Warriors of Terra (2006)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Best movie ever!

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Warriors of Terra starts late one night as four animal rights activist's intend to break into a research laboratory & free the animals, Ali (Ellen Furey) who is helping them is the daughter of head scientist Dr. Woods (Andrew Gillies) & Ali has stolen her dad's key card which they intend to use to get into the laboratory. The group make it in safely but by using the key card an alarm is set-off & standard protocols are followed, an armed response team is soon on the scene to investigate & the animal rights activist's are forced to take an elevator to a lower level. In an attempt to get out the building's computer is hacked & every door is unlocked but that also unlocks a sealed room in the lower level in which a failed experiment escapes, the experiment is a virtually indestructible genetically altered woman named Maya (Trina Brink) who needs to melt people & then eat the remains to stay alive...This Canadian production was directed by Robert Wilson & is basically your typical mutant monster on the loose flick, the clichés come thick & fast & overall it's just not very good. The script which takes itself very seriously is a mess of unrelated & unexplained ideas, there are several instances that don't make sense like what happened to Dr. Woods at the end? Why did the girl kill Chris but not Ali even though she's meant to be this unstoppable killing machine? Even though it's stated Maya needs to eat to stay alive what was she eating for the past ten years while locked up? Why did Maya not eat anyone she killed? All the bodies are seen at some point intact. At over 90 minutes Warriros of Terra feels like it goes on forever, there are seemingly endless scenes of these paper thin character's walking around dark corridors it's untrue & it gets very, very annoying since the whole film is so dark & devoid of colour it's often difficult to make out what's going on. The whole film is just one long frustrating experience, from the overly familiar (think Aliens (1986)) & predictable (Ali lives, the bad guy's die) plot to the lack of gore or solid explanations. A total bore from start to finish really.Even the genetic experiment is nothing more than a woman who walks around, wow how boring & dull is that. I have to mention how dark it is again, I cannot stress enough how annoying Warriors of Terra becomes after constant scenes set in near pitch black corridors where you really can't see anything. The entire film is dark & it looks like all the colour was bleached out in post production, it's not that far from being black and white to be honest. Also I was sat there thinking about the lay out of that laboratory & that there was only one small lift to it, how did they get all that equipment down there? What happens if the lift breaks down? Not having some stairs as back-up just seems like it's asking for trouble. Forget about any proper gore, there's a bit of (dark) blood but nothing graphic or memorable.Filmed in Ontario in Canada the production seem alright but it's so bloody dark & dank all the time it's hard to make out what's going on half the time, it seems quite well made otherwise though. Edward Furlong is the only cast member I recognise which in itself can't be good, the acting is OK I suppose but so what?Warriors of Terra is your standard genetic monster on the loose in lots of very, very dark corridors only in Warriors of Terra there isn't even a decent monster as it's just some woman, totally predictable & throughly routine sci-fi horror that is merely a collection of ideas from better films thrown together. Not recommended.

This movie is just awful.I can't believe I actually sat through the whole thing. Is it seriously supposed to be a horror movie or is it just somebody randomly shooting stock horror scenes and editing them together thinking if they can put together enough screen time that's all that matters.I am angry to think somebody actually may have made money off of this piece of crap. It's not even a movie, I am insulted that they thought someone would actually watch this poor excuse for a horror movie and be scared.Shame on the people responsible for this.

I would give this movie six out of ten stars. It is a good movie, so I thought. I am a big Edward Furlong fan, so unlike a lot of people, I believe he was excellent in this movie as well as many others. Each time I see this movie I get chills up my spine. It's friggin' creepy! In a good way. However the main plot and just the way it was constructed wasn't that good. I've seen it three times. I only watch it now for the scenes Eddie is in. lol I would not suggest just buyiung this movie. Because you'll probably get sick of it and give it to someone else or end up selling it. I would stick to renting it, then, if you liked it enough then buy it. Not a movie worth buying, to me, that's why I just rent it sometimes.

A movie which is not bad enough to be funny and that doesn't even have decent special effects is one to be avoided.Short story: a bunch of ridiculously cute youngsters enter a biological enterprise which, of course, has some kind of monster inside. They being animal activists release the monster, which then kills everything except the blondes.The monster is a girl, btw, which is almost indestructible, projects illusions in people's heads and basically looks like a Jap horror movie cliché, even with the weird postures and twitchy movements, only with the horror removed and a lot of stupidity put in.Bottom line: really bad movie, even the stereotypes are badly made. And Edward Furlong is completely useless without a Terminator nearby.
