Nemesis 5: The New Model

The New Model is the 10th movie in the Cyborg/Nemesis franchise which started all the way back in 1989 with Jean Claude Van-Damme's Cyborg. 21 years after the last movie from the series was made (Nemesis 4 1996) it returns with this "delight".

You see the movies have never been been good, they've simply ranged from bad to very bad but this is certainly a new low.

Sue Price returns yet again as Alex though only briefly. I can only assume she returned for the nostalgia or must have been desperate for money.

You see here is the issue, though all the Cyborg/Nemesis movies were bad they at least looked the b-movie part whereas this is something else altogether. The New Model is a hyper low budget independent movie which truth be told I'm absolutely stunned at the quality of (Or lack thereof). Instead of professional b-movie, this is VHS camcorder, toy laser guns and dreadful Adobe Aftereffects sfx.

No really, I can't stress enough how bad it looks. It's one stage up from being done on someones phone, the acting is some of the worst I've seen in years, the sfx are cringe inducing and the whole thing is really embarrassing.

Whatever my opinions of the franchise it really didn't deserve this. Considering they started in the 80's and this was released in 2017 it raises all kind of questions why this is the ugliest and cheapest of them all.

Incredibly there is another one in production, this is a franchise that died in the 90's but nobody had the heart to tell it.

The Good:

Absolutely nothing

The Bad:

Beyond ugly

Dreadful CGI

Cringe inducing acting

The fight sequences are some of the worst ever put to film

Awful filler scenes

Stock screams

I came into this thinking it would be something interesting to watch. I was so wrong. I managed to skip through the long opening credits then had enough at the 7 minute point. I have seen some doozies that are crap, and this is yet another masterpiece of crap to add to the pile.

Just watch this title. Wondering that even a English movie can be idiot like Bollywood Z grade worst movie ! I have nothing to write about the movie, but I suggest others not to watch at all ! No proper story, not like a science fiction, no suspense, no thrill. I did not understand till the end what is going on and how it will end. Thanks God for short of length of the movie. It is only relief for me. Firstly I had stopped seeing after 15-20 minutes, I could not dare to go further, but then keep till end in another section to finish at least.

Never follow the road here.

Just imagine as a bunch of kids you watched Nemesis 1 or 2 and think that you want to be like that and as a 8 year old you pretend to be in such a movie. As props you use plastic toy laser guns and such. And you just play around.

Well, that is this movie! No effort was put in this and to sell this they named it Nemesis 5 to pretend it has something to do with the original movie.

This is just slightly better then Birdemic but only just. Avoid at all cost!

After two plus decades without a Nemesis movie we finally got one here. And it's about time! Thank God because I was planning on killing myself if another one didn't come to fruition. Nemesis 5 has everything: ugly actors, CGI so bad even a blind man can perceive it, horrible acting, cheesy EBM soundtrack, abysmal action sequences, excruciatingly slow pacing and meaningless fillers and, the cherry on top, one of the worst anticlimactic endings of all time. And, of course, it has a political message involving communism battling fascism which is mentally deficient. Anyways, I can't keep up the charade. This movie sucked and is nowhere near as good as the first three Nemesis movies but I will say this; it was better than Nemesis 4. So there's a plus. You might get a chuckle out of this one but this is the Hindenburg times infinity. For maniacal and desperate completists at the very best.
