Ape vs. Mecha Ape

This film... wow. Just wow. I mean everything is perfect the story is both easy to follow and masterfully in debt. The charichters the movie follows are very well written and gently likeable. The bad guys are intimidating and have very good reasons for doing what they do. Nothing in this film feels rushed or un cared for. Perfect movie much better the the god father.

If ASYLUM is trying to become the western sci-fi pinnacle, of ridiculous fantasy films, to take top place away from the Japanese studios they are wasting their time! It took Japan 30 years plus of making the likes of Godzilla films to firmly cement top position in Creature feature action sci-fi.

The main letdown of this debacle was the little screen time of any actual fight scenes between the subjects of the films title. They actually only fight twice on screen and both for very short times and, the choreography of the scenes was ludicrous. The Gatling arm mounted machine gun, that Mecha Ape uses, would have ripped Abe (the apes name) to shreds; no matter that he was 45 feet high in size.

Sharknado, for me, is the worst of the production releases from the ASYLUM studios but, this is a very, very, very close second!

There is way too much ridiculousness about this film for me to include in this review. If you really, really must see how bad it is then, you are going to have to watch it!

The 2 Ape models do look very good however. They are not up to the high standards of the latest King Kong and Godzilla special FX though.

Ape vs Mecha Ape is yet another masterpiece from the Global Asylum team. The military makes a giant killer "Mecha" Ape in order to defend against a giant REAL ape but things go wrong and the russinas (I think) hack the robo-ape and turn it against them. So, they have to release the real giant ape to fight against their own giant robot ape. This has all the standard cheesy Asylum tropes. Their visual effects have been getting better over the last few years, but it varies from shot to shot. Tom Arnold is the only "star" I recognized in this one. I give this a solid 6 stars. It is no Sharknado, but it's pretty good for a movie in this genre.

Wow. This is a masterpiece. From the incredible acting to the extraordinary cinematography, this is cinema. Another great installment in the franchise, never failing to amuse. The plot of the movie was unpredictable, jaw dropping and I must say, it was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone watching, I'm sure of it. The CGI was on point, the apes looked so real! Truly impressed with the fact that this had such a small budget. I am truly disappointed with the other reviews though, giving this cinematic marvel a 2.7/10 is unheard of. Truly disgraceful. My wife may have left me but at least I watched this benchmark for the Hollywood industry.

Seriously... Who funds garbage like this?

I just wanted to have a laugh seeing what Ape v MecaApe on Amazon prime would bring, oh man! I switched off straight after seeing the woman with the led torches, what felt like 5 mins of just her waving her arms about in communication with the very obvious amature cgi ape that appears for a couple of mere 5 seconds. Budget blown.

Someone obviously saw Kong vs Godzilla high on whatever they were smoking at the time and thought, yeah this could work

1/10 for the movie 10/10 to the pitchers who sold it to the disillusioned execs who greenlit this absolute tosh!
