Who payed the critics
Aneesa Wardle
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Skyler
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Yazmin
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Continuing directly from where part 2 ended, Alex (Sue Price) wakes up in a desert. She meets Farnsworth (Tim Thomerson), the villain from part 1, who offers help, but secretly scans her because the cyborgs from the future are still trying to find out more about her. The not very trustworthy mercenary Edson (Norbert Weisser) and the mentally deficient, but brave and loyal Johnny (Xavier Declie) join Alex in the fight against Farnsworth and the cyborgs.The basic idea of part 3 is go back to the same locations (in Arizona) as part 2 and blow up a few more buildings. ** Spoiler** It develops no real solution to Alex' problems and simply kills everyone in the end, so she may start all over again in part 4. ** End of spoiler ** Neither the complicated structure with flashbacks within flashbacks nor the cheap, awful neon light glow effects used almost every minute make it more user-friendly. The jeeps turning into moving bubbles were totally pointless. The killer twins with white hair are an awkward attempt at the self-irony of trash movies. I watched the 4 Nemesis movies (which I watched first in the 1990s) again now in chronological order for my reviews and voted 7/7/5/5, so you easily see I was not as satisfied with part 3 as with its predecessors.

There's something about a movie that features female bodybuilders that gets me in front of the screen every time. I've seen "Pumping Iron II", "Aces: Iron Eagle III", "Raven Hawk", and even the TV movie "Getting Physical", which featured some big names in the sport. They were tolerable in their own ways (mostly, because they featured Rachel McLish. ROWWR!!).Then I went and watched "Nemesis III: Prey Harder", on the sole basis that it featured such luminaries as Sue Price, Debbie Muggli, Sharon Bruneau and Ursula Sarcev. Love the ladies, always will, but after this I'm kinda glad I missed the first two "Nemesis" flicks.Well, the first one, anyway. Most of the footage here is lifted bodily (and kicking and screaming, I would guess) from "Nemesis II". Actually, that one looked marginally entertaining from the evidence supplied here.But even though Price and company flex and pose, they don't get much of a chance to do anything else (like, say, ACT!). In fact, this whole film is an exercise (Get it? Ha-ha...) in oblique story-telling, ambiguous characters and open-ended movie-making (in terms of filming as well as the story-line). Nothing makes much sense but even if it did, there would still be issues - such as making such small parts for such larger-than-life women as these. What a crime.Of course, it was written and directed by Albert Pyun, so what did you expect: cohesion?One star only, in consideration for all the hard work that Price, Muggli, Bruneau and Sarcev obviously put into their bodies, NOT the "craft" work done within the movie itself.Thanks, ladies.

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.

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).
