This film's cover caught my eye: I wasn't expecting anything great, but
I was at least enthralled to see some samurai dude on another planet
hacking and slashing away at some aliens or something.
Surprisingly, there's not much hacking or slashing involved; a few cheap
and stupid fights, but nothing more. One of the more inventive scenes
involved the fighters chained to a post, and whenever the chain
slackened, a big spike would come down and murder a hostage. Aside from
that, the film came off as being rather dull.
The story didn't really captivate me either; it's full of dull and
lifeless characters, going through the motions of some drama and plot
that I really couldn't care about. The movie overall tried to hard to
resemble films like John Carter and Prince of Persia, but both are miles better.
This film must have been made on the cheap. It sports okay, but never
exceptional, photography and editing. Acting and writing are
serviceable at times, but they are often marred with certain levels of
cheese, amateurism, or plainness. This production uses a limited amount
of sets, props, and costumes. Music is very generic too.
1/5 (Entertainment: Poor | Story: Very Poor | Film: Very Poor)
