Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I feel very lucky that, despite the increasingly daunting prospects of funding, I live in a time when independent filmmakers can indulge the craziest of ideas. NINJA APOCALYPSE is not the most barking cinematic outing you can find, but it is an exercise of creative abandon. I imagine director Lloyd Lee Barnett trying to decide on whether to make a movie about ninjas, superhumans, or zombies and saying "Screw it - I'll make a movie about all of them!" Though low-budget movies on all of those subjects abound, Barnett's effort is still a modestly unique and entertaining adventure. While it's not for everyone, it's an effective niche flick for adventurous viewers.The story: Framed for murdering the master of all post-apocalyptic ninja bands (Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa), the leader of the Lost Clan (Christian Oliver) and his compatriots must face mutants, zombies, and their fellow ninjas as they fight their way out of a subterranean bunker.The most important things director Barnett brings to the production is enthusiasm and a sense of pacing. I can't claim that any technical or dramatic aspect of the film is anything more than a mixed bag, but directorial fervor bleeds into the story and gives it the energy that's so important to B-movies. We never get a good handle on any of the characters, but the plot is fun to follow in the same way that it's fun to play a video game. There are so many cool ideas stuffed into the feature – reptilian desert ninjas, regenerating zombies, THE LAST AIRBENDER-esque control of the elements, etc. – that it's easy to feel overwhelmed, and none of them are examined thoroughly, but there's enough indulgence to recognize this as an attention-maintaining tactic. It's effective, if you know what you're getting in to.Despite the amplitude of people throwing electricity, fireballs, and particle weapons at each other, this is foremost a martial arts film and features a ton of fighting. Like the special effects, it's a mixed bag, but even at their worst, the fights are pretty bearable and the performers are admirably athletic (including Christian Oliver, even though he's substantially doubled for his tricking). Swordfighting is the name of the game, and to this end, the movie benefits from the inclusion of supporting stars Alex Huynh, Alvin Hsing, and Ernie Reyes, Jr., even though they only get one match apiece. None of the fights are exceptional, but there are some neat examples of close-quarters choreography and an absence of annoying camera angles and editing tricks. Tentatively, I approve.Chances are that NINJA APOCALYPSE will not dramatically affect your life, so if you decide to watch it, I suggest doing so during a time that you would have spent being unproductive anyway. Consider it a rental, but do consider it if B-movies are your thing. You can do much worse.

This movie had everything. Some kind of martial arts, magic, animated blood, zombies, a large mute black dude, Ernie Reyes Jr., an elevator, an older model SUV, a village & really bad acting. That's a little something for every fan out there. If you can't find a reason to love this, you're just not human & I don't wanna know a person like you.I honestly don't know what this movie is actually about, but I'm just baked enough to kind of enjoy it. This movie is probably awful, but I watched G.I Joe: Retaliation right before it, so my opinion may be slightly skewed. Check it out for yourself, because I just sat through it. But watch the G.I Joe movie first, it'll make it better.

Where to begin? This movie was just horrible on so many accounts.Let's start with story concept and storyline then. Apparently a nuclear war destroys Earth and forces man to scurry underground to live and wait for the radiation fallout to clear. And apparently while doing so, mankind formed into ninja clans living by some Code of Honor of some sort. It just doesn't make any sense. Why would USA, which I assume is where the movie takes place given the language spoken and the dialects heard, become a ninja feudal society? It is just laughable to the point where it becomes stupid.So as mankind comes back to the surface of a wartorn Earth, the ninja clans must unite. But for the many years underground, ordinary clothing and firearms magically disappeared? Everyone was running around in clothes reminiscent of feudal Japan and using katanas, wakizashis and shurikens. It just didn't add up. Why would such weaponry be in abundance in a post apocalyptic USA? And while on the topic of "magic", then living underground apparently caused mankind to grow magical abilities such as telekinesis, summoning lightning, fire and even weaponry, and what have we not. Again, it was so far out there that it didn't come off as believable in any way.Oh, and I guess that mankind also mutated into reptilian hybrids at some point during their exile from the surface of the Earth. Why? My, oh my, why? And then there were zombies. Wait, what? Zombies? Yeah, zombies suddenly emerged in the furthest depths of the compound. And the ninjas fought them as if fighting zombies was an every day occurrence in post apocalyptic ninja USA. Right... Normally I am all for zombies, but they were so misplaced in this particular movie.I also loved the way that under 50 people managed to clap and cheer in a way that sounded like a sports arena packed to the max with spectators cheering and applauding. It was really stupid.Acting-wise, well let's just say you shouldn't get your hopes up too high. You know what you will get with a movie titled "Ninja Apocalypse", so enough said.What the movie did have working for it was the fighting and action. Although while not award-winning, it still proved entertaining enough for what it was worth. And of course, the ninjas. Yeah, anything with ninjas is worth a watch just for the fun of it."Ninja Apocalypse" doesn't make for a very worthy addition to the history of ninja movies. And truth be told, they don't make ninja movies the way they used to anymore. The good ninja movies are rare and far between.The movie makes good enough entertainment for a single viewing if you truly have nothing else to watch. "Ninja Apocalypse" is by no means a milestone in cinematic history.

This film looked good when I saw the title, so I tought let's watch it , and I was relieved when the movie ended. This movie was Starwars,Mortal Kombat,Mystique from X-men and The Walking Dead together. I couldn't believe how bad the film was. They had a good story but went totally over the limit every single time. I don't get how this movie got a 8+ rating , because it only deserves a 2, bad actors , story was decent but over the top way too many times. The copy cat in this movie was extra ordinary , it was so weird , they told things that didn't matter and didn't told things that did matter, why ninja's? it's modern times , and as far I know guns > swords. Cheap rip-off , don't watch the movie except if you are extremely bored.
