Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
DigitalRevenantX7 In the year 2057, the government created the Omega cyborgs in order to subdue the people but the Omegas changed their programming, becoming rebel leaders. In response, the Prototype cyborgs were created with the sole purpose of eliminating the Omegas, which they eventually succeed. Twenty years later in the ruins of Los Angeles, wheelchair-bound war veteran Hawkins Coselaw volunteers for a revival of the Prototype program. Placed in a Prototype battlesuit, Hawkins uses his new powers to protect his girlfriend Chandra from thugs. But what they don't know is that the program's revival is intended to subjugate the surviving population – and that Chandra is the last of the Omegas.The early 1990s were a time when the DTV sci-fi action market blossomed to the point that it is now almost a genre in itself. With major blockbusters like TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY giving rise to the themes of deadly cyborgs, something that would be EXTREMELY popular during that decade, the industry would grow to the point that the DTV industry today is massive.One of the earliest killer cyborg films of the 1990s was 1992's Prototype X29A, a debut for one of the genre's biggest B-grade directors – Phillip J. Roth. Roth would form the UFO production company in the mid-1990s & make dozens of cheap sci-fi flicks. While the director's later works were watchable enough, Prototype X29A is far from perfect.The problem with a film like Prototype X29A is that nothing really happens in it. Roth is so intent on crafting a futuristic society in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that he forgets to add any real story to it. But once the film does pick up one, the lack of any real substance to it causes the film to collapse into empty visuals.That said, the film's greatest strength is that the depiction of the future society where technology is outlawed & a church where a priest plays videos to redeem the sinners & waves a gun around to scare off intruders is interesting. But it's a case of too little too late to add anything worthwhile to the genre.
Kurt Astbury I honestly believe this is the worst movie I've ever seen. I am a B movie activist but this is the worst ever. Do not watch under penalty of law. You have been warned!Here are the questions you should ask yourself / points of interest for this movie.1. What happened to the cities and society that made the world this bad? They never tell you. 2. They never explain that Hawkins Coselow is Chandra Kerkorian's lover. They only way you would ever discover this is if you read the box. 3. From the box. "The experiment goes out of control and the prototype goes hunting for Chandra whom he is programmed to kill." If he is programmed to kill Chandra why would the experiment be going out of control when he begins to hunt her? 4. The explosive climax they promise on the box never happens ... why you ask? The prototypes were only made for one reason, to kill the omegas. Chandra is the last omega. Where does mankind's existence hang in the balance?Here is my personal title for this movie which is much more appropriate.HAWKINS GETS NEW LEGS
mynameisal Throughout the movie, I kept on thinking to myself, "This movie would have been a lot better if it were an anime." It has all the features of an anime and could have been a pretty good one, but it's just that it didn't work out too well with live action. It was easy to notice that the director had some nice ideas, with the colors and all, but it just didn't work out for him. To date, the only movies I've seen that have successfully portrayed a good anime in live action form are "Romeo Must Die," "The Matrix," and "Pi."
Brimley How'd she end up in this movie? It doesn't make sense? Isn't she supposed to be an Indiana Jones type? Then why do they make her sit in front of a computer terminal the whole movie? Sure is a waste of her talents...
