Cyborg X

In a post-apocalyptic future humanity war against an army of cyber virus infected hybrid man-machines created by X-Corp.

Director Kevin King offers a low-budget exploitation flick which appeals especially those who enjoy women wielding weapons and ripped men without tops.

To King's credit many of the gore and special effects are pretty good. Rocky Myers and Eve Mauro are notable. Danny Trejo is his usually staple self in the short amount of screen time.

Cyborg X combines existing themes and tropes from sci-fi film history and pop culture. If it was 1992 this would have been a sure fire straight to video hit, the problem is that the Cyborg, Terminator and Mad Max cash-in has been worn tire thin.

King 's creative eye is evident and he manages to pull together a consistent film for the budget with the help of Myers performance.

Overall, don't expect Terminator or even Cyborg, think slicker Nemesis or APEX or more recently Battle of the Damned and you won't be disappointed.

I will stop a movie in a heartbeat if it looks bad but this one somehow captivated me. The acting is atrocious, the storyline is terrible, and the effects are so low budget they look like they were done by a first grader. I feel like the movie could have been decent. If everything was done better. I wasted an hour and a half but I'll recommend this movie to anyone willing to watch a movie just to see if any of it might turn decent. Spoiler alert: It only gets worse.

right from the start, you know this is going to be a terminator ripoff, and not a good one either.all the machines facilities resemble disused warehouses, and their so called sophisticated network is stored on computers that make the zx spectrum look high tech

as usual, you have the barechested guy with pecs and abs for the ladies and big breasted women who can't act for the guys, plus Danny Trejo thrown in for good measure, although he gets about 20 lines tops in the entire movie

the cyborgs look just like generic body builders, but with Bane type masks and Borg like weapons on their arms

not a bad movie overall, but not an especially good one either

There is not one good thing to say about this film.

Storyline is non existent - Location is the cheapest set imaginable - Dialogue is rubbish - Acting is strained, can only shout - Choreography is unbelievably bad. Could go on but I think you get the idea.

Don't waste 90 minutes of your life watching this. Go for a walk instead.

A nice Resident Evil'esque beginning with an equally Mila Jovovich sounding female started well but soon fell into pregnant pauses and arty slow-mo pouting Angelina Jolie style with Lips quivering from the off did not bode well for this Scifi flick!

Some eye candy for the guys in the form of two ladies with zero acting ability but made up for it in ample proportions with some extra large bazookas and the usual bare chested six packed hunk who to be honest wasn't that bad an actor and of course Danny Trejo thrown in for good measure and box office poster cudos!

The script - oh boy its bad, real corny bad , there are just some lines that made me shake my head; "Men drinking their own p**s , do you want to drink your own p**s and eat your own s**t" - those lines have to be heard to be believed. I hid under the couch it was that bad!

The story , well its a bit of a Terminator clone (Its a case of spot the similarities) but of the Scifi channel level of movie making and instead of steel robots you get Golds Gym muscle guys with a cape and Bane mask to hide their ugly fizzogs and a nice BFG melded onto their arm where the hand should be and the cheap (Mad Max Style) dune buggies as used in many a low budgeter to transport the cast around the desert!

There are some real technical howlers; like the "Oblivion'esque" flying drones who can identify human DNA from 1000 metres with an optical sensor - cmon guys , if you are going to make a scifi movie then at least use a little common sense and the computer screens and displays look like they were either done on the directors ZX-Spectrum or BBC Micro.The one thing the movie does exceptionally well are the gore effects - i wont spoil it but there are some really rather innovative and disgusting moments (you have been warned!).

All in all if you like low budget Scifi channel straight to video malarky (or big bazookas and six packs) this might pass the evening but don't expect Terminator style effects or a great script but it has its funny moments and of course the big bazookas, lots of grunts , screams and unnecessary swearing as usual, some old style space effects that don't look CGI but the old way of doing effects with models (which i like) and Danny Trejo really needs to invest in a new pair of false teeth or at least a smokers toothbrush!

I would have given it 4 but I am giving it 5 for the big bazookas, Danny Trejo, some really rather excellent gore effects and the computer geek who was not bad!
