In the industrial wasteland just outside of Los Angeles, circa 2027, there's a covert war raging between the cyborgs and the humans. "86.5% is still human," insists superagent Alex (Jean-Claude Van Damme wannabe Olivier Gruner, complete with kickboxing credentials and thick Euro-warble), but as the cyborg conspiracy builds around him he discovers that humanity is more than simply a matter of flesh and blood. Borrowing elements from <I>Blade Runner</I>, <I>The Terminator</I>, <I>Escape from New York</I>, and <I>The Road Warrior</I>, and looking ahead to digital "data couriers" of <I>Johnny Mnemonic</I>, director Albert Pyun turns the sci-fi spy story into an engine for a visceral thrill ride of sleekly designed action sequences driven by a dancing camera and a breakneck editing rhythm. It's a glorious triumph of style over substance, the vigorous pace leaving the story far behind and nimble set pieces belying a tiny budget with ambitious action choreography and impressive displays of property damage. Apart from a few clumsy special effects at the conclusion and the requisite collection of scene-chewing performances, <I>Nemesis</I> is a thoroughly entertaining piece of sci-fi trash, a classic example of cinematic energy overcoming the obstacles of plot. <I>--Sean Axmaker</I>
Viewer Reviews
This movie started off great until they ran out of money! The First 30 minutes was off the chain! I don't know what happened next? I think some off their financial backers did not come thru with the cash; or they spent all the money in the first hour!
