After AI gone rogue activates machines targeting mankind, a band of desert survivors seek a researcher knowledgeable on the plague. It becomes clear a mainframe must be infiltrated to take down a sentient abomination controlling flying mech-eyes hunting humans.
Less Mad Max with zombies than writer-director Kevin King's Zombie Hunter (2013) and more Terminator future war. Way more tolerable as well despite free streaming fodder. The cast carries the Cameron deja vu with Danny Trejo briefly appearing to flail guns and scream unintelligible Spanish. Some okay practical gore makes reliance on piss-poor digital effects lamentable. Pro-tip to basement filmmakers, hands-on corn syrup and food dye made mediocre schlock of yore memorable. Don't always look to the Computer God first. Watched via Sunworld Pictures's DVD.
It's basically a Resident Evil: Extinction fan film that managed to get Danny Trejo to hang out for an afternoon's worth of scenes.
Just one in a long line of movies with a name actor who is front and center on the poster and pretty much far to the side during the film itself.
This film is a dash of Resident Evil, a dollop of Terminator and just a splash of Aliens. The story resolution is not what I was expecting, and that was ok, but there isn't much building of characters. The acting is fine for this sort of thing among the non-cannonfodder characters. The sets are effective. But this isn't a great film. Epic slow mo and epic montage at the beginning fails because we have not become invested it the characters yet and it would have been more effective at…
This star goes to the 5 minutes of Danny Trejo. The rest of this movie was whack as hell.
Danny Trejo is in this like 5 minutes. Not much stuck with me about this. No name cast other than Trejo, who I am sure made a boat payment for showing up in this.
I mean better than expected? I guess I just watched this for Danny Trejo cuz this man has done so many movies I feel the need to witness them all
At one point Letterboxd included Cyborg X in the Cyborg franchise collection (which I have been working my way through), even though it has literally nothing to do with the other Cyborg movies. I therefore felt compelled to watch it ... which was a mistake.
X-Corp, ein großer Waffenhersteller, verliert die Kontrolle über seine künstliche Intelligenz und die Systeme fangen an zu rebellieren. Diese Skynet, ähm X-Corp Truppen zerstören daraufhin den Großteil der Gesellschaft, sodass die wenigen, die das Ganze überstanden haben, sich in mit den Widrigkeiten der Post Apokalypse um ihr Leben ringen müssen. Um das Ganze stimmig zu machen, gibt es noch einen Haufen überlebender Soldaten, die auf eine Selbstmordmission gehen, um die Karre aus dem Dreck zu ziehen.
Klingt generisch und kommt in der Gestalt eines vermutlich nicht teuer produzierten B-Movies daher.
Die Story bleibt den kompletten Film über genauso flach, wie sie klingt, auch wenn man zugutehalten muss, dass sich doch an einer richtigen Geschichte versucht wird. Die Effekte sehen wirklich…

The only reason I watched this is because Letterboxd added this monstrosity to the Cyborg collection and my OCD got the better of me.
It’s a terminator rip off with a crap story , crap acting and looked like it was shot on a farm.
Best bit about it was Danny Trejo and he is in it all of 5 minutes.
Cheap, janky, and missing any sort of creative bone in its body, but somehow still entertaining. It knows it's making pulpy disposable entertainment and tries to put a layer of fun in there somewhere, winking at the audience. It doesn't always work, but there's moments here and there.
