Storyline

- TriviaThere are two different versions of the opening scroll at the beginning of the film. In the original theatrical version, the scroll reads: "Planet Aradius. The Arid people, believers of the Wei, have been enslaved and oppressed by humans for over a millennium. In recent years, the planet's declining population has become plagued by infertility. The ruthless viceroy - The Griffin - has begun an unyielding campaign to find and kill the Arid rebel leader - Moss - who speaks of rebellion." But in other versions of the film in other countries, the opening scroll is different and it reads: "Humankind came to the planet Aradius to trade for the mineral "Aradium" - a mineral ore that allows massive metal objects to float. When the Aradium was all but depleted, most of the humans abandoned Aradius - leaving behind refuse, disease and infertility. The Arid people, distinguished by veins on the palm of their hands, found themselves under the oppressive rule of a human viceroy known as "The Griffin." Their only hope: an Arid leader named "Moss" who calls for a rebellion that could finally free Aradius from the tyrant."

Featured review
Why did I keep watching?
I didn't have a lot of expectations for this movie. And thankful for that, because this movie fails to deliver. Most of the movie is unoriginal, stealing from movies like Star Wars and Gladiator. I can't imagine how they titled this as "samurai."
The movie has a reasonable cast, but the script is lacking. The acting itself is almost passable but there is failure in execution by poor directing. The quality of action sequences varies greatly. The sword play scenes suffer the most with poor choreography and lousy cinematography.
There was definitely potential, limited as it may have been. But the movie just doesn't carry forward, and the movie drags on.
