Nemesis III: Prey Harder

I really wanted to like this film. The second film in the series had this silly, drive in movie feel to it that was fun (of course, I was also drunk). I watched this film with the highest expectation of a similar experience of high cinematic hilarity, a-la- Mystery Science Theater 3000. I WAS WRONG!!!!! This movie is a god awful waste of film, and I LIKED THE SECOND ONE!!!! From the effeminate villain with the David Bowie fright wig, to the tacky, obnoxious female villains with laughs that could strip the paint off a garage door, this whole thing was just a painful mess. I actually felt bad for Sue Price, because the material was beneath an actress of her stature (that pretty much says it all). An awful, awful film (that's not a recommendation).

I got this thing off the sci-fi shelf because I remembered seeing the first of the series when I was a kid. I'd rented the second one and it was a decent "B" sci-fi. This one was out right obnoxious. The "special" effects on the cars looked like something my 4 year old cousin could have done. The two assistant female cyborgs were so terrible that I literally cringed every time they came on the screen. The plot left so much to be desired that it made me sick. I don't know what anyone was thinking when they agreed to be a part of this movie but I'm sure that they'd have done better to have left it at 2 movies. The movies in this series are going from good to decent to terrible. I only hope that no terrorist groups have access to this movie as it makes an excellent torturing device.

The butch lesbian continues to run around for no apparent reason battling cyborgs to save the future or some $#!+ like it. Nemesis 3 isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. I agree that the flashback scenarios are irritating and the twin cyborgs are annoying as hell but this is still relatively decent straight to video action movie. The action sequences are pretty good with a lot of explosions, some of the cyberpunk elements are actually fairly good and Sue Price running around in her 3 foot tall muscular frame is, uuuuuh, sexy I guess if you like that feminine manly crap. Very very very very far from the best movie ever made but it's not too terrible. I've seen a lot worse I guess.

While the law of diminishing returns can be rigidly applied to, Albert Pyun's kinetic Cyberpunk tetralogy 'Nemesis', the fitfully fabulous franchise's conspicuously declining production values, and overreliance on flashbacks to pad out the increasingly bizarre narrative proves irksome, and yet, even with all its obvious recycling 'Nemesis 3 : Time Lapse', contains enough unrestrained lunacy to appease more forgiving 'Nemesis' aficionados. Taken as a standalone work, this admittedly patchy, frequently silly Sci-fi shenanigans may seem inconsequential, more seasoned schlock seekers will no doubt revel in its myriad eccentricities!

The film's strengths reside in the welcome return of dread locked, Sue Price as the dynamic, DNA-mutated Amazon, Alex Rain, undertaking a quest to locate her equally ripped warrior siblings she was latterly unaware of! Girding her magnificent loins, our hypertrophically muscled heroine must grimly battle her way across war-ravaged Africa, these bloody travails cementing the legend of her fearsome fighting prowess! Alex's main obstacles being dastardly droid, Farnsworth 2 (Tim Thomerson) and the two sinuously sleek, garishly garbed cyber assassins, Lock (Sharon Bruneau) & Ditko (Debbie Mugli), their outrageously camp performances providing an additionally tweaked weirdness to psychotronic shoot 'em up 'Nemesis 3 : Time lapse'.

It's highly unlikely that great numbers of Sci-Fight fans will go on to watch the 4th Nemesis instalment after witnessing this frequently misfiring oddity, but I must profess to having a genuine affection for this absurd, boisterously bullet-shredded, cyber Kooky action tetralogy! The juicily jacked, Sue Price is one of the most entertaining, physically adept, serially Cyborg retiring B-Movie heroines, and even with all its strident silliness 'Nemesis 3 : Time lapse' remains a frantically fun, albeit terminally trashy Sci-fantasy freakshow from beloved B-Movie maestro, Albert Pyun!

Perhaps the worst of the "Nemesis" films (and that says A LOT!), this mess features so many flashbacks to part 2 that you might as well say that you've seen them both, even if you've only endured this entry. Making matters worse are two wisecracking cyborgs who have absolutely no entertainment value. In other words, they are a perfect fit for this endlessly boring cinematic mistake.
