Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

mads leonard holvik After reading the reviews before watching the movie, I did not have high hopes. However, in hindsight, I think some of them were a bit harsh. Albeit, after the really amateurish first 5 minutes, with the meteor impact shown just as some images the director probably found on google, and a scene that lasted for 5 minutes where the bad guys crank up their motor cycles at least 25 times, I was very near to giving up. But then, maybe after the mutants came, with their nice powers, and that super pretty woman who had healing abilities, I kept on watching. I think that Lance Henriksson was a pretty good villain. I especially liked one scene, where the number one hench man remarked that how come the mutants just didn't realize that they did not deserve to live? After which the boss just replied. "I like that!" The fact that this movie is a B or a C movie, with probably a very limited budget, makes it just more interesting. It is like a poor mans X-men. The prophet had some sort of combined powers were he could create a shield to push people away at the same time having prophetic abilities. This is not the worst movie ever made. It is FAR worse to spend tens of millions and still make garbish, like the last Planet of the Ape movie. This movie at least does not pretend to be anything else than it is!

noizyme Lance Henriksen was the only real reason to pick up this movie. Later on, I read the box to find Isaac Hayes is in here as well. It turns out that this film is basically the X-men movie with more humanity involved.Henriksen's character, Parish, is the leader of a post-meteor collision with Earth, leaving a handful of people at his control (roughly 300 max). He uses his hypnotic control over them (a power he gained during the meteor strike) and has a complete reign of control over others like him who were affected by the crash giving them random super powers as well. Rage, the main character being followed, has the real story in this picture, being Parish's son (a twist which no one should have to wait through this movie for) and having hope that he can escape this new colony with his newfound, similarly-affected friends he has made.Isaac Hayes plays a wise sage who is there to tell Rage and his friends what's really going on throughout the entire film, and he also shows off his cheap "Star Wars-esquire" force push technique on villains.I felt the movie was a ripoff of like-minded films, which is easy to do being that its such an abstract story but very comic book-like. The special effects went back and forth between weird and stupid (hardly mind-blowing except for the child in the film having crazy evil eyes in a scene). The raining sequence was particularly fake-looking. There was a humorous chant and celebration during the naming of the child, which cannot be missed. Also, like Magneto talking about his feelings in the X-men movies, Parish discusses his actions whilst in the midst of some "rage art" (like splattering paint on canvas-art) which is different and should've been looked into character-wise.The set design echoed like-minded films which feature a wasteland-looking scenery, but it didn't reflect the DVD's cover art at all (a downer). The hunters (like in true 80's action films) had very leather and stud motifs in their wardrobe, but the main character good guy team didn't have any special suits or anything (one of the only differences between it and X-men). I liked the one girl, Paloma (I think her name was) was a direct ripoff of Jubilee from X-men and acted more like a human Tesla coil than anyone with superpowers. And the main girl (who could heal people) was just like Jean Grey, Isaac Hayes might as well have been Professor X (but with Hayes' Black Moses wardrobe), and the others had power like heroes on Captain Planet.The music was nothing special except in the first scene when the meteor was going down; it was more-or-less rehashed electronic music with the edge of 80's action movies (again). And the direction was like a television direction, which makes sense as it seems like a straight to video release anyways, yet it was still average with hardly any thought going on.All in all, I gave the film a 5. I check the running time about 4 times in the movie (meaning: it got boring at times), but it was a different take on these hero movies out. This seems more like a vehicle for up and coming actors who are tired of not being in films, so they made this. And it wasn't all that horrible...just average as hell.

thcb777 This movie wasn't at all what we expected? We got the impression from the box that it was set in the ancient ages? IE. Attila, or Braveheart because the case showed a guy dressed in armor almost like something from a movie set in the mid-evil era. I was disappointed in the movie overall I found the fight scenes far to rehearsed looking and slow the acting was poor at best minus Danica's (parish's wife, the few's scene's she was in were okay and her acting was slightly better than her co-actor's). It is a (2004) movie but it appeared to be done as a low budget 80's flick which may be due to a low budget I am not sure? It left far to many unanswered question's and overall I cannot even think of a movie to compare it to and unfortunately we feel as though this is one movie that we should not have rented. And I guess it proves the saying, Never judge a movie by the case it comes in :)!!

wgg-1 In a cast of pros, Lance Henriksen and Richard Norton as villain and henchman respectively portray a complex chemistry between their characters that elevates "Dream Warrior" aka "Man Called Rage" above standard action movie fare. The chemistry between these two excellent actors is also obvious, and their scenes together give this movie its best moments of tension and drama. An opening stunt featuring Norton, also the film's stunt coordinator, sets the swift pace for the science fiction epic which will please the "Beastmaster" fans of Daniel Goddard, playing the hero. It's always a thrill to watch actors who excel at their craft, especially when they work together. Norton and Henriksen more than qualify!
