There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This movie is hilarious ! I quote lines from this movie more than the original Star Wars ! I would recommend this and all the thumb movies to anybody, especially Thumb Wars if you are a Star Wars fan.The names of the characters, the references to the movie (and other things), and the unexpected plot twist ! Three Star Wars movies condensed into one short 1/2 hour hilarious comedy.HANS DUET: All right, you thumbs, listen up. A one-armed man killed my wife Sabrina, a working girl. And now I'm a fugitive and in clear and present danger. I should be presumed innocent, but they're playing patriot games with me; Raiders, regarding Henry, Blade Runner and Air Force One.

I watched this before I was such a big Star Wars fan, but I still found it hilarious! I'm sure I'll find it funnier when I watch it again, but I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! The extremely funny names for all of the characters are excellent, and the characters look fantastic (if not a little weird). The voices only add to the humour, and the thumb/finger-related phrases are very funny. A true piece of comedy, even if it is rather short, and it's worth every penny! Thumbtanic is also a treat, although it doesn't stick in my mind quite as well as this masterpiece. It suited my sense of humour perfectly, and will be enjoyable for people of all ages, even if they have never been really "into" the Star Wars films. Star Wars fanatics will find it hilarious, and I strongly recommend it. Absolutely brilliant!

I have read some of the IMDb user comments for this "movie" and have come upon the conclusion that some people need to lighten up! It's a comical parody, for Pete's sake - not an Oscar entry! It's not supposed to WOW you over with million dollar special effects - it's supposed to poke fun at our modern film culture.This film was not released in theaters but was made strictly for home entertainment uses. I purchased the DVD box set of all 6 Thumb films for my kids for Christmas and we have laughed ourselves silly at these clever and quite creative shorts. Such titles as, "Thumbtanic", "The Blair Thumb", "Frankenthumb", "The Godthumb" and "Bat Thumb" - each one a hilarious and extremely inventive jab at classic cinema. Who would have ever thought of making films with thumbs as the stars? Only Steve Oedekerk and Co., that's who!Who cares if Star Wars came out in 1977 and the jokes for this film are old and tired? This is good stuff, people! Sure, the characters in the film are all thumbs – that's why it's called "Thumb Wars"! Want a hearty, cheap laugh at a classic sci-fi film? Watch this and you won't be sorry!

From KUNG POW!: ENTER THE FIST director, Steve Oedekerk, comes yet another spoof of the Star Wars movies. Only with thumbs as the actors. There is not much to be said about this short film except that this is one of Oedekerk's 'Thumb' movies to be forgotten. It is not as funny as his later works, but it is still good for a laugh. It is a definite must-see if you are a fan of the Star Wars movies. I am not, but I still found it amusing.THUMB WARS: 3/5.
