Omega Doom
THE STORY: When I first started this site I used to just watch the movie, take some notes and do the page...but I've noticed that certain names of actors and directors come up several times and I've begun to check the Internet Movie Database and other resources for additional information. Thats what happened with this movie...I noticed it was written and directed by Albert Pyun...the name sounded familiar so I checked. I'm glad I did because now I can warn you, gentle reader...if you ever see a movie by this man in the video store, rent it then burn it without viewing. He sucks. He's probably responsible for the majority of crappy movies starring cyborgs and robots.
In a nutshell, Rutger Hauer is Omega Doom, a robot. He gets shot in the head on the last day of World War Three. The robots have taken over after the war and they are looking for a lost cache of weapons so they can stop the humans from coming back. Omega Doom stops them. The end. This movie was AWFUL. I could go into more detail, but I don't want to think about it. About halfway through this move I began chopping vegetables for homemade soup rather than pay full attention to it. Then when I figured holding a sharp object and having this film on at the same time was suicidal, I drank a six pack of beer to numb the pain. It didn't help. These robots act like humans, drink in a bar and the only robotic thing about them is the fake 'whirring' sound the foley artists dubbed in when they moved.
BEST LINES: "Considering we're in a nuclear winter I'd say chances are pretty good."- Omega Doom when asked if he thinks it'll snow.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:
1.) The robots have fragmented into rival gangs. Yeah, right.
2.) Oh, Sweet Jesus, this movie sucks ass!
3.) I can't take it anymore...this movie is awful...why can't the robots MAKE weapons? Why do they keep showing these close ups of Rutger Hauer? Why would robots go to a bar? Why do they need to drink? Why do Robots need weapons to defend themselves from human beings? What do they do all day? Just hang out in these burnt out buildings? Who in the name of decency funded this travesty!!!
4.) I'm not even sure what kind of weapon the robots are using...thats how bad this movie is....even the action scenes are slow, boring and don't make any sense. I think I'm going to throw up, this movie is so fantastically bad. I have lost ANY respect I may have had for Rutger Hauer.
5.) CURSE YOUR BLACK HEART, ALBERT PYUN!
NUDITY AND SEX: none.
HUH?: Huh? Thats what you'll say if you dare watch this pitiful movie. It should never have been made. I'm convinced that Rutger Hauer and Shannon Whirry were in this [unwrite]fest because of a contractual obligation, a free trip to eastern europe (where it was filmed) or Pyun was holding members of their families hostage.
THE TALLY: Albert Pyun has officially made my [unwrite] list. I think he must have sold his soul to the devil in order to produce really crappy movies and spread evil throughout the world. Do not rent this movie. Its worse than I could even possibly describe here.
