Apatros Review Ep-0080: NEMESI5: The New Model [2017]

AR-0080: In the first half of the 1990s, legendary cult action director Albert Pyun carved out a modestly successful place as the King of the 1990s Synthetica, with the total of seven B-grade Direct-to-video action-based synthetica throughout that decade, the centrepoint being the four-film "Nemesis" series.

In 2017, some low budget hack decided to trick Pyun [who was already at work on what was to be his final synthetica with "Cyborg Nemesis: The Dark Rift", which he ultimately had to abandon due to his health-mandated retirement from movie making due to getting dementia] into letting him make a fifth Nemesis film with Pyun onboard as an executive director.

The result is an utterly unholy ultra-cheap piece of garbage that is essentially the original Nemesis done in the manner of a bargain basement three-for-a-dollar clearance bin at your local $2 shop.

This 'movie' is the perfect example of why the makers of classic cult movies, no matter the genre, need to seriously vet their movies' acquisition by newbies - we have seen it with George A Romero, with Star Wars and this particular one is Pyun's encounter with the ugly side of postmodernist hacks who don't have the franchise's best interests at heart...

Any true Nemesis fan does not consider this wretched piece of work to be canon.

My Grade: D- [Atrocious]
