Review of Omega Doom

Omega Doom (1996)
4/10
Rutger Hauer in a "Fan Film"
6 May 2022
I do believe Rutger Hauer picks some of the dumbest scripts in creation to star in. While this movie does have a certain air of eccentric interest, it has all the atmosphere of an amateur fan film. The acting is cornball, the choreography and weapons use is indecipherable, and the story line unprofessional.

While the film does have a certain element of unique flair, that flair is lost in some of the worst directing seen this side of an Asylum film. In truth, if it weren't for Hauer starring in it, it would fit right in with any Asylum flick ever made. This is basically a spaghetti western with robots... but the robots don't act like robots. They have personalities, they're psychotic, they drink water (okay, maybe that's to fuel a radiator or something?). They "breathe" (their warm breath can be seen in the cold winter air). What is that, internal heat dissipation?

Okay, we can let that slide. This movie is okay for "something to watch". I'm sure it may appeal to some folks, but the majority of people who won't even bother to review this film will give it a thumbs down. I am now convinced however, I could make a movie using my cell phone. No doubt about it.
