Nonureva Really Surprised!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

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

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Paul Andrews Warriors of Terra starts late one night as four animal rights activist's intend to break into a research laboratory & free the animals, Ali (Ellen Furey) who is helping them is the daughter of head scientist Dr. Woods (Andrew Gillies) & Ali has stolen her dad's key card which they intend to use to get into the laboratory. The group make it in safely but by using the key card an alarm is set-off & standard protocols are followed, an armed response team is soon on the scene to investigate & the animal rights activist's are forced to take an elevator to a lower level. In an attempt to get out the building's computer is hacked & every door is unlocked but that also unlocks a sealed room in the lower level in which a failed experiment escapes, the experiment is a virtually indestructible genetically altered woman named Maya (Trina Brink) who needs to melt people & then eat the remains to stay alive...This Canadian production was directed by Robert Wilson & is basically your typical mutant monster on the loose flick, the clichés come thick & fast & overall it's just not very good. The script which takes itself very seriously is a mess of unrelated & unexplained ideas, there are several instances that don't make sense like what happened to Dr. Woods at the end? Why did the girl kill Chris but not Ali even though she's meant to be this unstoppable killing machine? Even though it's stated Maya needs to eat to stay alive what was she eating for the past ten years while locked up? Why did Maya not eat anyone she killed? All the bodies are seen at some point intact. At over 90 minutes Warriros of Terra feels like it goes on forever, there are seemingly endless scenes of these paper thin character's walking around dark corridors it's untrue & it gets very, very annoying since the whole film is so dark & devoid of colour it's often difficult to make out what's going on. The whole film is just one long frustrating experience, from the overly familiar (think Aliens (1986)) & predictable (Ali lives, the bad guy's die) plot to the lack of gore or solid explanations. A total bore from start to finish really.Even the genetic experiment is nothing more than a woman who walks around, wow how boring & dull is that. I have to mention how dark it is again, I cannot stress enough how annoying Warriors of Terra becomes after constant scenes set in near pitch black corridors where you really can't see anything. The entire film is dark & it looks like all the colour was bleached out in post production, it's not that far from being black and white to be honest. Also I was sat there thinking about the lay out of that laboratory & that there was only one small lift to it, how did they get all that equipment down there? What happens if the lift breaks down? Not having some stairs as back-up just seems like it's asking for trouble. Forget about any proper gore, there's a bit of (dark) blood but nothing graphic or memorable.Filmed in Ontario in Canada the production seem alright but it's so bloody dark & dank all the time it's hard to make out what's going on half the time, it seems quite well made otherwise though. Edward Furlong is the only cast member I recognise which in itself can't be good, the acting is OK I suppose but so what?Warriors of Terra is your standard genetic monster on the loose in lots of very, very dark corridors only in Warriors of Terra there isn't even a decent monster as it's just some woman, totally predictable & throughly routine sci-fi horror that is merely a collection of ideas from better films thrown together. Not recommended.

lastliberal If you are looking for a creepy show on a Saturday night, then this one that could fit the bill if you catch it on cable. I would certainly be more inclined to believe that Big Pharma has something like this in the basement than some creature from space.Trina Brink makes her debut performance ay Maya, the mutant. She doesn't have any lines, but she is a scary presence that will creep you out.No great performances by anyone else, but I did like Ellen Furey and Andrea Lui.The setting was perfect and the movie was at least more interesting than the NASCAR race on the other channel.

julian kennedy Warriors of Terra: 2 out of 10: Alien style movies have been done to death for a very long time. They can still work if A: The creature is decent. B: The gore is decent and C: If the underground fortress/submarine/spaceship the people are trapped on/in contains co-ed showers.Grudge/Ringu style movies with pasty faced white skinned black haired ghosts that scream like insects has also been done to death. Personally I think that genre is close to spent.Combining the two is a pretty bad idea. Warriors of Terra takes that already shaky foundation and goes nowhere with it. Needless to say there is no decent gore, no co-ed showers and a pasty ghost girl is not scary except in an OMG there is still another hour left to this movie kind of way.First time director Robert Wilson has his finger stuck on the annoying effects button so we can never get a clear view of the action. (Guys don't zoom while you're moving the camera).The plot is that of an animal's right group (Complete with rich daddy's girl, radical ELF terrorist who inexplicably sports a fur collar on her parka, and my favorite cliché hot computer geek who can hack into anything from her Mystery Machine Van headquarters.) attacking the big bad bio-lab. The corporate lab of course has a basement located somewhere around the earths core and is defended by a nerve gas doomsday device. (Are those available at Staples?). You can pretty much write the ending from here.Michael J Fox look-alike and T2 has-been Edward Furlong looks and acts like a walking cautionary billboard about drug use.All in all the acting and production values are decent (this is not a filmed with daddy's old camera job) but the Grudge ghost in an Alien flick concept plays even worse than it sounds

shadowgirl10101 For a 'B' rated movie in a $3.88 bin at Walmart, I found the movie quite entertaining even though it did have quite a few reference's to other movies.On a Halloween night, this is definite movie to qualify to watch with other Horror movies. I am a fan and do watch a lot of Horror movies everything from Movies Box Office to 'B' rated movies. When I bought it, along with a few other Horror movies which I bought 6 in total of horror movies along with 6 more movies that were non-horror. Warriors of Terra has it's moments that make you jump and a few that make you laugh. What is a horror movie without a few laughs?In my book I am keeping this movie and save it for years to come on Halloween.
