Cybernator

Hey...don't buy this film...don't watch it...try to keep away of it...IT'S AWFUL...I haven't seen any worse movie before. You can see that it's always the same room...that the special effects are bought at a supermarket and so on....

There is hardly a chance to make a worse film than this one

Cybernator is a terrible terrible movie. If you can laugh at B movie incompetence, then this will be right up your alley!

The movie is packed with goofs a-plenty: the weird background noises when the actors are talking; the moment in the showdown when the villain pauses, checks his mic, then carries on with the scene; the hilariously dorky cyborgs (one of whom has a high-tech cyber-chin); the cartoonish rubber-faced acting from our "hunky" male lead; the list goes on. The film's main cyborg, Captain Hair, has a laughable, scream-filled death scene reminiscent of Bela Lugosi getting killed by a fake, immobile octopus in Bride Of The Monster.

Thanks to the hammy actors and schlocky visuals, this film doesn't get boring. Despite having some obvious padding scenes, it stays entertaining throughout, which is a feat for a B-movie. The final showdown has a lot of talking, but William Smith as the smug villain is so entertaining, and both characters are so totally bumbling that even this scene is a hoot. (At one point, the villain is strangling the life out of the hero... then just quits and starts to wander away while still talking to him, as if he just got bored with the strangling and forgot to keep it up.)

Fans of Invader Zim might recognize Captain Hair from his little cameo in that cartoon. ("What I'm trying to say, sirrrrr...") If the creators of Zim enjoyed this movie, that's quite an endorsement if you ask me!

Right from the opening credits, one knows that CYBERNATOR simply must be seen!

Once again, those dastardly cyborgs are up to no good. Picture a bald guy with aquarium airline tubing coming out of his head! Genius! Or, low-rent Borg mixed with pitifully-realized HELLRAISER demons! Astonishing! These synthetic humanoids kill a politician and laugh robotically.

Next, we're off to a night spot / strip club, where we're introduced to LA police officer, Brent McCord (Lonnie Schuyler), who's in love with a stripper named Blue (Christina Peralta).

Oh no!

Eeevil cyborgs have arrived! Either that, or Mr. And Mrs. Terminator are in town. This occurs just as McCord proves his love for Blue by giving her a dollar bill with his teeth! Blue's working her way through school, don'tcha know. Poorly choreographed mayhem erupts, and another politician bites the dust. The dullness of the ensuing shootout is difficult to describe. Of course, this all has to do with a vast, government conspiracy, which is also dull.

Everything blunders along. Alleged "actors" move around and spout "dialogue" that makes us wonder if they're all artificial lifeforms! With no real rhyme or reason to any of it, this movie only exists to cause great pain.

EXTRA POINTS FOR: #1- The botched, horribly shot, eternal love scene that will cause you to laugh until your guts burn! #2- The "big twist" that actually makes things less suspenseful! #3- The belly dancer scene! Oh! Those finger cymbals! #4- The hysterically tedious, karate-filled non-finale that will put you straight into REM sleep!...

Just plain bad. Horrible acting, ridiculous special effects and a simplistic plot built around a single twist, without any of the appealing quirks of a good bad movie. If you have 85 minutes to kill, and want to make those minutes suffer, this is the movie for you!

"Cybernator" is great fun, if you don't take this all to earnest. It's a trashy movie with cheap special effects but it is a must for fans of William Smith. He has just three appearances als Colonel Peck but they are really worth to watch.
