Buy This Item Future War by Trinity Home Ent  Available from Amazon  $6.98  on 11-16-2008     WOW! That's all I can say after watching this ridiculous movie. This one is right up there (or down there, depending on how you look at it) with R.O.T.O.R. and Supersonic Man when it comes to the pantheon of bad movies. A few good things about this movie. I learned that Los Angeles is the cardboard box capitol of the world. The boxes are everywhere in this film. I learned why L.A. has problems with drought and has to get its water from northern California..the water system there is built out of wooden pallets!! WHen the "actors" venture into the sewers to kill the foam rubber dinosaurs the sewers are built of wooden pallets. It probably leaks all the drinking water right back into the ground! Bad acting, horrible special effects and the worst knock off of the police station scene in the first Terminator movie I have ever seen. If you like bad movies this stinker is for you! Reader Reviews Hilariously bad.Wonderfully bad.While the MST3K version of this movie is priceless ("Thank you for not killing me should be a Hallmark card" "Weird PSA for the Catholic Church" and snarky remarks on the ubiquitous cardboard boxes),this movie stands out as a landmark of lousy filmmaking. Let's take those dinosaurs--they look huge,but in the next scene,you see how small they REALLY are.They overuse forced perspective--and you realize people are running,screaming,from midget dinosaurs. Let's take the alien "human" who gets tons of gratuitous shirtless scenes,Daniel Bernhardt.He starts out groaning&eating with his hands (while he camps out at what is apparently the Biggest Loser Halfway House for the Obese).Suddenly,he's quoting the Bible and how he wants to "lay down his life for his friends." He helps the cussing nun regain her faith.And when he's imprisoned,he cries out "Cha!Cha!" What happens after the alien saves mankind?He becomes a rehab counselor at the halfway house. Finally,let's take this movie's weird take on faith.It's all about the prostitute-turned-nun who wonders if she should take her final vows.An interesting,compelling idea for a movie.However,when she's taking her final vows,she keeps on giving significant looks to the alien&after the fight scene,one wonders if she's given herself to Jesus or the alien.Huh?It's almost as if there were two movies going on-an alien fleeing slavery-a nun regaining her faith-and neither of them fit together right. "Future War" is a PERFECT movie for a good laugh.It restores your faith in that,yes,cheesy movies still exist and are a balm for the soul.
