A friend just sent me this trailer. http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.p...tantchronicles

I think it actually looks and sound really interesting. It may end up being bad, but I'm at least interested enough to watch (probably home release). I do have a feeling of Sky Captain mixed with 13th Warrior.

that poster immediately reminded me of Near Dark for some reason

FuQ

I downloaded a torrent of this. It is on home video overseas. It is kind of weak and low budget. I was bored pretty quickly.

Hey all, just FYI:

This movie is available to rent as a "pre-release" kinda deal on the Xbox live video marketplace. I haven't checked it out yet but am tempted.

Just thought I'd share.

islandclaws

Check it out, then give us your thoughts. I haven't seen anything on this yet.

Robert

Its been sitting on the shelf for more than 2 years; that should tell you all you need to know.

RocShemp

Looks like fun. It also looks like it could have benefited from a budget more suited to their intent but it looks like fun nonetheless. I'll rent it.

I think I also read somewhere HDNET will be airing it also pre-release.

Torchur317

Video on Demand has this available right now also....

LickTheABCs

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it won't be worth the money VoD charges for their pre-release movies. I'll just wait for the middle of the month when HDNet plays it.

FYI - This movie will be premiering on HDNet Movies this Wednesday night. I think they're showing it three times in a row so you won't have to miss LOST.

Geofferson

^ Thanks for the heads-up!

lost is repeat anyway

Saw this last year and it's bad. Could have been good but it just isn't

Shilex

Agreed. Not a very good movie at all. Bad dialogue, lousy action, terrible effects, horrible story. The movie feels like live action cut scenes within a video game (ex: Command & Conquer). Overall it was pretty boring and nothing special.

asianxcore

That explains the Thai DVD I saw over the weekend at a convention.

d2cheer

Naw it would still have been bad!
Still not the worst I have ever seen it but bad in almost every possible way...

Torchur317

Checked this out last night, It was very entertaining....
It had a decent cast also, I liked it....
I agree it's very low budget & has some lower quality SFX....

riley_dude

I'll give it a try.

OldBoy

Saturday, 6/27 @ 9:00pm EST
if anyone wants to record or something.

AnonomusBob15

Ha. This film's thread didn't even make it to the 2nd page before it had it's SciFi debut. Sounds like a winner

islandclaws

Watched this one last night.

Atrocious.

mikehunt

netflixed it
I saw it had Perlman, Malcovich, and Jane and I like them all so I figured why not
I'll write this as I watch

I kept waiting for "war, war never changes" during the opening narration

so, the ship thing comes, causes major war that apparently knocks humanity back to the middle ages, they rebuild and we end up with WW1 all over again in the 23rd century? is that about right for the opening few minutes?

hmm, so now a few more minutes into it we find out they have space travel. interesting mix of tech.

over now
not a horrible movie but not one I'll be buying
