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!

Here we go again. A new year and its time for a new batch of movies made by asylum and other such companies. Im not bashing them, I quite enjoy them eve if they are bad at certain points. Ill begin with the good. Tom arnold is in this. A great veratile actor. Its a shame he dosent get much screen time as he is the best one here. The acting is not too bad all around, apart from the ones doing accents. Cgi could be better and is laughable when we see mecha ape and the other ape but its still pretty fun all things considered and overall it was a bit of fun. Ape vs mecha ape is another alright syfy movie.
I thought the special effects were pretty good, There really wusn't much.
There wasn't much in the way of fight scenes. Now I confess I stopped watching after about 50 minutes. If a movie has nothing but fight scenes or even a LOT I usually don't watch em, but this movie for me just got boring going the other direction.
I thought the acting was pretty good, i thought the special affects, the little there were, was pretty good, it was just boring. It was definitely low budget with most the scenes occurring in backyards or warehouse areas and low end offices and such Anyway, thats my two bits.

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.

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.
