WTF? I saw that movie on Starz the other day and it was terrible compared to the First troopers movie.

Cheers,

Yep, same here, just saw it. I was really concerned about the low budget and new director and unfortunately the film reflects my concerns.

Having said this, I know a lot of hard work went into the making of the film and encourage people to see it and form their own opinions.

As a consumer I would never endorse any form of media from a company that I had no vested interest in if were not up to par with the quality I came to expect from that particular media company, or music artist, etc. just because they worked hard to produce the media product. Hard work alone doesn't qualify as value. Quality and fine preparation of the final product that suits audience’s tastes gives media its value. It does for me anyway.

But I will check out the film anyway. It may be fun to watch.
