Long delayed Red Sonja movie being released in August.

[Rich Watson]

Hope everybody booked their tickets because it's entire cinema release turns out to be just tomorrow, one screening in a handful of locations.

I assume when the contracts were signed years ago they forgot to specify what counted as a theatrical release.

And what is the projected date for streaming? Is it going to be on Prime or Netflix?

 

[Enterprise is Great]

I’ll watch it on streaming as long as I don’t have to pay extra for it. I did like Solomon Kane but this looks awful.

Regardless of the movie's quality, Sonja's story would need to be changed or treated much more seriously if the character were to become a movie IP.

Out of respect for common decency, I won't link to it directly, but The Critical Drinker's review is up, and, while hardly enthusiastic, it's more bemused and gentler than one might expect. He gives Lutz props for an effortful performance, but says the movie lacks the campy fun of a typical Xena episode.

It's like something SyFy would have made.

Well, I didn't hate it, and actually had fun here and there. The lead actress is just not very engaging, and certainly doesn't have Sonya's legendary physique, but she's definitely fit and athletic. The plot is fairly sword-and-sorcery standard. I didn't find myself fidgeting or wanting to turn it off. Good for a weekend afternoon (or evening) popcorn flick.

Mrs. Umpire and I are watching it and picking apart all the things wrong with it. She said she's glad we didn't pay to see it. It's on the Kanopy channel. Lots of movies there. All you need to do is sign up with your library card number.

1) They needed an actress with more charisma
2) The actress who was cast was not the right build for RS
3) Standard S&S plot

I can turn my mind off for a movie with a formulaic plot if it's acted correctly for the theme (comedy-action-drama), but this was dull. The only really fun part was when RS freed the cyclops. Do a Xena: Warrior Princess binge instead, it's time better spent.

At some point I turned it off because I was getting sleepy. That was two weeks ago and I still haven't finished it.

They allow 18 movies a month IIRC
