The film explores the idea of what happens to children, when they’re put to war. After all, one major plot point from the original series that was always glossed over was that these were high school students recruited to fight in an intergalactic war. When you think about it, that can be an extremely dark, twisted place to go, and Power/Rangers goes there. 

While some of you may see this and hope that what happened to Tachaoroen’s Mortal Kombat film happens, where the film was actually a pitch to the studio and eventually lead to a web series, Shankar has made it very clear that this is not, I repeat, not a pitch. So go ahead and enjoy this as a standalone experience made just for fun. As Shankar puts it, just a little fan-made “bootleg” movie he made with his best friend.

With that said, after this would, do you wish it did lead to something? Personally, I’m surprised that they didn’t get Jason David Frank involved- since he’s been campaigning for a gritty Green Ranger movie since forever. I was disappointed not to see JDF, but I enjoyed this nonetheless. Talk amongst yourselves. What’d you think?
