AGHHH! Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t!!!!!
19 July 2001
This movie is total sh*t! Maybe of slight interest to people who were fans of the UK TV series Knightmare to which this bares a slight similarity with cgi dungeons and stuff. The movie is terribly written, the sets are awful, the actors get through their lines as well as could be expected but that's not worth watching it for. If you want to see a movie with the same kind of storyline either watch Tron or Evolver, not this terribly mix of the two. The CGI is bad but I can like bad cgi I loved Captain Power when I got a copy of it but this movie is just bad in so many other ways too, as well as the fact there is quite a bit of cgi that was in the trailer for the movie which wasn't even in the film! The film insults the teenage games players in both intelligence and directly. It could have been so much better, but unfortunately this movie is better left unseen, this makes Evolver seem like a cinematic masterpiece, plus Evolver has all the same characters and even has John De Lancie too in virtually the same role. Also another thing, it looks like they ran out of budget for cgi part way through and had to instead film on a bit of wasteland with a tinted sky. Only if you have to see every example of computer game plotted films should you see this and even then it should be at the bottom of your list.
