Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

best movie i've ever seen.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

There were some extremely good special effects in this movie. The sets were cheesy though.They didn't explain why some of the double-crosses were happening or were even necessary.

Like all other low budget sci-fi flicks, this one also fell apart despite having an interesting plot. The set designing was okay, so was the costumes, equipments etc. But where this one lagged behind is the cinematography with special effects. An air of childish simplicity is revealed on this occasion. Everyone expects mature and massive use of special effects in a sci-fi war movie like this; but evidently due to low budget and less actors somehow you'll feel uneasy about the lack of completeness while watching. The background music also seemed insufficient.But the producers and directors did everything else perfectly to make it worth watching. The story is quite interesting. They did everything necessary to create a wave of tension throughout. The screenplay is not that bad. Justin Whalin (Dungeons & Dragons) did not disappoint me. You do not expect much from the other actors in a movie like this and I'll say they did their part well. The locations were good chosen etc and etc.So this is one movie which should become quite an eye-opener for new movie makers. If you don't have money, don't venture to make a sci-fi one.

I must admit it's hard to take *any* movie seriously that has Dean Cain or Thomas Ian Griffith in it, seeing how much made-for-video junk they have been in previously - and both of them appear in this movie! Overall this movie is a disappointment - many important elements that would have explained things are not here (I suspect they got edited out along the way), there is a lack of excitement in the action and the lack of war-weariness this 99 year-old war would have placed on its people. Some of the effects and sets (such as the glass caverns) would embarrass even Roger Corman. The climatic battle is straight out of a video game!Still, a few effects (like some matte paintings) aren't bad, and there are some interesting ideas here and there, intriguing ideas that, in a better screenplay, could have made for a compelling adventure. As it is now, this plays like a (rough) first draft, and it's easy to see why Dimension released this directly to video stateside (after spending two years on the shelf.0

I really tried hard to like this movie, but most of it's elements just don't work. The acting is merely good enough, so is the music. Some of the CGI effects look good, some even great, but there aren't enough of them to hide the low budget. Some sets, like the inside of the glass wall, reminded me of old Star Trek episodes - TOS, that is. What's left is an intriguing scenario, ripped apart by the most disappointing feature: the plot. It starts well, descents into a slow and boring trip and even manages to screw up the showdown. "For the Cause" (aka Warhammer) is more like stretched version of a weak Outer Limits episode. Too bad Tim and David Douglas failed in bringing their obvious passion for film making into the movie.
