So today I see the commercial for Thor, then I switch over to the syfy and see the commercial for this thing. Wow.

Has been wrestlers and Richard Grieco no less. Bet the poor bastard thought he was signing on to the big budget Thor instead of this. And check out the Loki make up on him. It looks like they just slapped him in the face with a white powder puff and called it good.

Reminds me of when the big budget War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise came out and the same time that straight to video one also was relesased with C Thomas Howell and Jake Busey.

I agree, they probably thought they signed up for a major motion picture. lol

The C. Thomas Howell version of War of the Worlds was a very lame attempt.

What I don't understand is, even though it's a low budget movie, doesn't the director care at all? Can't you motivate the actors to at least TRY to act? You'd think it's a college student pointing and shooting and calling it good.

The special effects were so poor but I think a little bit of creative editing could have helped a lot.
