Journey to Promethea (2010)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Fresh and Exciting

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I knew something was up when the movie started and the cast looked like they escaped from the King Richard's fair. All the costumes looked brand news too bright. Walmart Halloween clearance rack?? The only ones benefitting was the soldiers in the tacky helmets. They don't have to show their face in this movie. What was going on with the filming? It was shaky in some areas. I think my son could do better with our home camcorder. Overall, I agree with the last reviewer... watch it with good friends... its so bad that its good to make fun of! Tacky costumes (what's with the cape and tights?) and with the comically seductive but mindless women? Oh well, I only paid $1 for it at Redbox. LOL!

i can't believe that someone took the time to invest money into this horrible storyline. The customs used looked as if they were purchased from the Walmart Halloween section, and the makeup from a junior high school drama room. The studio should be forced to reimburse anyone who was fooled into renting this piece of trash. The actors are juvenile in their attempt to acting, the action scenes pitiful. They can't even make the blood look real. This is the lowest of acting from a usually good actor Billy Zane He certainly reached a low point in his career with this flick. Don't bother renting or taking the time to even consider it.

Okay Redbox needs to remove this out of their machines. We should get paid to watch, not pay to watch. I've seen decent B movies but this doesn't even qualify as a Z!!!! The costumes on the Simarians were so clean and bright and new, I was looking for the price tags! The chrome soldier helmets and breast shields looked like they had just been polished and buffed. I had a hard time finding any sadness for the good people who were killed. Also the King's harem and the princess' female guards looked like soft porn stars and their acting wasn't anything to write home about. I was surprised that our characters just kept leaving fires unattended, Smokey the Bear couldn't keep up. The plot line was barely there. I guess if you are the writer/director/producer you don;t have enough time to develop the story and deal with all the details. The cover and the poster are better than the entire movie. The synopsis on the cover was better written and more entertaining than the whole movie. It was bad enough the 83 minutes the movie took but the credits were long and went at a snail's pace to prolong the agony. The princess had very little affect to her face, she looked bored with the whole production.

The cover was actually the only key element that got me to rent this movie. I think the cover is better than the movie itself. The second it started I didn't like it. Bad angles, weird lighting, the wardrobe looked too clean cut, warrior armor looked fake, dialog wasn't right, and the extras looked like they didn't want to be there. This movie was completely "see thru" to me. Almost as if the production was meant more for a preschool Play rather than a full length film. The beginning was lame, the middle was lame, and the ending was lame. The actors with masks on looked like Halloween costumes that you might see at a theme park in October. I guess you can say the only thing that kept me some what interested was the hot females. Other than that, a complete waste of my time. I'm not mad at the actors/actresses because their just doing their jobs. I'm mad at the entire staff behind this film. Will never support a Dan Garcia movie ever again. Folks, you might be more entertained by watching a full length porn film from the 70's.
