- Synopsis:
Set in the future in a time of interplanetary colonisation, Sy (Kellan Lutz), escapes a brutal prison where mysterious experiments have been taking place under the watch of a savage warden (Temuera Morrison). After orchestrating an escape, Sy meets Kane (Daniel MacPherson), a lieutenant working for an off-world military contractor - EXOR, who have set in motion a plan to wipe out all life from the face of the planet in an attempt to cover up their crimes - when their terrifying "experiments" escape. Now, the unlikely pair must work together to rescue Kane's young daughter and reach safety before it's too late. Origin Wars is a brand new science-fiction adventure set in a fantastically realised, and wholly original, universe. - Actors:

Ok ,but . - Origin Wars review by SB
It’s a good story , interesting if you like SiFi kinda thing. The main actors are ok but most of the supporting actors are mid cast badly directed and hmmm unbelievable. We got halfway through and swapped films. Also, for some reason the hero’s haircut annoyed me. You know when you have a thing to go to and get your haircut for it, it was like that ! Just been cut. Trivial I know but there you go.

Dull, generic science fiction - Origin Wars review by Sandy
This movie pretty much recycles every science fiction plot under the sun, and then runs out of steam or cash at the end leaving the viewer with a few fragmentary clues about what happened to some characters that you don't really care about anyway.
There's some interesting effects, and the story does get off to a good start - but after the first third, it just loses its way and becomes a fairly hackneyed cliché.
Yes, I can see some kid who hasn't seen a lot of science fiction enjoying this, but to seasoned veterans this does not bring anything new to the pot.

Origin ? Wars ? ? - Origin Wars review by porky
Strange Prison Planet Story, not at all bad except for the Creature Effects .
Thankfully NOT Hideous CGI ,but something rather akin to Jim Hensons Dark Crystal Baddies.
Prisoners being Experimented on to make the Ultimate Killing Machine to clear New Planets of Resident Lifeforms leaving them Barren for Human Colonization........That Ultimate Killer being a Skeksis type Hand Puppet Creature apparently ? who knew ?
Other than this, its not a bad Sci-fi movie. all other effects ,Ships,Space stations etc...were rather high end and the acting not at all bad .
