First off, I just want to say, different people will see this differently. For me I perceive it as a reimagined version of the mmpr. Instead of an alien, the ranger are are given their powers by the government to fight Rita. In the end, it's the machine empire that defeats them.( It's never mentioned if Rita had anything to do with the machines). After the defeat, the government surrenders to the machine empire, and the rangers lose their powers. They now have to go on with a normal, Non-Ninja life. How ever, some of the former rangers start to die. The black ranger was given his powers back and works as a contacter for the machines to crush out any resistance( North Korea) he's shot in the head by an unknown killer. Jason(red) is rated out to the empire and is killed right next to Kimberley ( pink). That's where the movie starts off. Kimberly talking to Billy(Blue), who sold out to the machine s) Kimberly tells him everything she knows. But Billy wants to know where Tommy Oliver( Green) is she says she hasn't seen him since Trini's ( yellow) funeral after the surrender. Billy says he knew that's all she would know, and that Kimberley is the bait. The bam, lights out and Tommy appears. The two sword fight, and Billy gains the upper hand due to having a mechanic leg. Right before he kills Tommy, Kimberley shoots Billy in the head. Tommy jumps up and ask Kimberley who she is. She says Kimberley, and Tommy replies that Kimberley died in his arms during the battle and defeat against the machine empire. Kimberly then reveals her self to have been Rita all along, and Tommy attacks her. The End!

Power/Rangers Starring: Katee Sackhoff, James Van Der Beek, Russ Bain, Will Yun Lee, Gichi Gamba, Yves Bright, Stevin Knight, Tony "Madness" Gomez, Matt D'Elia, Bree Olsen, Amia Miley, Carla Perez, Camilla Lim, Tony Ketcham, Adrian Ramon, Joshua Lou Friedman, and Steffanie Melanga Directed By: Joseph Kahn Review This is the best short film I have ever seen! I was never a big fan of power rangers, I never watched it as a kid and know it just looks corny. But I'm going to try out that corn after seeing this amazing short. I was hooked by the opening were you see the rangers fighting in some intergalactic war with two giant robots and guns. It was fracking awesome and the effects looked amazing. Its apparently about some villain who is interrogating Kimberly who is the pink Ranger and his organization has killed all the rangers one by one and he wants to know where Tommy is. But their is this twist. that's pretty cool. I give this short Power Rangers film a four out of five.

Before I start writing down this review I have to be honest from the currently fifteen series of this Franchise I have watched from start to finish the seven of them and if you include the original second season eight, so I have some knowledge for the source material. Any way this flick is one of the most famous and praised fan-films of all time and having watch it for a third time I can't disagree.For starters this is made by Adi Shankar, the dude that made fan-films a respectable type of entertainment and I definitely can see why for the film rocks. In this flick we see a darker re-imaging of the original team of the Power Rangers in which the team no all grown up the war has ended and every member has taken his or her separate way in the dystonia setting of the film.The actors do a fantastic job bring this iconic characters to life and as for the action scenes are expertly directed with stunts that many feature film would be shamed of and many bloody deaths.The one quote that summaries the whole enterprise is for James Van Der Beek, who portraits Rocky, "When two empires declare war neither side is innocent". Wow I never though that in product with Power Rangers in its title would have such as statement!If you are a fan of the series then go watch it and let's hope that the feature film ,which will come out in 2017 be as entertain as this one, though if it is less gory maybe deeded.

I would not call myself a fan of the "Power Rangers", but I saw an episode here and there back when they were on television and fairly famous. So I was curious what this 13-minute movie by Joseph Kahn would look like. I was pretty much disappointed.. This is an action movie with some science-fiction references, but there are no Power Rangers in it. And James Van Der Beek as a badass character? I am not sure. He gave it his best, but it was obvious he was just copying other performances and doe snot have the grit for the character in my opinion. The only other famous cast member is Katee Sackhoff. There is a major twist around her character in the end, but it cannot make up for the not really entertaining 10 minutes before it. Joseph Kahn is one of the most lauded music video directors right now, so maybe this short film is part of his transition to "real" movies. We shall see. "Power/Rangers" sadly is not worth watching.
