Warriors of the Apocalypse (2009)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

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

I love Killerwolf films and this one was long awaited due to editing issues apparently. Anyway I wasn't disappointed. Good action, great looking warriors (particularly Amara Offhaus) and plenty of suspense. Most of the usual KW cast present as well which makes for continuity. It almost seems like the cast and crew make this a family effort! This one needed zombies in it really. A cross between Swamp Zombies and W of the A would have been amazing. Not sure about the special effects overall. A trifle ambitious in some cases which weren't really needed and for me didn't come off (particularly the big explosion) but I'm quibbling now. Also a bit short on gore for me (hence the username...). Acting was consistently good and production values continue to improve from their earlier filmsAgain a good effort and well worth finding, although not easy in the UK to get hold of these films at a good rate.

Please save yourself the vomit and don't watch this movie! I read the wrong review and got tricked into watching it.The review must have been posted by the deluded fool who made it.I feel cheated and violated and now I know, read all the reviews.It's not just the bad acting, or the pathetic effects; The whole timing is out and the editing is just sloppy, done with absolutely no attention to detail.If you want a good laugh, get drunk, get some friends together and poke fun at a movie that should never have been made.well maybe by a ten year old and if so never, ever, released!Well first post hope it save somebody the wasted time.

Woodyanders is a tool. I created this account out of anger, solely to warn others from having to endure what I just witnessed.This movie is about as enjoyable as watching a dog defecate. I hated it with the fiery passion of a thousand suns and felt compelled to save you, dear reader, the time.I read the IMDb review by Woodyanders titled 'An excellent and exciting post-nuke sci-fiction/action winner' and expected at least an interesting movie. Instead, I got to watch some of the least capable actors/actresses who clearly couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. The plot was atrocious and the dialog appeared to be written by a child. The movie fell flat on it's face on absolutely every level and we have some of the worst camera-work in history to save it for posterity. This movie is so incredibly bad that I hope it ruins the careers of everyone involved.

A rough'n'tumble bunch of female warriors -- two-fished Luca (ravishing brunette Darian Caine), the equally tough Spring (cute blonde Pamela Sutch), scrappy Vick (foxy Amara Offhaus), and the resilient Carrie (lovely Renee Porada) -- do their best to stay alive in a harsh wasteland that's been devastated by a nuclear war. The gals try to find the last remaining city left following the big blast. However, ruthless dictator Rollins (nicely played with wicked aplomb by Debbie D) sends a team of bloodthirsty mercenaries to kill the ladies in order to control the population. A pretty standard premise for sure, but fortunately writer/director Lee Kabasinski handles said story with a substantial amount of skill and flair: the brisk pace rarely let's up for a minute, there's plentiful graphic gore,a sizable smattering of tasty distaff nudity, a handful of vicious cannibalistic zombie mutants, and even a smidgen of lurid soft-core sex, the rousing shoot-outs and fierce knock-down, drag-out martial arts fights are staged with considerable rip-snorting brio (a big confrontation between the gals and the mercenaries in an automobile junkyard rates as an especially tense, thrilling, and impressive set piece), the CGI effects are generally acceptable, and the roaring hard rock soundtrack totally smokes. Moreover, the game and able cast play the material with admirable gusto: Caine and Sutch are great fun in the leads (it's a real pleasure to see Darian in particular mix it up in her action scenes), plus there's stand-out work by Brian Anthony as rugged and vengeful fighter Harris, Leon South (a.k.a. director Kabasinski) as cold-blooded mercenary Largent, Brian Heffron as brutish thug Krieg, and Deanna Visalle as the formidable Zorn. The polished cinematography gives the picture a neat slick look (I really dug the brief use of split screen in one scene). Jeff Hawthorne's lively and stirring score does the right-on pumpin' trick. A very cool and enjoyable flick.
