Cyborg X (2016)
4/10
Surprisingly enjoyable low budget sci-fi action.
4 June 2018
I was pleasantly surprised (and impressed) with what they've accomplished on such a low budget. This Terminator vs Resident Evil-ish sci-fi action adventure is quite exciting. The visual effects were remarkably good and the music was really awesome. The characters and dialogue is very cliched and stereotypical, though. Also, why do they act all military style if they're only 11 survivors having to stand together? This is survival, right, and not a military operation? Given their situation, why should there be someone giving orders, and why would they even follow orders? Its fine to appoint a leader, but this goes beyond that. Even their speech is military, which is taking it a bit too far. I found Danny Trejo's character under developed. He was good in his role and I would have preferred to see more from this character. It was nice to see Jake Stormoen and Adam Johnson from 'Mythica' fame together in a film again. (In fact, four actors from the Mythica films reunite for this film). Rocky Myers makes a very likable hero.

If you're just looking for a fast-paced film with some really good action scenes, this is the perfect choice. The sound effects are very good. The muscle studs were a wonderful sight. The action was bad-ass entertainment, and the film even had some suspense thrown in the mix, as well. I actually really enjoyed this.
