The Warlord: Battle for the Galaxy Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
derwatz Hello, saw this film and do not like it so much. Was a cheap film with cheap performance. The story is quite OK, but it seemed a bit strange to me. Nice is, that one antagonist is not an one dimensional as it seems to be always.Only the CGI was OK for me and the sister seemed very nice, she is so smart; love it. But this film has no real ending for me. Because the film is short it looks, that they ran out of money. Looks like a part 2 to come, but there is none ...
gfreeman6942 As a movie, it's a bit flat and the plot reads like the summary for a Nintendo game. Her's sister gets kidnapped by the bad guys, and he gathers a ragtag team of adventurers to save them. A retired general, a reformed bad guy, a telepath, a kid (not as annoying as Wesley), and some woman whose purpose is to take up space on the bridge. The movie can't match StarWars for effects, but it's marginally better than Episode 1 and Episode 2.As a TV Pilot (which it is), it's very similar to Andromeda, with a civilization thrown in chaos, and the heroes having to restore civilization to save the galaxy. It's a 70s type space opera with improved effects and better set design. While it had the same potential but the "To Be Continued" type ending can lead you with a bad taste in your mouth if you're not ready for it. I was somewhat saddened to find out that there was no series, so the entire movie was a setup for an ending that will never be made.
unix-tom OK, the ending was rather disappointing because it was shot as a pilot, but i definitely would have watched the series. A nice mix from various Sci-Fi-Elements like the "Old General who served the Republic before" .... A advanced technological race who wants to "assimilate" the galaxy ....I think if the characters had a little more time to develop it would have been interesting.
Bass2 I would like to make clear that it is very hard for a science fiction movie to dissapoint me but this one most certainly does. Although the box doesnt make it clear, this movie was designed to set the scene for a television series. The acting is below average and the plot is completely unorriginal. The opening scenes see a simple man loose his younger sister who happens to be a genius and then vowes to find her. There's nothing here you havent seen before and the ending might as well say "To Be Continued....". I dont recommend this movie to anyone who likes the science fiction genre.
