Nemesis III: Prey Harder

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.

Alex (Sue Price) has ended up stranded in the East African wilderness, and she has no idea how she got there. Soon encountering the obviously not-to-be-trusted "Farnsworth 2" (comedian / B movie icon Tim Thomerson), Alex ultimately flashes back to the previous 22 hours, in which she had learned that she has almost two dozen half-sisters who wish for her to return to 2077.

The screenplay is potentially quite confusing, but it's clear that writing is not B movie veteran Albert Pyuns' strong point. Mostly, he sets up some undemanding low-budget genre nonsense, with some decent action & explosions, a barrage of tacky visual effects, a solid music score by Tony Riparetti, and a welcome sense of humor.

Prices' acting improves a bit from the previous sequel, but her real asset remains her incredible physicality. Thomerson, as always, provides an excellent villain, and Pyun repertory player Norbert Weisser is likewise fun as a wise-cracking mercenary. The real highlight is the pair of camp performances by Sharon Bruneau & Debbie Muggli as two lookalike, blonde wig-wearing cyborg goons. They have good chemistry and get some good laughs.

Overall, this wasn't as entertaining as the previous movie with Price, and only truly die-hard lovers of this kind of techno-cheese may really get into it.

Five out of 10.

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.

Nemesis 3 is the worst movie what I have ever seen!!! I think that Nemesis 3 was only 30 minutes long. And that movie was so boo-oo-ring. When that movie ends and I saw word: NEMESIS 4... I thought I will...NOT watch that movie never again.

Nemesis III Prey Harder otherwise known as Nemesis III Time Lapse is a contender for the worst movie in the franchise and that's really saying something.

The third Nemesis movie but seventh movie overall in the Cyborg (1989) franchise (Yeah it still confuses me as well) follows directly on from Nemesis II but that's just about all it has to its credit.

3 of these movies were made within the space of 2 years, that may explain why they're so poor.

Picking up from Alex's adventure as the sole hope for humanity's battle against the cyborgs and yadayadayada. Sue Price returns looking like a great action heroine in a movie that is quite frankly beneath her.

Industry veteran and original Nemesis (1992) star Tim Thomerson returns and is on usual great form but nothing can make up for the dreadful cast around him.

Awful sfx, snoozefest of a plot and absolutely nothing going for it this is the absolute pits within a franchise that's consistently bad anyway.

The Good:

Follows on well from Nemesis 2 (1995)

Tim Thomerson

The Bad:

Naff cgi

Plot is terrible
