Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Cosmo322 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.
JR 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.
scotty1176 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.
joshuá mulder 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'...quotes from: www.timewarriormovie.com
