Bradley Gibson Film Threat After 90 minutes trying to determine why this film exists, I've got nothing. I took a cheap CGI plasma rifle bullet for you, dear viewer. Learn from my mistake. Rated: 5/10 Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files There's no reason to watch this in a world where we've already got The Predator and its various sequels and reboots including the 2018 update.

Audience Member I'm all for crappy movies once in a while, but this one literally put me to sleep multiple times at one sitting! There *may* have been a reference about saving the Earth in the beginning of the movie, but after five minutes that is completely lost in the lack of dialogue or the ultra extreme crap dialogue. Hell, somehow the ship catches on fire, somehow everyone on it gets onto a planet, for some reason none of them seem to like each other, blah blah blah...it's the same thing over and over afterward. shitty 'Predator'-like creature that can't be even budged by a strong man punching it, but later can have a 100 pound skinny girl knock it over by kicking it. There's way too much more to tell about this movie to explain why it's the worst PoS I've ever watched in my 57 years on the planet. This movie should have been thrown into a fire by the editor or cutter before it ever reached the public. It's a shame there's no 'negative' starts I can give it. This movie is definitely **NOT** one of those crappy ones that's actually not too awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If anyone offers you a chance to watch The Dawnseeker... avoid like the plague. An attempt at Predator type film but special effects are as bad as early 50s horror films. Acting is awful and the plot is so bad they seemed to have got one idea then moved to 12 others before trying to tie them back to the first and failing. They even managed to fail to keep continuity in line... for example: one scene guy after getting hit to the floor stands up with a lit cigar in his mouth. Next scene he lights said cigar whilst trying to look moody... I would give this one star if I was generous for their effort in making the film but I'm that pissed off at how bad the film was I can't find any humanity in me to do so; so as rotten tomatoes demand's at least half of one that shall be my grade. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Please turn away now there is no reason you should watch this, not even to laugh at how bad it is. Tell tell signs of how bad this movie was put together are even shown in the cover art , it has been alter to remove the blatant photoshopping of images from other well know sci media Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It looked so good on the cover. Really really bad acting. The intro fight scene was abhorrent. Waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst movies,i have seen,watched because it had a high score on IMDB so clearly something Dodgy was happening. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is going to be a SYFY classic. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
