I liked this film because it didn't get too technical with the medical/scifi terminology. It was easy to follow in that respect. The fight scenes were done very well with only one objectionable/hokey death of a bad guy. I liked the fact that the hero was not infallible. He had some chinks in his armor which made him more interesting. I would like to have seen one tiny redeeming quality in the main warrior bad guy though. Even just a slight hesitation when he's about to do something really nasty-a hint of regret-would help me believe a little bit more in his character. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in swords or this type of hand to hand combat. The guys aren't bad to look at either!

I rented this video because I like films with action and sword fights, but this film did not deliver. The action was weak and the sword fights were silly. The direction and acting were even worse. I wish I could say something positive but I can't think of anything.

Robert Chapin, who gave us so much good action in "Ring of Steel", does nothing to advance his career here. This is a lamely written, poorly directed, overall amateur-feeling video.

The plot involves a post-apocalyptic swordfighter going back to our time to save the future from some plague, or something. There's something in there about how he rebelled against the warlord who created him, there's the requisite romantic interests and bad guys and stranger-in-a-strange-land type stuff as our heroes and villains explore 1990's LA.

The sets in the future are obviously someone's back yard. The fight choreography is blatant and poorly edited. The acting ranges from almost competent to woeful, and is not helped by the weak material. The director himself plays a guy about to enjoy his wedding night when the female hero from the future, inexplicably topless, appears in his bed. This level of sophistication infuses the whole production. A decent student film festival will give you more cinematic satisfaction.

The only reedeeming qualities I found in this fim are the eye-candy actors and the ability to clearly analyze the sword fighting choreography.
