When a pirate version of the most popular - first person shooter video game lands in the hands of Matt and Jimmy, they immediately think it's the coolest video game they have ever played. Little do they know that what seems to be their favourite video game is actually an evil recruiting device to turn selected kids into real Time Warriors, at the service of "The Lord of War": an evil character behind every war since the beginning of time.

The Worst Film Ever
I wanted to but couldn't!
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
As this is an Independent Film, I am not sure if it was ever released in theaters, but when I saw it at Walmart it looked like something my 14 year old son might like so I took the leap. While the movie is a little rough around the edges, it seems to me to that should be expected with an independent film, at least that has been my experience. All and all, it was actually a good movie. I was amazed that a movie made today (particularly one so "video game" related)was so kid and family friendly. Was an interesting take on the struggle between good and evil, and I felt the overall concept of the Time Warrior was interesting and original. Some of the acting could have been better, but from what I can see most of the actors in the movie have never been in anything before. I have to say the movie obviously left room for a sequel or even a trilogy and I would definitely like to see the next one.
There are some things being said in the other reviews that I disagree with, the women in the film are not that bad at acting. The stripper and the blonde mom actually did a great job. The little sister, who disappears a little past half way through the film - don't know why, was pretty good too. All of the men are in great need of acting lessons or how to hold a towel over one arm while asking "smoking or non-smoking" before taking people to their tables. The lead was bad and that is never a good thing. Everyone keeps raving on and on about how the budget must have been spent on the special effects - OK, so the Lamborghini, and the other hot sports car, and the helicopter were dirt cheap to rent right? Without knowing what it cost to rent those cars it seems it must have been a big part of the budget along with that really nice house that was featured - unless that was one of the cast member's. If you are looking for a tidy close you are in for rough seas; in every direction nothing made sense. He is supposed to be a Time Warrior but doesn't ever travel time. The plot holes are everywhere - jumps wall without skateboard, gets home has skateboard, sister creepy and into game, sister vanishes from the film, black dust comes out a guys throat - because of why???? And again, no time traveling. I am still trying to cope with the idea that Donkey Kong never has a donkey regardless of the level or the idea that the San Diego Freeway doesn't go to San Diego! I don't need more confusion.It was way better than Laser Blast, and way worse than Night of the Comet. But don't hate on the women/girls - do hate on the men/bullies/dads/leads, yes, do. The seed of a great concept is in this so it may be worth your watch, just be prepared to pay for that seed with your time and a small part of your brain that will die forever.
Wow, what can I say... this film is just bad! Bad, bad, bad...Bad acting - REALLY bad acting, bad, terrible script and really badly thought out as a story.Seriously, the acting in this was absolutely desperate. Whoever thought the young people and adults in this were good enough to gain a place on movie film, must have had pure rocks in their head. I genuinely couldn't (and still can't) believe that someone would actually hire people this bad at acting. They make Miley Cyrus look like an Oscar winner and that's saying something!What drugs was the casting person(s) on when they hired this lot? I could normally single people out for bad acting in some films but I didn't have to bother here. They ALL were desperate. Admittedly some stood out far, far worse than others - including the main actor but they were all in the same class obviously when a teacher failed to teach then how to act in front of a camera and speak!The script was just so badly wrote all the way through, it actually became funny. So convoluted, so much dragging the bottom of the barrel for over used phrases and pauses for dramatic effect. So predictable! It was just, just so desperately bad. No kidding!The story itself could have been wrote on the back of a postcard - and I suspect it was! Pity when they finished, they didn't post it into the bin...I tried watching it as I'm a good sci-fi fan but this whole farce was that bad that I found myself forwarding through parts of it - I just couldn't suffer many scenes, they were that crap and far too drawn out. Unless your into inflicting serious mental pain upon yourself, avoid this one like the total plague. When available on DVD, all I can say is that at least you got an extra table coaster then for your hot drink or glass of beer to rest on. Other than that, use the DVD of this film for frisbee target practice toward the nearest rubbish container.Just bad, bad, bad...(P.S. I had to give the film a rating of "one" - sadly there was no "zero" available.)
This movie might have been really good if it had the budget of say transformers but it doesn't. The cgi is week and the worst part is the acting OMG I do not think even the syfy channel would play this movie because the acting is so bad.The only good thing about the movie is the main characters girl friend is hot and his friends mom. Now if there was a shower scene or something I might have given this movie a 4.5 rating but it only makes a 3 in my book. I don't know where they spent 850,000 bucks but it wasn't on the actors.The ends when it just starts to get good, now why is it whenever he travels in time he lands somewhere in war.There was no indication on what the smoke rising out of his friends mouth when he was lying in the hospital, was that his soul leaving him or is he now relieved of his commitment to the game.
