by a Gothic tribe. While I understand this was the vehicle for bringing Rage and the Dream Warrior together to save the infant 'chosen one', not to mention an extremely sexy sleeper headlock executed by Goddard on a Gothic fighter, it was just kinda cheesy. 4. The infant in more than a few scenes was obviously a doll. In particular, the scene in which Rage is saving the infant and the infants mother by leading them down a ladder to a sun-level, Goddard (and this is my only criticism to this man) does not seem aware of the fact that he is holding an infant. Not that I'm implying they should have used a real infant but at least had Goddard hold something a little more precious than a doll in order to pull the right actions out of him.Neutral: 1. The script must have been quite convincing in order to attract the actors involved but does loose its momentum and clarity a few times as a film.Overall, the cast/crew does an incredible job. By the end of the movie everything seems wrapped up and nicely packed with the exception of Goddard's character Rage who is last scene walking back to the place of contention so "the people" can know the truth about Parish's (Henriksen) fanatical pursuit for perfection.

calussed I'm a huge Beastmaster Fan HUGE!!!!!!! I have waited and waited for almost a year now to see this movie and through a friend of a friend I got to see it. The plot is basically... years after the earth has been hit by a meteor there are bands of people who have survived. Amongst them birthing defects have caused supernatural powers to develop amongst a rare few and... fearing the effect that they can may have on his reign of power Lance Henriksen's Character wants them dead. (Twist to be expected.) The directing is the best but Daniel is amazing. He has an intense yet charming quality about him. When he smiles it is all over for me. Can't wait till the movie is released so that I can buy a copy.
