Amazon.com: Star Wars meets A Wrinkle in Time in this adventure of an intergalactic war and one unassuming young man who holds the key to dimensional travel, the legacy of his mysterious adventurer father. Boyish Josh Charles is the lucky Luke Skywalker stand-in, a good-natured underachiever shocked out of his lovelorn moping when gorgeous guerrilla fighter Andrea Roth takes the battle to his bedroom. Rutger Hauer is the coffee-chugging freedom fighter who is roused from retirement to fill out the trio and face dimensional mob boss Stuart Wilson to settle the fate of the universe. This obviously low budget picture makes the most of limited special effects and striking settings--notably an elevator ride that turns into a free-floating mind game hanging in space and a knock-down, drag-out finale that sends our hapless hero popping up all over the universe. Hauer makes for a surprisingly charismatic mercenary turned father figure and Charles is modestly charming, once he loses the smart-ass wisecracks. Though it reaches for a scope that's beyond its means, Crossworlds is an entertaining bit of sci-fi fluff. --Sean Axmaker

Rating: - Urgh.
A bit like an episode of night rider. There's less plot here than a Xena episode, but it's fun and there are a couple of fight scenes. It looks like the writer didn't think about the premise much, since there is next to no explanation (beyond what you see in the blurb on the back of the case).
Rating: - Nice Sci-Fi Fantasy
Even though I'm more of a Sci-Fi person than Sci-Fi Fantasy, Crossworlds was a nice entertaining film that kept me going without taking a break. Even though the plot was basically about a young man trying to develop into a real man, the show had it's interesting moments filled with action. I like the movie, and I will watch it again one day.

Rating: - A bit cheesy, but not bad
Interesting movie, definitely not on the top of my list (or I'm guessing anyone else over 12), but a decent watch and it has Rutger Hauer!
Rating: - Could've been better
Could be confusing at times and definitely needed better writers. Not a movie i recommend at all. Too bad because they had a good storyline and good actors.
Rating: - Enjoyable
I bought two sci-fi movies at the same time...this one and Velocity Trap. I have to say, I enjoyed Crossworlds far more than the other.
