WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

PodBill Just what I expected

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The_Phantom_Projectionist I really, really wanted to enjoy this movie. TECHNO WARRIORS has been on my to-watch list for years, and I anticipated fun things from its great cast and unique look. However, what I got was a purely mediocre presentation, even though the film gave itself ample opportunities for redemption. While the most casual viewer may yet have fun with this, I can't recommend it to anyone other than hardcore fans of the involved parties.The story: In a digitally-dominated future, fantasy becomes reality as the characters of a fighting game attempt to draw an expert player (Nino Muhlbach) into the digital realm to gain supremacy of their world.The first thing I find fault with in the movie is the plot. The film opens with an entirely different conflict, wherein individuals who do not know how to operate computers are criminalized by cyber police, with the first action scenes taking place on deserted city streets because most people no longer have the need to leave their homes. This is a world that I would love to have seen explored, and even though the computer environments can look quite interesting at times, the storyline's level of convolution limits my interest in the characters. Complex relationships between vaguely-defined characters with intricate backstories fail to intrigue at all, and oddly, nobody seems particularly surprised at video game characters taking physical form and fighting people, or people being able to enter the video game world.The excellent fighting cast includes Monsour Del Rosario, Tamara Guo, Winston Ellis, director Phillip Ko, and Darren Shahlavi in one of his final Hong Kong roles prior to IP MAN 2. While all of these performers look great in their flashy costumes, their opportunities to perform dramatically are limited and their ample opportunities to perform physically are sabotaged by very disagreeable styles of choreography and editing. The latter is the bigger problem, as the fights are presented too rapidly for the viewer to fully appreciate, but aside from a noticeable reliance on kicking over every other fighting technique and a little too much wirework for my taste, it's difficult to find one brawl out of the 20 that is not frequently interrupted by the characters hurling animated projectiles at each other.Stylistically, the film is a cross between MORTAL KOMBAT and POWER RANGERS, but it's presented in a manner that fails to make the most out of the potential overload of coolness. To be certain, there *is* an overload, but it's an overload of information and visual stimuli: there is too much you are expected to follow in way of the story and fighting. Those viewers who do not immediately dismiss the film as B-movie cheese may find this a chore to watch.

Viva_Chiba I have been reading many reviews of Techno Warriors and almost all them said stuff like "It's worse than seeing a 10 year old kid playing Mortal Kombat over and over again", i don't know why, but i felt that i had to watch the movie by myself, i expected nothing but mindless action.Since that the movie is about a fictional fighting game, the movie actually makes you feel a video game atmosphere, something that the Street Fighter movie (and other video game adaptations) failed to do, this movie was probably made by guys who actually played a video game !The action is non-stop and the choreography of the fights are pretty good, Philip Ko is a veteran in making these movies, so expect the best, most of the cast actually had experience in martial arts (you will probably recognize Monsour Del Rosario)The most hilarious scene is when Dinosaur (Winston Ellis) defends himself from the "spaceships", those "spaceships" are animated like a poorly made flash video.So anyway, check Techno Warrios and stay away from the reviews....shame on you guys !
