Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Star Wars meets A Wrinkle in Time in this adventure of an intergalactic war where one unassuming young man holds the key to dimensional travel and the legacy of his mysterious adventurer father. Boyish Josh Charles is the lucky Luke Skywalker stand-in, a good-natured underachiever shocked out of his lovelorn moping when gorgeous guerrilla fighter Andrea Roth takes the battle to his bedroom. Rutger Hauer is the coffee-chugging freedom fighter who is roused from retirement to fill out the trio and face dimensional mob boss Stuart Wilson.

This obviously low budget picture makes the most of limited special effects and striking settings--notably an elevator ride that turns into a free-floating mind game hanging in space and a knock-down, drag-out finale that sends our hapless hero popping up all over the universe. Hauer makes for a surprisingly charismatic mercenary turned father figure and Charles is modestly charming, once he loses the smart-ass wisecracks. Though it reaches for a scope that's beyond its means, Crossworlds is an entertaining bit of sci-fi fluff. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com



Synopsis

Joe Talbot wears a crystal that can open the portals to other dimensions; and whoever wears it holds the key to incredible power. He hurtles from one dimension to another, determined to keep the crystal away from the hands of a warlord who intends destroying the boundaries dividing these dimensions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two inches short of fantastic, 31 Dec 2004
This review is from: Crossworlds [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
I love this movie.
I love the ideas it plays with, and I love how it's executed. Even though it's kinda low budget, it manages to bring across an air of mystery that is infectious.
I guess I've just always enjoyed stories that involve hidden worlds; things unseen by ordinary people. This film does multiple dimensions in style.
I think the moment I fell in love with it (as opposed to just enjoying it) was the scene where the protagonist goes to visit a member of the underground. It's at a point in the film where he's finally worked out that this is all very real and that he can't just walk up to the front door and expect to enter Rutger Hauer's secret hiding place. No. To get there, you have to take a left through the garden and walk between two innocuous trees. THEN open the front door, and you're there. Failure to follow this exact path means you open the door into some fat guy's apartment instead of the underground lair. Classic.
Ultimately, this movie is let down by the fact that in the final climax, good triumphs over evil by being just a bit more violent. But by the time you reach that point, you don't really mind. I reccommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heros, villains and special effects, 7 April 2001
By A Customer
This is a story about a guy waking up to the fact he is destined to be a hero. I like it, the central characters are real enough and the special effects are great fun. The bad guy is bad, the good girl is pretty, the hero is clueless and the mentor is mysterious. What more could you ask for? The parts where they crossworlds- where walking between trees or turning when the winds blow takes you into a whole other reality- is my favourite way of stepping into the unknown. You could do this stuff a thousand times a day and no one would notice. Most excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unstated gem - good but not great, 11 April 2001
By A Customer
At long last this little tinker has been released, with the actors managing to add sacrasm into what would of otherwise been your bog-standard sci-fi flick, makes for an entertaining hour and a half. It's a movie you'll want to watch again, the kind of movie you'd buy just to pull out once in a while. In particular, the acting performances and the abstract way of looking at things made this movie.
