Movie Reviews of Crossworlds
Movie Review: Memorable Film - visually really well done
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a film you can enjoy watching more than once...There are visual twists to the story that are interesting and I found myself thinking about aspects of the film months after first viewing it...
Rutger Hauer does an excellent job, and the action just keeps rolling.
Movie Review: Intersting Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this primarily because Rutger Hauer was in it. I didn't expect much as I had never heard of the movie before. I was surprised it was a very enjoyable watch.Movie Review: Enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two sci-fi movies at the same time...this one and Velocity Trap. I have to say, I enjoyed Crossworlds far more than the other.Movie Review: RUTGER IS THE BEST
Summary: 4 Stars

Movie Review: One crystal to rule them all
Summary: 3 Stars
Twenty years ago in coastal Albania, a grave robber searches the tomb of a skeleton that looks suspiciously like Nicole Ritchie. Within the casket he finds not only the skeleton, but a web-covered staff. Just then, warlords from another dimension pass through from one world to another to confront the grave robber. Fast forward 20 years to a lame party in Los Angeles where Jack Black is overacting, irritating everyone, and hot women are turning down complete schmucks. So, in other words, all is normal. Suddenly, however, a strange but beautiful woman appears at the party to find Joe Talbot (Josh Charles), a young man with a mysterious crystal.
In no time whatsoever Joe and the mysterious woman, Laura (Andrea Roth), are being chased by warriors on horses from hundreds of years ago, gangster villains who look like destitute versions of Men in Black, and armor-clad knights brandishing swords and maces, all of whom warped from various worlds and dimensions through various time-space portals. Think Jumper mixed with a more dangerous version of Weird Science.
After that it's really not that much more complicated. It's bad guys chasing Joe, trying to get their hands on his crystal, and two time/dimension traveling resistance warriors - Laura and A.T. (Rutger Hauer) - attempting to resist the occupation of the warlords who are attempting to monopolize the mystical ability to travel through times, worlds, and dimensions...or something like that.
The biggest problem with this movie is the movie itself. There really isn't anything that stands out. The action, the character development, and the acting are all unremarkable (Stuart Wilson is particularly horrible as the villain). The acting is the worst; however, at no time is there a reason to choose a side in the battle of good versus evil. The complete lack of background story and explanation, no real understanding of what the struggle is, or even a remote glimpse into the other worlds are other wonderful oversights. By mid-movie I was hoping the crystals became property of an airline - probably United - and all of the movie's characters got stuck in some sort of inter-dimensional, 48-hour layover in the universe's equivalent to DC and the Gaza Strip combined.
I'd say skip it, unless you Rutger Hauer really turns you on, or you're a big sci-fi fan like me.
