... View MoreI and my brother are very big Asian movie fans, so when finding this movie hidden in a shop, I bought this one on DVD, because it sounded very promising and I couldn't wait to watch it. So I watched this movie with my brother and I must say, in the beginning it was very promising. Both of us really loved this brutal ball scene in the first scene. But i guess that was all. There are some interesting fights, but it is not a action movie, as it claims to be. Instead it's a love movie... with the cliché of love so extremely played over the top, even Shakespeare would vomit on this title. Sorry for my language. By the way: The characters act like being picked up from the street and given 100 for playing in this movie.Well, I and my brother watched it to the end, because we thought, it can only become better. But, heck, it never did. This movie challenged place #1 on my and my brothers "worst movies ever seen"-list, only followed by "Fantasy mission force" - do not watch this either.
... View Morei had no idea what this movies was about, it jumps from plot line to plot line erratically linking incoherent ideas with one another. it simply doesn't make sense. the chopped up time line doesn't help either. we start in present day get a flash back to the past and then return to the future only to go back into the past.this movie is also filled with horrible sappy lines and cliché themes such as princess and the pauper, "you cant have me even in my death" lines, "you don't even love me enough" line. cliché to the max!fighting scene were horribly corny, lighting was constantly misplaced which offset the CG with the actors (meanning you could tell some of the backgrounds were clearly CG). Although the society in di moon was quite interesting.i wouldn't really recommend his to anyone, avoid if possible.if you found this comment hard to follow, the movie would be equally as bad.
... View MoreNot "confusing" in the sense that, "Gee, this movie is really complex, and thus hard to follow!" But confusing in the sense that, "Gee, this movie really has no idea what it's doing!"DREAM OF A WARRIOR is a Hong Kong/South Korean collaboration, but it's all utter nonsense. A movie about parallel universes mixed in with time travel mixed in with love story mixed in with silliness.The film has the type of concept that boggles the mind. Again, not boggles the mind because it's so great and complex, but boggles in the sense that it's so ridiculous and one can't conceive of anyone ever coming up with such an awful premise to begin with.Nothing in DREAM OF A WARRIOR makes sense, and that's because the whole movie should never have been made. It is quite awful. The only saving grace is the actress who plays the female warrior (not the female lead).3 out of 10.
... View MoreOkay, let me start by saying that I did enjoy this movie and that there were some good parts. I want to say this because overall, it was not a good movie and I enjoyed it in a really cheesy flick way.Synopsis: A scientist has invented a machine which not only allows you to view but to actually visit your past lives. Unfortunately when he tested it on his daughter a religious cult destroyed everything and she was lost. Now he has to send a cop to DilMoon (which is where her past life takes place) in order to free her and bring her back.Good Points: There were definitely some cool fight scenes. Several actually. You get to see some great wire-fu which seems Matrix inspired but looks cool. Also, the special effects in the movie are great overall. They are obviously computer graphics most of the time, but they honestly pull it off and it just looks plain cool. On top of this, the story has some neat ideas and seems like it might go somewhere with it. It doesn't, but it seems that way.Bad Points: Well, for starters there are a lot of things that simply are not explained in the movie. It states that DilMoon is an imaginary space that does not exist in the past or the future, yet this is where both of their past lives take place. Do what now? Also, characters will suddenly have crazy powers which were never mentioned or explained, even the cop when he goes back physically. Hunh? Not only that, but the whole opening scene is crazy. One of the girls from DilMoon is apparently a bad guy in this time. Okay, sure. But she looks exactly the same. Well, so does everybody else, right? Yeah, well, she actually has the EXACT SAME TATTOO! Ehhh, okay... Also, NOTHING in this movie is subtle regardless of what you may have heard. The whole plot of the guy's past life character (paralell life character?) and the girl's past life being in love with each other is completely rammed down your throat. I lost track of how many times someone pointed out that they could not be together because she was a princess and he was just a 'lowly warrior'. Over and over and over... And, my lord, it gets SOOO cheesy. There are these horrible montages of all the touching scenes with music playing over them. Two characters that barely interacted get one and the only scenes the can play are him helping her up from the floor and her shooting an enemy in the back to save him. Sheesh. And finally, the whole ending is crazy. I'll try not to totally give everything away, but it probably won't really matter. So, the cop goes to DilMoon physically to save the girl and he only has six hours to do it. Somehow, six hours turns into about ten minutes. The villain knows all about him and (I guess) about the dimensional/time travel. Swords cut through forcefields easily. And, why is she in a forcefield anyhow? What has she been doing for two years? What part of the 'evil' plan does she even play? Who knows?Conclusion: Maybe if everything were explained it would be better. Maybe if it wasn't so cheesy and melodramatic at times. If you like cheesy Asian sci-fi/action/romance/martial arts movies then see this one. Otherwise, just don't bother. Rating: 2 out of 4 stars.
