... View MoreI was attracted by the cover art on the box - the photos of armored medieval warriors in post apocalyptic world. Well, the movie has no such characters. But that is not the major problem with it.The first half of the movie makes a good thriller, but the second half is pure disappointment. The acting is good, I have no complaints, but the plot is so weak, the characters and dialogs are so primitive, so no acting can save the movie.This movie is about a life after some major disaster caused by the asteroid. In some local village, I guess, some part of New Jersey ;), one guy became the tyrant and rules the population of a few hundred people. Some people develop an unexplained super powers (healing, light throwing, mind reading) and this tyrant executes them if his bike police (10 people) can catch them. Those guys (called freaks) also develop an opposition. There are some prophecies about the child that will be born and lead them. But the movie does not cover what happens after the child is born - it only covers a fight of several people against the tyrant and his miniature police forces. There are also some punk communities around and the legends of some river with a pure water that runs in a two day drive from the village.The storyline of the movie is really bleak. It does not have good action shots (except for the very beginning), and some episodes look really stupid, like this scene with a hand break at the very end of the movie. All fights are primitive and amateurish.What also makes me laugh is that all actors wear clean and nice clothes but live in wrecks. At least their blue jeans are supposed to be dirty after a few days out in the field, don't you think? In other words, there is nothing really worth mentioning in the movie. It was supposed to be something like Mad Max or Waterworld, but it is not even close. You can spend some time watching this movie, if you do not have anything else to watch. I gave it 3 only for the good acting.
... View MoreThis movie wasn't at all what we expected? We got the impression from the box that it was set in the ancient ages? IE. Attila, or Braveheart because the case showed a guy dressed in armor almost like something from a movie set in the mid-evil era. I was disappointed in the movie overall I found the fight scenes far to rehearsed looking and slow the acting was poor at best minus Danica's (parish's wife, the few's scene's she was in were okay and her acting was slightly better than her co-actor's). It is a (2004) movie but it appeared to be done as a low budget 80's flick which may be due to a low budget I am not sure? It left far to many unanswered question's and overall I cannot even think of a movie to compare it to and unfortunately we feel as though this is one movie that we should not have rented. And I guess it proves the saying, Never judge a movie by the case it comes in :)!!
... View MoreIn a cast of pros, Lance Henriksen and Richard Norton as villain and henchman respectively portray a complex chemistry between their characters that elevates "Dream Warrior" aka "Man Called Rage" above standard action movie fare. The chemistry between these two excellent actors is also obvious, and their scenes together give this movie its best moments of tension and drama. An opening stunt featuring Norton, also the film's stunt coordinator, sets the swift pace for the science fiction epic which will please the "Beastmaster" fans of Daniel Goddard, playing the hero. It's always a thrill to watch actors who excel at their craft, especially when they work together. Norton and Henriksen more than qualify!
... View MoreI'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.
