Ninja Apocalypse (2014) Reviews

• American Antininjapocalypse

  infernal-eternal2015-01-03

  This movie is supposed to be about ninjas. Sadly, these guys don't act like ninjas. They act like typical Americans. Arrogance, macho attitude, constant bickering amongst themselves instead of fighting the enemy, no sense of honour and discipline, ridiculousness and stupidity... That's what you get. It's hard to enjoy a movie where all characters are like that. Add poor acting and some cliché melodramatic scenes that don't make much sense, and you've got the whole picture. The plot is obviously completely irrelevant in a movie called "Ninja Apocalypse", so I won't get into it. As a side note, the group of our "heroes" consists of 3 white males, one woman, and one black guy. I'll let you guess which two die first. If all you care about is a bunch of guys fighting, go for it. The fighting scenes weren't too bad. But that's really the only thing this movie has going for it.

• The Warriors ... underground

  kosmasp2014-12-15

  I guess I didn't get the memo, that a re-imagining of The Warriors was on the way. But I did watch it and unfortunately it doesn't hold up. There are other elements mixed in for and you have a certain dignity with Cary Tagawa, who's not only reliable, but also brings gravitas (even underground, yes!). The effects are OK, the fights are also OK, for the budget that this movie had. I guess if this was made in the 80s (yes, like the Warriors, but even by that standard it lacks quite a bit), I might have liked the group mentality and the quirkiness of the movie. Characters are OK too, not much acting and not really any surprises (twist!) ...

• Mortal Kombat meets Resident Evil meets Light Sabers

  omairtajammul2014-08-11

  This is an OK time-pass movie. Like if you don't have a AAA title to watch or just want to have a casual watch you can look at this. It kinda like Mortal Kombat meets Resident Evil meets Starwars Light Sabers meet Ninjas. You have your good Raidens and Liu Kangs and your bad Reptiles and Tanyas with Shang Sung. Budget as you can tell is quite low but still decent stuff pulled off. Story wise well just your average survival stuff. In short, its not a total waste of time and for a video game fan like myself this could prove to be a nice watch since you can tell from where the movie makers were inspired from to make different set pieces.

• Ninjas, Zombies, Ryu and Ken, Mortal Kombat all thrown into a craptastic movie

  clarkmick332015-06-06

  This movie takes everything from ninja pop culture and video games and makes a movie out of it....and somehow zombie pop culture got thrown into it all as well. I think the directors were just having one hell of a time trying their best with a tiny budget to make the scenes look cool and not giving a flying f@&k about how the acting was done or who the characters were. The premise was ...ummmmmm...........just strange...I mean yes the earth was blown apart by nuclear war....but why has everyone turned to a feudal Japanese system for survival? Why does no one seem concerned about radiation? Why does no one have guns? Why do some people have super powers like Ryu or Ken on Street Fighter? Why the hell are there American white and black people being ninjas> I hope this movie was made by film students because the acting and dialogue was what I would expect from a bunch of college bums. I suppose we should all just take the movie for what it is.....a Saturday morning cereal crunching, brain numbing, action flick. I think the creators had vision ...........the vision of a 12 year old boy interpretation of what ninjas should be like - a cross between Mortal Kombat, Tekken and Tenchu Stealth Assassin (now there's a cool PlayStation game!!!)

• A Different Kind Of Ninja Movie

  loveablejohn-466292019-03-21

  This movie was entertaining to watch as it had a cast that did a good job in their roles and the special effects along with the cinematography were outstanding. The fights were well choreographed and the script was evidently mostly copied from another movie but it was pretty good overall.
