Amazon.co.uk Review

In the industrial wasteland just outside of Los Angeles, circa 2027,there's a covert war raging between the cyborgs and the humans. "86.5% is still human", insists superagent Alex (Jean-Claude Van Damme wannabe Olivier Gruner, complete with kick-boxing credentials and thick Euro-warble) but as the cyborg conspiracy builds around him he discovers that humanity is more than simply a matter of flesh and blood. Borrowing elements from Blade Runner, The Terminator, Escape from New York and The Road Warrior and looking ahead to digital "data couriers" of Johnny Mnemonic, director Albert Pyun turns the sci-fi spy story into an engine for a visceral thrill ride of sleekly designed action sequences driven by a dancing camera and a breakneck editing rhythm. It's a glorious triumph of style over substance, the vigorous pace leaving the story far behind and nimble set pieces belying a tiny budget with ambitious action choreography and impressive displays of property damage. Apart from a few clumsy special effects at the conclusion and the requisite collection of scene-chewing performances, Nemesis is a thoroughly entertaining piece of sci-fi trash, a classic example of cinematic energy overcoming the obstacles of plot. --Sean Axmaker

4.0 out of 5 stars Sci Fi Action movie with a theme about what makes us human.., 4 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I quite liked this movie for the theme in it about the cost of what most SciFi movies gloss over. OK, implants and other prosthetics are accepted today, but what about the 85% prosthetic human? The story details the progress of an all human agent that in the progress of the movie gets more and more "machine". His position is contrasted with the full AI androids who hold superior positions in his organisation. Less slick in it's SFX than Terminator or Robocop, I found it better in the treatment of the human element.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money . . ., 25 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Rambling, tedious, and dismal, this film has neither substance or style. Spend your money on something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just downright mindless fun, 25 Feb 2006
By A Customer
I had this on VHS for years and it got plenty of play. Sure it'll never be the greatest movie of all time but you know what, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Its a bit hammy in places and some of the effects look horribly old (Harryhausen eat your heart out!) but bottom line - I have a big soft spot for Nemesis and so have many of the people ive shown it too.

I wouldnt recommend coughing up more than 15 quid for the DVD but if you have a passing cyberpunk interest (Hell, if you liked Syndicate the game, there more than a few references or perhaps nods - what came first?) then Ollie and his auto-pump action shotgun (cool as ever) will entertain...... f*cking humans...
