Omega Doom
“Robots rule the Earth. Only one man can stop them.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Rutger Hauer's wandering robot finds two android factions occupying the same ruined territory. The familiar stranger-playing-both-sides story gains an amusingly mechanical population, while Albert Pyun supplies enough hard-bitten atmosphere to keep the small-scale future interesting.
