Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Cristi_Ciopron There is a place where two rival gangs fight for dominion; suddenly, a mysterious and shrewd stranger arrives, he turns the ones against the others, allies with everybody, undermines all plans—now this is a subjects worthy of a Kurosawa, Leone and Pyun.In this post-apocalyptic western, the rival bands are the Droids and the Roms; they fight over some yet unfounded guns hidden somewhere in a deserted town. In the apocalyptic winter, it looks like all humans have perished. The fight of the machines is deemed to be frightful; it is not really—but so it's deemed.The mysterious, charismatic stranger is a Hybrid—another machine—an upgraded Hybrid, played by Hauer; the friendly local is the bartender, a Drone.When Hauer sets foot in town, there are three Roms—played by Cote, Pierce, Ireland; and four Droids—played by Whirry, Poland, Zuri and White. OMEGA DOOM is low—budget Sci—Fi western. It's true that some less inspired lines and even the plot's idea will look perhaps a little ridiculous to some fans—but hey, let's not let them make a majority! Most Sci—Fi fans will find very touching Zed's final.Hauer even uses an Eastwood cigar, to make things as clear as possible, for the most slow—minded of fans.Anna Katarina plays the Drone bartender, a mild and serving creature; Weisser is Hauer's funny buddy. Shannon Whirry is the sexpot of the movie—as ZED, the Droid princess.We are also treated twice with the prophetic poem of D Thomas about the victory over death. In the desolated cityscape of the apocalyptic winter, that ought to be an encouragement.

winner55 Another remake of Kurosawa's landmark film "Yojimbo" (itself suggested by Dashiell Hammet's "Red Harvest"), set in a distant, post-Apocalyptic future. A stranger comes to town and plays one group of badguys against another, kills everybody, walks off into the sunrise. can't go too wrong with a story that simple! The acting is strong, especially that of Hauer, who never realized the promise of his earely career. When action happens, it's neatly handled.But the pacing just drags. There's not half the action this film needs, and the dialog is way over-wrought.I did like the use of a quote from Dylan Thomas, and a couple other moments stand out, as when one robot envisions Hauer's character on horseback leading the human race back to triumphal dominance. And this is one of Pyun's better efforts as a director; he just doesn't seem to know how to move a film along - which has always been his main weakness.Good for a viewing, but unmemorable, and certainly not in a class with Yojimbo.

gridoon "Omega Doom" is a movie whose ambitions clearly outweigh its budget. However, there is something to be said for genre filmmakers like Albert Pyun who try to make the most of the budget they do have. As others have already pointed out, this is essentially a spaghetti Western transported to a post-apocalyptic setting. At times laughably pretentious, at other times interesting. Rutger Hauer (who has the "stoic, mysterious and deadly loner" role, in the classic Clint Eastwood tradition) still has screen presence, and Tina Cote is pretty hot even when she's playing an emotionless, cold-as-ice killer robot. Their last fight could have been longer and better edited, though. (**)

Boba_Fett1138 Albert Pyun is really underrated. This guy deserves more attention on how bad he is. Bad as a director and writer, a couple of years ago I already declared him the Ed Wood of modern movie making. Sad thing about directors like Pyun is that they have no talent for movie-making but keep on making movies nevertheless.Reason why I watched this movie in the first place is because Rutger Hauer is in it. It's too bad that he is given awful material to work with, the script has some terrible dialogs.Still I can appreciate a big fat B-movie every now and then. B-movie's are always ridicules and awfully looking with terrible acting. In a way its always very relaxing to watch after a hard week of work. This movie is no exception. Fans of the genre and I know that there are a lot of those, will enjoy this movie big time. It has all the typical modern science-fiction B-movie elements in it.The special effects are laughable bad at times, especially for the character Head. The sound effects also made me laugh. Remember that Cain droid from "Robocop 2"? Remember that sound that he made when he walked? It's a kind of scary sound for Cain but a laughable sound when it is used for just normal human looking droid characters in this movie. It's really not fitting.Don't stop making crap Pyun! In a way I always enjoy it....I kind of like the cover though.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
