The Steam Engines of Oz

Even the worst zombie movie I was forced to watch had more life in it. Brain dead and simply a waste of time. There are not enough words to express how bad this dribble is.

As mentioned in other reviews, amateurish animation, but not so nearly amateurish as the script. The saving grace of the film was making the point "War is not the solution to our problems". Beyond that the concept was bland, characters cliche, and voice acting only as good as the script allowed. It's not a "bad" movie, just not good enough to call tolerable. Not even good as a children's film, as much of the morality-play aspect will be beyond their understanding. The ending (just after the credits start to roll) is incomprehensible and without point.

Basically, this is an unbelievable tale that really seems to make no point other than "Don't be the bad guy". Yeah, we get that much. How about the point, "If you're going to make a movie, make a good one"?

Watching this abomination with my daughter tonight and it made me feel so angry. I can't believe that this came out only a couple of years ago because it looked worse than toy story one, which came out more than 20 years ago. Unbelievably boring plot and terrible script and dialogue. This is not so much a movie as it is a torture device. Ron Perlman being involved is the icing on the cake, he'll clearly lend his voice for anything, this was probably the worst thing I've ever watched.

The animation is clunky, ugly, and looks at least 20 years older than its 2018 release date. But that's not the worst thing about this steaming (?punking) pile of garbage. It has a ridiculous plot riddled with non sequiturs, awkward and unnatural dialogue, a cheesy soundtrack that sounds at times acoustically unbalanced, and one of the worst attempts at a British accent ever recorded. We watched it as a family and really wanted to give it a chance, but by the end we were all laughing and shooting at the TV about how awful it was.

At least it brought us together! United in shock and revulsion that this film was ever given the green light.

I watched all O'Reilly's animations and its like he go from better to worse, and I mean MUCH worse. Pixies was not bad looking easy pass for DTV title, than was Howard Lovecraft two movies... well... I think its like fan-made, also very obscure material so I was like ooookay. But now THIS. Its OZ for god sake! Can you even try? Why bother with Shatner and Perlman, when my eyes actually bleed from animation. And visuals concept... why Tin Man looks like gorilla? And why... WHY some lions like furries, and some - not. Do the Brave Lion have sex with humans? And yes backgrounds... like in Howard Lovecraft its just desert. I know 3D models cost money, but... its like 2018 now, not 2004. Setting was interesting, though. Idiea of stempunk in Oz is good.
