EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

TheLittleSongbird I have disliked the SyFy original movies more than I have liked them, though there were a few I was surprised by. Crimson Force is not their worst or quite bad enough one of their bottom-of-the-barrel movies, but it is still really bad. The special effects even for SyFy are really cartoony, while the rest of the production values including the most fake-looking and inauthentic ship interior ever and rather choppy editing don't fare much better. The script is awful, very hackneyed and lacking any sort of point, while the story is highly derivative(of Stargate mainly), wanders about all over the place and never seems to find a consistent tone and the characters are clichéd and annoying. Unlike the bottom-of-the-barrel SyFy movies, Crimson Farce(excuse me, Crimson Force) does have a redeeming quality, which is the performance of David Chokachi. He's not too camp and he didn't seem to take things too seriously. Which is more than I can say for Thomas C.Howell, whose performance, a very uneasy mix of campiness and phoning in and both at extreme levels at times, is the complete opposite. All in all, a terrible movie, I've seen worse but that is little consolation. 1/10 Bethany Cox

elliott78212 First this was made in 2005 the CGI is ambitious even though its lacking depth you find even now on the SyFy channel but don't let that get in you way...or you risk missing one of the better films they have ever offered. C Thomas Howell well he always kinda leaves me running for the remote and here he plays a bad guy should I say over plays, however the rest of the cast isn't bad at all and does a decent job. The script could of used some polish but moves along telling a good story with lots of twists and surprises. I caught this on SyFy website for free late tonight, enjoyed it completely even stopped doing my chores sat down and paid attention. Check it out, I don't honestly think you will be dissatisified. I give it a 6 out of 10 losing one mark for less than stellar CGI.

usascottwright This was such a bad movie, bad acting and just doesn't make a whole lot of since.C. Thomas Howell is such a bad actor. He was good in only one movie that I saw him in and that was the hitcher. Everything else is just so bad.1. A corporation is going to send out a billion dollar investment with a guy who is criminally insane at the helm and then mid way threw helped murder a crew member because he is paranoid.2. What is crew members eating at there stations. getting greasy fingers and hands all in the mix of mechanical parts.3. An advanced civilization which seams that doesn't know whats going on? Some foreign entities walk right through there front door and they don't know about it? Director:David Flores - Writer:Rob Mecarini - OK you two is this your first movie. It doesn't have to be good as Star Trek, Star Wars, SG1, Battestar Galactica. Even the movie the day the earth stood still from 1951 was better executed than this movie.You have to make movies believable, with a hint of truth and that it could happen and not some paranoid murderous ship captain.The very first sentence in the movie; Sir something is happening, he didn't say report, or what is happening, he said keep it steady, what????? You would think you are million miles from home, you would want to know every little creak and noise going on because there isn't a good year on every planet to get your ship fixed.

nottiwench17 I watched Baywatch to stare at David Chokachi. And I watched Crimson Force for the same reason. I don't agree with certain IMDb reviewers that most of the Sci-Fi channel original programming is bad, I enjoy some of it. And then some of it is just so bad, it's good. Unfortunately, Crimson Force isn't even it that category. It's good if you are into staring at Chokachi! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!If the Sci-fi Channel would be smart enough to pick up Witchblade repeats, then I could stare at Chokachi AND watch something highly intelligent AND entertaining!
