Like all movies and stories, it has to start somewhere. There is a potential that some will like it and some will not. I for one really liked it. Although the baseline of the story has similarities from other shows, it had it's own uniqueness. What I disapprove of,is that they left it with the pilot instead of at least showing a few more episodes.If you recall Star Trek (Original Series) also had similar issues - however the movie industry is really fresh out of ideas. The keep remaking the same movies over and over for example Spider Man, Superman, Peter Pan, War of the Worlds, Cape Fear, Bram Stokers Dracula, to name a couple.The Warlord: Battle for the Galaxy has an opportunity to expand beyond Star Trek the Movies - with today's technology it would be Damn Cool! :) I say to the producers - Use Benedict Cumberbatch as Justin Thorpe, Emma Stone as Rula Kor, and John Pyper-Ferguson as Heenoc Xian.Hell this movie can yield on returns at lease $1.2 Billion... There is a lot of potential.

As a movie, it's a bit flat and the plot reads like the summary for a Nintendo game. Her's sister gets kidnapped by the bad guys, and he gathers a ragtag team of adventurers to save them. A retired general, a reformed bad guy, a telepath, a kid (not as annoying as Wesley), and some woman whose purpose is to take up space on the bridge. The movie can't match StarWars for effects, but it's marginally better than Episode 1 and Episode 2.As a TV Pilot (which it is), it's very similar to Andromeda, with a civilization thrown in chaos, and the heroes having to restore civilization to save the galaxy. It's a 70s type space opera with improved effects and better set design. While it had the same potential but the "To Be Continued" type ending can lead you with a bad taste in your mouth if you're not ready for it. I was somewhat saddened to find out that there was no series, so the entire movie was a setup for an ending that will never be made.

OK, the ending was rather disappointing because it was shot as a pilot, but i definitely would have watched the series. A nice mix from various Sci-Fi-Elements like the "Old General who served the Republic before" .... A advanced technological race who wants to "assimilate" the galaxy ....I think if the characters had a little more time to develop it would have been interesting.

this is an excellent movie and i would like to see it turned in to a tv series
