"Fort Ti" starts off well enough, with an interesting plot, which then starts to fall to pieces, with some unconvincing elements. The main female lead, Fortune Mallory, retains her glamour and an ornate hair-style despite her privations, the Rangers twice attack the French without the latter noticing their quite visible approach until the last moment, and there's some very rapid reloading of muskets off-screen during the short siege of the cave.There's also an unnecessary three-cornered romance.The version I saw, courtesy of Youtube, had some poor editing mid- film, with a couple of sudden leaps; this may have been due to whoever posted it messing around a bit.In quality, well behind other films portraying the same period that come to mind: "North West Passage", "Drums along the Mohawk" and two versions of "Last of the Mohicans". But a bit better than "Mohawk".

Fort Ticonderoga or as it was originally known Fort Carillon when the French built was the focal point of a lot of military action in both the Seven Years War and the American Revolution. In fact this film is factually wrong on the face because it was Fort Carillon and became Ticonderoga only after Lord Jeffrey Amherst took it with the help of Roger's Rangers.A film about the military action would have been far more interesting than what we got here in Fort Ti. The action scenes are fine, but the writers stuck in a rather stupid love story involving George Montgomery and two women.Montgomery has other worries though. His sister and her two children have been taken by the French to insure that her husband James Seay does a good job spying for the French. While Amherst and Rogers are taking the strategic fort, Montgomery has to affect a rescue of captives including his sister and nephews. This film could have used A treatment and a kind of colonial Longest Day plot. For a B film it was nicely photographed and the battle scenes are good.But it could have been so much better.

This is the only French & Indian War movie I've seen besides NORTHWEST PASSAGE, plus re-run some episodes of the TV series by the same name (on TNT a while back).This particular movie isn't too great. No remarkable cast. No big action scenes. George Montgomery sounds to be reading any of his longer lines from cue cards. The story is boring and unoriginal.One thing I did like -- in every battle scene characters throw knives, spears, tomahakws etc. right at the camera and the objects look to flying right at you. On the big screen or sitting next the TV this will make you jump every time.AMC has a pretty decent quality print. But I had no 3D glasses, so the movie looked normal rather than the original 3D format.

You'll have to dodge those arrows, spears and tomahawks, in this otherwise routine period piece, originaly filmed in 3D.
