Your Reviews
One of the worst movies I\'ve seen in long time. A terrible waste of acting talent and special effects. Was this movie financed by a religious backer? It was full of religious crap.
A truly disappointing movie. After watching the trailer I was eagerly waiting for the DVD release. What a waste! Weak story, and campy acting for all artists. This movie had NO redeeming qualities.
Good movie; A little confusing; bad story setting. Overall an Ok movie though.
