Pretty Good

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

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This was utterly ridiculous.Dean Cain is OK, but most of his movies suck.This movie was purchased in a bundle of sci-fi and horror "gems" at the grocery store, or somewhere.It looks like a 90s video game and I can't believe anyone even signed on for this project.Two teams of dilberts fight over something, I don't even remember what, and some magical witches with lame CGI help or harm them-- again, it was so bad that you can only watch this film once, and you need to be extremely high or intoxicated to get through even one viewing.It was literally worse than a Saturday cartoon or a daytime soap. The only redeeming values were laughter and some laser fights or something.Utterly stupid, and the biggest waste of film since Pauly Shore, in the vein of the remake of Ghostbusters, but even sillier. I can't even fathom who comes up with these scripts or the money to pay the actors and fund these fecal matter bore fests.

I rented this movie because it looked nice, nice cover, and some nice screen shots at the back cover. But the cover alone gives you a very wrong impression of the movie. It begins promising when you hear of the war that goes on for years and how the war devastates the people you hope to see some huge army that fights the final battle for survival. but non of that is in this movie. You can see a real nice futuristic fighter plane on the back-cover. Sadly its just for 3 sec in the movie. And the whole deal of those "witches" fighting against some computer animation is just strange and sometimes confusing.

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.
