Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Cristi_Ciopron There is a place where two rival gangs fight for dominion; suddenly, a mysterious and shrewd stranger arrives, he turns the ones against the others, allies with everybody, undermines all plans—now this is a subjects worthy of a Kurosawa, Leone and Pyun.In this post-apocalyptic western, the rival bands are the Droids and the Roms; they fight over some yet unfounded guns hidden somewhere in a deserted town. In the apocalyptic winter, it looks like all humans have perished. The fight of the machines is deemed to be frightful; it is not really—but so it's deemed.The mysterious, charismatic stranger is a Hybrid—another machine—an upgraded Hybrid, played by Hauer; the friendly local is the bartender, a Drone.When Hauer sets foot in town, there are three Roms—played by Cote, Pierce, Ireland; and four Droids—played by Whirry, Poland, Zuri and White. OMEGA DOOM is low—budget Sci—Fi western. It's true that some less inspired lines and even the plot's idea will look perhaps a little ridiculous to some fans—but hey, let's not let them make a majority! Most Sci—Fi fans will find very touching Zed's final.Hauer even uses an Eastwood cigar, to make things as clear as possible, for the most slow—minded of fans.Anna Katarina plays the Drone bartender, a mild and serving creature; Weisser is Hauer's funny buddy. Shannon Whirry is the sexpot of the movie—as ZED, the Droid princess.We are also treated twice with the prophetic poem of D Thomas about the victory over death. In the desolated cityscape of the apocalyptic winter, that ought to be an encouragement.

ivytheplant-1 Nah, I don't think it's a horrible movie. Sure it lacks a lot of action that movies of the period had, but I never thought of this as an action movie anyway. It seemed to me to be more like a comic book/graphic novel meets 70's samurai movie meets spaghetti western. Despite the obvious overarching situation (apocalypse, possibility of humans returning, obvious society gone to hell), it pretty much all but ignores that and focuses on the problem at hand: ridding the robot town of the "bad guys." It ends with a sense that Omega Doom has really done nothing more than put a band-aid on the whole situation, but his actions are more along the lines of self-preservation than anything else. He just showed up for a drink and gets sucked into a fight. That's how pretty much any of the same genre starts. Someone comes along, wanting to be left alone, but some dumb schmuck picks a fight and then our hero has to teach them a lesson. Nothing is resolved, the world is still as crummy as it ever was, but the hero gets to get back on the road in one piece. Lather, rinse, repeat.That's why this kind of movie appeals to me. I don't think it's boring or a waste of time. It's interesting enough in it's hopeless nothingness. I don't always want to see a happily ever after ending or some Matrix-y, save-the-human-race type of fight. Those are a dime a dozen. That's what has always appealed to me in old samurai movies, though those tend to focus more on making things better. This movie was very reminiscent of Philip K. Dick stories: bleak futures with small stories that just are what they are.Of course this kind of movie doesn't appeal to everyone, not by a long shot. I think my little brother fell asleep. Van Damme movies were more his thing. Lots of fight scenes and the bad guys get their due. Not that I don't like those movies, I do. It's just that something of the type of movie that Omega Doom is, is a breath of fresh air. There's a pointless despair to it that I enjoy. Something is done, and yet it isn't.Also, I know the special effects are bad, but I honestly thought it was an 80's movie. I was surprised to see 1995-1997 as a release date. I think it's much better thinking of it as an 80's movie if you're the type of person who just can't get past special effects not being as good as LotR or Star Wars.So this gets 6 stars from me. Not the greatest, but not the worst. Despite IMDb's plot description, it doesn't try to be anything other than it is, it fulfills my comic book/graphic novel pleasures, and I much enjoyed some of the talent in it compared to, say Van Damme.

Boba_Fett1138 Albert Pyun is really underrated. This guy deserves more attention on how bad he is. Bad as a director and writer, a couple of years ago I already declared him the Ed Wood of modern movie making. Sad thing about directors like Pyun is that they have no talent for movie-making but keep on making movies nevertheless.Reason why I watched this movie in the first place is because Rutger Hauer is in it. It's too bad that he is given awful material to work with, the script has some terrible dialogs.Still I can appreciate a big fat B-movie every now and then. B-movie's are always ridicules and awfully looking with terrible acting. In a way its always very relaxing to watch after a hard week of work. This movie is no exception. Fans of the genre and I know that there are a lot of those, will enjoy this movie big time. It has all the typical modern science-fiction B-movie elements in it.The special effects are laughable bad at times, especially for the character Head. The sound effects also made me laugh. Remember that Cain droid from "Robocop 2"? Remember that sound that he made when he walked? It's a kind of scary sound for Cain but a laughable sound when it is used for just normal human looking droid characters in this movie. It's really not fitting.Don't stop making crap Pyun! In a way I always enjoy it....I kind of like the cover though.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

murphmail_industries If you like ridiculously shitty movies then go out and find this it is the worst movie I have ever seen and has absolutely no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. If you enjoy terrible movies then you need to see this nothing will ever top it. I have just been informed that I need 10 lines in my comment so stop reading now because the rest is going to be filler. I really have nothing else to write I don't know why I should have to but if those are the guidelines I will have to do it no matter how ridiculous they might be. There's only a couple of lines left to fill this really isn't that terrible, it is however incredibly retarded. I guess I need to fill the 10th line as well so now this better work. I know to you it won't look like 10 lines but in this editor it is now more than 10.
