For the Cause (2000)

So much average

Don't listen to the negative reviews

best movie i've ever seen.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This was utterly ridiculous.Dean Cain is OK, but most of his movies suck.This movie was purchased in a bundle of sci-fi and horror "gems" at the grocery store, or somewhere.It looks like a 90s video game and I can't believe anyone even signed on for this project.Two teams of dilberts fight over something, I don't even remember what, and some magical witches with lame CGI help or harm them-- again, it was so bad that you can only watch this film once, and you need to be extremely high or intoxicated to get through even one viewing.It was literally worse than a Saturday cartoon or a daytime soap. The only redeeming values were laughter and some laser fights or something.Utterly stupid, and the biggest waste of film since Pauly Shore, in the vein of the remake of Ghostbusters, but even sillier. I can't even fathom who comes up with these scripts or the money to pay the actors and fund these fecal matter bore fests.

If you are as big a fan of B movies as I am, then you must see this movie. The only think that is keeping this from being any better a B movie is the lack of Eric Roberts, but the hokey effects and plot just about make up for it.Also, if you ever plan on making great movies, then you must see this movie.There are a lot of movies that are seamless and clean, and you can learn from those - like Seven Samurai or, generally the Lord of the Rings (with the exception of a few CGI problems), but this movie will lend excellent examples of how NOT to do so many things - yet, in many respects, the film comes so close to being good without ever actually coming close to being good. It is this feature that provides so many great illustrations of the differences between almost good and good movies.This will never be a cult classic because it is not well done enough for that, but it is a "must see" for B movie lovers and movie makers.

I rented this movie because it looked nice, nice cover, and some nice screen shots at the back cover. But the cover alone gives you a very wrong impression of the movie. It begins promising when you hear of the war that goes on for years and how the war devastates the people you hope to see some huge army that fights the final battle for survival. but non of that is in this movie. You can see a real nice futuristic fighter plane on the back-cover. Sadly its just for 3 sec in the movie. And the whole deal of those "witches" fighting against some computer animation is just strange and sometimes confusing.

I really tried hard to like this movie, but most of it's elements just don't work. The acting is merely good enough, so is the music. Some of the CGI effects look good, some even great, but there aren't enough of them to hide the low budget. Some sets, like the inside of the glass wall, reminded me of old Star Trek episodes - TOS, that is. What's left is an intriguing scenario, ripped apart by the most disappointing feature: the plot. It starts well, descents into a slow and boring trip and even manages to screw up the showdown. "For the Cause" (aka Warhammer) is more like stretched version of a weak Outer Limits episode. Too bad Tim and David Douglas failed in bringing their obvious passion for film making into the movie.
