Is May the 4th a real Holiday? Who cares?
Let's celebrate in style with...The Asylum?!?
It looks nice.
A ragtag group of people- including a Space Knight, a Smuggler and the Daughter of Not Darth Sidious- try to keep it safe.
Why?
It has Manna, a full-on Ex Machina, at its core.
The Paladin- who looks like Scottish CM Punk- is a Jedi stand-in.
Note his weapon.
It is the mother-loving Sword from Halo.
Come on- you want to be sued by Disney AND Microsoft?!?
The Plot involves twists, turns, space battles and betrayals.
In lieu of more Screen Caps, enjoy this Cast Photo that sure feels like one for Farscape, no?
Can our Heroes save the day, especially when one Villain inexplicably gains Force Powers?
To find out, stream the Film now.
A rare, unforced error on The Asylum's part!
Did this Film need fake Star Wars branding? It isn't really a Mockbuster (since it has a unique Plot).
So, instead of just saying 'Here's this Sci-Fi Film we made,' they just pissed off alot of people. Good job.
The Film isn't great, to be fair. It has decent Acting, so-so Production values, good (if sparse CGI) and an alright Story. The branding, again, just killed any chance of this getting a fair shake.
Is this 1/10 Score fair? Not really, but you got it.
In all fairness, they rip off beats from Star Wars (and random things like dressing their Lead Actress like Padme in Episode II), steal/borrow from other IPs (the helpful hologram from Blade Runner 2049, the Halo Sword, etc.) and just generally don't feel all that creative.
It's not the worst Asylum Film by far. It is the most brazen since Age of the Hobbits though.
It's definitely NOT like Star Wars though- that is set in 'the Past,' but this one is in the Future...
An inoffensive, mid-level Sci-Fi Film that randomly did this branding. Was it worth it?
