Remember that photo of her in a power rangers costume and those weird looking props that some thought was for the big budget PR movie. Turns out it was for a fan film which is basically Power Rangers but violent as all balls. I just watched it before posting this thread, and I'm not sure how to feel about it...it was cool in some respects but urgh there are moments that were just too awkward to watch.

That was... interesting. I mean, the idea of a super gritty R-rated power rangers movie is okay, but... eh, I don't think it works as well as it could have.

So according to this article the whole thing of missing the point was done on purpose.

This is absolute trash. I'm sorry but it is. Fan films as a concept are something I really don't get to be honest. But this? Even if it's satire or parody of "grimdark" as people are purporting it to be? It's just awful.

Eh, reading that article made my opinion of it worse still. It seems more like they just wanted to make some absurd dark and gritty movie (playing into the cliché despite trying to sound like they're being original) and wanted to seem smart so they added the barest elements of Power Rangers. It's a deconstruction with none of the redeeming elements.
A dark version of PR could be done but I personally think it would have to be a reconstruction. The original is so idealistic that one isn't really adapting it if you just drain all the colour out and make everyone betray each other constantly. On the good side, it was fairly well made. While I disagree with the aim, the lighting did make the suits look less happy and bright while keeping the colours and the little opening segment had good effects. The fight choreography and machine effects were good too, although they felt out of place. |

I thought the short film was amazing. I love power rangers and super sentai but I'm glad they did something completely different. I would be down to watch a feature length film of this.

This was fun, not as Power Rangers. But as a random action quick film. Do I want this is the actual movie, or future seasons? Oh hell no.

I gotta agree with Den-O here. I thought it sucked. It was just generic and had nothing to do with Power Rangers other than names. This feels more like it should have been a plot to either Mortal Kombat or a Syfy channel TV show, not Power Rangers.

Why is it that every single Power Rangers fanfilm producer thinks Power Rangers needs to be grim dark? |

Even if this thing is parody or satire of the dark film reboot idea, it's utterly pointless. It isn't even enjoyable as an examination & deconstruction of that sub genre. It's just pandering violence and swear words for the fun of it.
