RetroGRADE Review

I've decided to post my review of RetroGRADE directly onto my blog. Sorry of the other posts were getting annoying, I just kinda get paid now for reviews on there. Well here's my review.

RetroGrade is a Science Fiction movie about Two time travelers with opposing views are sent back to the present aboard a research ship in the Antarctic to prevent a global biological disaster from occurring. (IMDB.com)

The Sci-Fi Channel called, they want their crappy original movie back. As you see from my first statement I felt as if RetroGrade was a pretty bad film. No I don’t think that all Sci-Fi/Sy Fy original movies are all bad, just a majority of them for the past five to ten years or so. Well the film is about some guys in the future who are supposed to go back in time from 2204 to 2004 to prevent some scientists from finding a meteorite, by destroying it. Apparently this meteorite has some sort of bacteria in it that causes your skin to boil from the inside, and make you go bat shit insane.

I’m sorry but the plot isn’t very good in my opinion, it really does feel like a Sci-Fi original movie plot. On top of that some of the editing was a little choppy, with some minor continuity errors. Also a lot of the special effects weren’t very good at all, and the last nails in the coffin were that a lot of the acting, and the choreographed fights weren’t very good.

Over all I give RetroGrade a 3 out of 10. it does get some bonus points for having Dolph Lungren, and having a Star Trek pinball machine in the background of the scene with the infected pot-head going insane. The only reason why you’d want to see this movie, is if you like Dolph Lungren a lot. it’s sad when you pay $4 for a movie and you still want your money back.
