noizyme Lance Henriksen was the only real reason to pick up this movie. Later on, I read the box to find Isaac Hayes is in here as well. It turns out that this film is basically the X-men movie with more humanity involved.Henriksen's character, Parish, is the leader of a post-meteor collision with Earth, leaving a handful of people at his control (roughly 300 max). He uses his hypnotic control over them (a power he gained during the meteor strike) and has a complete reign of control over others like him who were affected by the crash giving them random super powers as well. Rage, the main character being followed, has the real story in this picture, being Parish's son (a twist which no one should have to wait through this movie for) and having hope that he can escape this new colony with his newfound, similarly-affected friends he has made.Isaac Hayes plays a wise sage who is there to tell Rage and his friends what's really going on throughout the entire film, and he also shows off his cheap "Star Wars-esquire" force push technique on villains.I felt the movie was a ripoff of like-minded films, which is easy to do being that its such an abstract story but very comic book-like. The special effects went back and forth between weird and stupid (hardly mind-blowing except for the child in the film having crazy evil eyes in a scene). The raining sequence was particularly fake-looking. There was a humorous chant and celebration during the naming of the child, which cannot be missed. Also, like Magneto talking about his feelings in the X-men movies, Parish discusses his actions whilst in the midst of some "rage art" (like splattering paint on canvas-art) which is different and should've been looked into character-wise.The set design echoed like-minded films which feature a wasteland-looking scenery, but it didn't reflect the DVD's cover art at all (a downer). The hunters (like in true 80's action films) had very leather and stud motifs in their wardrobe, but the main character good guy team didn't have any special suits or anything (one of the only differences between it and X-men). I liked the one girl, Paloma (I think her name was) was a direct ripoff of Jubilee from X-men and acted more like a human Tesla coil than anyone with superpowers. And the main girl (who could heal people) was just like Jean Grey, Isaac Hayes might as well have been Professor X (but with Hayes' Black Moses wardrobe), and the others had power like heroes on Captain Planet.The music was nothing special except in the first scene when the meteor was going down; it was more-or-less rehashed electronic music with the edge of 80's action movies (again). And the direction was like a television direction, which makes sense as it seems like a straight to video release anyways, yet it was still average with hardly any thought going on.All in all, I gave the film a 5. I check the running time about 4 times in the movie (meaning: it got boring at times), but it was a different take on these hero movies out. This seems more like a vehicle for up and coming actors who are tired of not being in films, so they made this. And it wasn't all that horrible...just average as hell.

bpete333 I basically watch anything with Lance Henriksen in it; even if the movie is bad he's always gives a high-grade performance. This movie had a really cool idea with a very poor execution. If it only had a decent script backing it up, any kind of budget, a director with some kind vision, or even half-way capable actors (Henriksen excluded of course) it would have been much more enjoyable than what we have here. It's like a low-rate X-Men with a post-apocalyptic backdrop. A everything settles man named Parish (Lance Henriksen) becomes the leader (really more like a king) of the new world. Under his rule anything he deems unholy is banned, the main atrocity being people with supernatural, or mutant, powers. Then a mutant named Rage (horribly play by Daniel Goddard) decides to stand up a bring Parish and reign crumbling down. Too bad a cool concept, even if it's not that original, doesn't make a good movie.

blue_92sho This is one of the worst movies i have ever watched. I would rather remove my eyes with a spoon then even think of watching this garbage again. The guy on the cover was not even in the movie!!!!! Was that honestly the director's cut.... I mean come on i could have made a better movie with the camera on my cell phone.I would have to say that the budget for this movie must have been $20 and a loaf of bread to feed the way over priced actors and actresses, who were horrible i must add..... but i will have to say that it is better than watching open water, or Dracula 3000 which isn't very hard to beat... whoever made this movie should never be allowed to produce or direct a movie like this!

dotcore I sure am glad I work at Blockbuster, If I didn't I wouldn't ever get to see gems like "Dream Warrior". A giant piece of bad CG animation made to look like a meteor collides with earth, causing volcanoes to erupt and lots of stock footage we have all seen on the discovery channel to appear. If that stock footage was the apocalypse, then I am really confused. Anyway, The main character, Rage (Yes, that is his name, his father is a dipshit.)was let out of his cell by an unseen figure. The viewer finds out soon enough that our hero can read minds. This is why he is being hunted. In the post-apoc-stock-footage world of "Dream Warrior" that meteor caused humans to evolve.Anyone that has evolved is considered "impure" and is called a freak. Also, they are pale imitations of the X-men. Seeing how Rage's only power is to read minds. All the other freaks get cool powers.. Isaac Hayes' character, Zo, for instance, has telekenisis. So does an annoying kid who probably also had a stupid name. Speaking of stupid names, the healer freak is named... Sterling, and I believe her last name was... PADLOCK, making her name to be Sterling Padlock.For a B action movie, this was actually pretty good. (I didn't even make fun of the fight scenes) The story was interesting, even though it is sort of a rip of off the x-men, minus the super heroes. It also borrows a lot from Mad Max. "Dream Warrior" has a lot of faults. But one has to look at a movie like a high school student, B movies are like the special kids, they want to be just like the cool, popular kids, ("Dodgeball" is like that class clown that hangs out with "White Chicks")and for instance and are fun to watch when they try. ...I don't think that made any sense. I give dream warrior a 2 out of 4. a B movie that tried.
