I love this movie so much

An unexpected masterpiece

Absolutely brilliant

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I've always tried to watch all the films Albert Pyun has done, ever since I watched "Mean Guns". His way of directing is weird, his usage of special effects generally is bad, but I can't say I do not enjoy his films. Unfortunately, American straight-to-video releases of this kind seldom make it to my country, and cable TV every once in a while blesses me with them.Like "Adrenalin", "Omega Doom" is another of his apocalyptical future films, and like "Cyborg", there are cyborgs involved (redundant I've been called). The title character is a human-robot hybrid who arrives at a place where he finds two different kinds of robots who would normally be "killing" each other. Apparently, they are looking for guns for when "the humans come to destroy them", so they are in a sort of truce. Of course, and because otherwise it would not be interesting, OD (a.k.a. Guardian Angel) soon makes the two groups (which are composed of 3 members each) angry with him.The main problem with this film is that, albeit similar to "Cyborg", it lacks action. While Jean Claude Van Damme surely provides that, Rutger Hauer gives more acting, and keeps you all the film waiting for him to use a sword he carries. THere are a couple of badly-made short-lived western-like fights, yet I confess the final fight was better than expected.As for the performances, Rutger is Rutger. One will always like him. The bar woman is fairly decently played. As for the cyborgs, they were somewhat, if a bit exaggerated, believable. Tina Cotè playing BlackHeart looks so sensual, and her look will remind you of "The Matrix"'s Trinity, but not only this movie is older, Tina looks better!Concluding, this is a futuristic film. It lacks the depth of "Nirvana", the effects of "The Matrix", or the action of "Equilibrium". But if you were looking for any of these, you would not rent an Albert Pyun's film, would you?

When I mean special effects from hell, I don't mean they suck. Even worse they arn't finished or haphazardly done. In one scene... Shannon whirry lay um... dying (in robot terms) and green screen material is clearly showing. And our dear HEAD's real neck is poorly erased. Still, the story is sound. The acting by the important characters are surprisingly well done. As the backside to Blind Fury. I couldn't tell which is worse. bad acting , good story on blind fury or good acting, bad effects on the other.The unfinished look of the film will scare most film nuts away. But having a certain bias towards Rutger, I think giving it a 5/10 is pretty darn good. Certainly better than Battlefield Earth. In that case, bad acting bad story, fantastic special effects. :P5/10Quality: 2/10 Entertainment: 8/10 Replayable: 7/10

I caught this on the Action Channel today. The only reason I did is because Rutger Hauer is in it.Basically, it's another stereotypical Western set in the future.I have to say that for a low-budget movie that had no plot, script, special effects, or a real soundstage for a set, it was pretty bad. Omega Doom walks into a broken down Epcot Center in the future. The Armageddon has come and humans are in hiding, trying to re-build the world. Said world is now populated mostly by killer androids and their drone servants.Two rival tribes of war androids are camped out and looking for a mythical cache of weapons that they can use to finally destroy the humans.By tribes, I mean that each group has only three or four members. Omega Doom convinces him that he knows where the weapons are, and separates them so he can destroy them, one by one.One tribe looks like the usual Mad Max rejects, the other consists of identical women that look like Jonette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde. One of them survives and becomes peaceful.And the movie's over. Just like that.All of the women in this film were very intriguing and looked great! They're the only thing that kept me watching the whole way through. Rutger was doing his usual good job of acting. He just wasn't doing too much talking.Watch only if you have nothing better to do.

Honestly, I only really picked this up because it came as sort of a "B-Side" to "Blind Fury," a movie I enjoyed very much when a friend of mine showed it to me several months before. I figured "What the Heck?" I wasn't losing any money by watching the B-Side of a movie I wanted to buy anyways.first things first. Don't expect heavy action or high end effects like "The Matrix." Don't expect an intricate plot like Babylon 5. And don't expect it to knock your socks off. This is a B-Movie CLEARLY made on a B-Budget. If you go in expecting it to be Shakespeare, The Matrix, Bab 5, or any other earth shattering experience, you WILL be disappointed.What should you expect? Expect rainy day TV-level sci fi flick. Expect a post-apocalyptic world that in many ways resembles the wild West. Yes, this movie has a lot of things in common with Westerns. It's hard not to pick up on the similarities from the first scene right up until the end. I don't like giving plot spoilers, so I won't get specific, but you can see it there very plainly if you watch it.All in all, it was entertaining. It's a low-budget movie to watch with friends or a cheesey flick to amuse yourself when there's nothing on TV.
