An absolute waste of money

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Have you noticed that every bad movie begins with an absurdly long credit scene? Future war is no different. I understand sometimes there are budget constraints but if you only have limited funds, much better to choose a script that does not require CGI.Acting is poor, but not as poor as some other bad movies 2.5/10. The character who plays Fred was probably the pick of the bunch. Script wasn't exactly genius, random objects can always be found when needed. Setting is very basic, it seems the director knew someone who owned a warehouse at least. Possibly even a cardboard box factory. Main 'cyborg' Antagonist looks like he just stepped out of a Kiss concert. Graphics are poor, badly done even to 1970s standards. The sock puppets are quite well done.... I mean they do look like kids toys but you couldn't see the hand right?Cinematography and direction practical non-existant. Production had no clue. Camera is unstable, probably hand held all the way through. Sound is choppy at times, sometimes it is passable. If it wasn't for the dinosaurs, if it were a bounty hunter using robot darlek-like trackers or something, and with a slightly higher production budget, mainly for some actual production and a script review. This could have been a 3 or 4.This is bad, but not as bad as some. Some decent laughs especially in the Dino scenes

I'm actually reviewing this after seeing it on an old MST3K episode on Netflix, and the humorous commentary was the only reason I bothered watching it beyond the opening scene. The one positive thing I can say is that it's a good example of a bad movie. It left me feeling sorry for the director, actors, and others associated with production of this film. It looks like it was written in the 1970s and filmed in the 1980s with 1960s special effects on a 1950s budget.

I believe I may be one of only two people on the planet that watched this mess without knowing it was on Mystery Science Theater. My buddy who bought it for five bucks back in 2003 at an Airforce Post Exchange on Okinawa, being the other one. We watched this terrible movie quite a few times over that six month deployment, because we honestly thought that we had stumbled on the worst movie of all time. We wanted to get revenge on the cruel world that allowed such a piece of unholy trash to be made, by showing it to anyone who was stupid enough to watch. Thinking back, this was flawed logic...because all it did was force us to view it with them...again. Pretty sure my IQ is significantly lower in 2008 than it was in 2003, pre-future war. Anyway, no need for me to rehash the kick @ss plot or report on the stellar acting, or applaud the wonderful special effects. That has been done enough already. I did this review because I wanted to comment on the "producer speaks" comment. I believe he said that he didn't understand how anyone could say this was a terrible movie. WHAT?!! My response is I don't understand how you are a movie producer if you help movies like this see the light of day AND then have the nerve to ask that question? Then he goes on to state how people who didn't work on this particular movie or ANY movie "for that matter" are not qualified to comment on a movie being bad. Wow...are you kidding? That would be like me getting my food back at my table burned, two hours after placing my order and not being allowed to critique it because I'm not A CHEF. Movies are made for THE VIEWERS!!!! So of course THE VIEWERS have every right to criticize movies, especially ones that rob of us of our time, money and dignity.

In the climactic fight scene, the escapee seems to be hurt and Sister Anne kneels down and holds him the the classic "Pieta" position. I am so surprised that Mike and the 'bots did not pick up on this (as they did for other religious references) and I don't see any other posters who noticed it either. This is such a sorry excuse for a movie! And,as others have said before me, maybe the saddest of all is the cardboard box camera. Also, the dinosaurs sometimes seems like giants and sometimes like small critters and this is not just the false perspective. It's part of the movie that their sizes seem to change. Still, with Mike and the 'bots, it's a fun way to waste a couple of hours!
