Prototype (1992) User Reviews

A strange misunderstood breed

[JaydoDre · 4/10 · 3 August 2012]

I know where it all went wrong. The cover. Prototype's tape cover shows a fake-looking robot standing against the background of a virtual reality grid. Instead it should have been showing a couple of lovers with expressions of suffering on their faces and some kind of dramatic quote. The movie should not have been called "Prototype" but rather something like "Desert Roses". It would have attracted a different kind of audience and would have perhaps been much better received.

Even if the people watching this B-movie do not admit to having any expectations for it, they are subconsciously expecting to see indications of some genre. Yet they receive none because Prototype can't pick a genre. Well then, is it like one of those smart genre-transcending films? Well, no. Firstly, because it is not smart and secondly, because even those kind of movies are clearly about something and generally pick an emotional focal point out of each genre on which to base the storyline and Prototype doesn't really get its footing in any of the genres. However if we tried to pinpoint a genre, it would most definitely not be an action movie, but a drama. It is a poorly executed drama.

The story is about a problematic couple getting caught up in the leftovers of a vague futuristic conspiracy. The setting is an 80s post-apocalyptic world.

There are multiple aspects of the story that could have been much better developed. It is not that the movie does not have enough material, like some have suggested. It is that the makers did not do enough with the material at hand. There is a whole movie out there about nothing more than a guy who gets his hand stuck in a rock, and it managed to keep its audience interested. Prototype is just poorly executed. The few action scenes are laughable. The stuff in between the action scenes doesn't have enough expression, contains horrible camera decisions and is in desperate need of better dialogue.

Having said that, the movie is somewhat underrated as it does have an interesting style and the acting, which this movie heavily relies upon, is not that bad. Unfortunately its style is a slow one, and unless you have a lot of patience with pessimistic sci-fi dramas, you will not like this.

I wish someone redid this movie and gave it life rather than a zombie existence.

At least the title describes the final product in question.

I consider myself to be a major contender in the terms of low budget science fiction, i'm not one to brag but when I was a teenager, the movie clerk would say that I was keeping him in business by renting the obscure flicks that basically came and went without much of an impression. Prototype X29A (Which I guess is titled Prototype) is a movie that reminded me a lot like the equally dull Nemesis, in that it seems to labor to tell a story that has lots of heart and excitement but fails in most regards. Actually there are some okay moments that surface, for one of the characters is admittedly likable. The guy in a wheelchair has our sympathy, he wants to become a robot so he can have his true love but this is all abandoned for stupid quirkiness which add little to the story and nothing that is interesting. Plus the whole rebel underground subplot and the totalitarian government are clichés borrowed from Albert Pyun. I actually saw Prototype X29A in a double-bill with ROTOR, at least ROTOR (While admittedly far worse) was hilarious to watch. This one was just a decorated bore with little merit.

*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)

The human emotion of boredom reaches an entirely new low (*Spoilers* as if this movie deserved having it's plot given away)

[nhlgumby · 2/10 · 14 January 2002]

I am a big movie fan. I VERY rarely fall asleep during movies of any sorts. I find it disrespectful, and an insult to the makers of the movie. This movie falls into the occasion that makes me say "I RARELY fall asleep." I FELL ASLEEP!! Only the second time I have paid for a movie, and fell asleep during it!! What does that say about the movie? NOTHING!! It says nothing about this movie. I was SO tired of watching this movie, that what little of a plot there was to begin with IMMEDIATELY fell apart thirty minutes into this money pit. This movie was induced by, and causes the same thing, boredom. So at least there is SOME thing that links us to the movie. I cannot see this being made with high expectations on the part of the director, producer, cast or computers used in this movie. I could easily see the computers reaching for their self destruct button when the writer typed this script into the computer. Here's the best I could come up with for a plot. I'd give you a better one if I had the courage to watch the movie again:

There are these things called Prototypes that were created to destroy a group of renegade robots called Omegas. The movie starts with a so-called Prototype roaming through a wasteland of scrap metal while a bunch of people scramble around trying to shoot it with whatever weapons they have. They are toasted. Thus goes to show, no matter how big a gun you have, someone has a bigger one. The Prototype begins searching for the last remaining Omega he can detect, which is some guy down in a damp dark basement with one computer (get used to dark rooms filled with lots of moisture and lots of smoke. This does not flatter any actor's physical appearances throughout the movie). The guy has what appears to be his young daughter with him, and he tells a servant to take his daughter away. He links up to the computer using a very Matrixy looking plug-in to the back of his neck, and sees the Prototype coming. He just waits in the room and it comes right on in, and kills him. Nothing very flattering about the whole scene, he just kills him.

Well, next thing I know (it's all a big blur really) we see some guy sitting in a wheel chair with a mullet (Ugghh...) named Hawkins, smoking in a dark, damp room. Some kid with a bow and arrow comes in begging for something called a processor, and this Hawkins guy gives it to him, even though he says that the little kid's sister TOLD him not to give it to him. He gave it to him, even though the girl he obsesses over told him not to. This guy really needs to get a life.

Next we see some lady walking into this dark, dank room with a backpack on, looking a lot like Lara Croft... that is, if you ever wanted to see Lara Croft extremely sweaty. She talks with this guy (totally unintelligible) and begins tapping away at a computer (*Yawn*) Let me let you know as a bit of a side note, this movie has some of the worst music to date. It's played at the audibility level of about one decibel and it's horrible. I actually think this movie could have been saved if they had put good music... no, great music into it, due to the lack of dialogue this movie seems to provide us with.

Now, we take a total change in the movie, and half way through it, decide to introduce new, relatively important characters. All we see of them though, is when someone tries to take some of their stuff, and the bigger guy snaps all three of the guy's necks. And with about five people scattered about him no less! I guess in the future, murder isn't as big of a crime as it is today. Oh, another side note about the movie. This movie depicts the future as having LOTS of old people. I'd say there is about a 4:1 old person, young person ratio. Example: The apartment building the Hawkins guy lives in is run by an old priest who constantly wants to kill the young kid with his gun. And sitting on the apartment's lounge couch are two old people, one of which has died, it's just that nobody seemed to notice.

The next scene I remember is probably the most important scene of the movie. It starts with two guys endlessly playing rock/paper/scissors. What does that say about the future? Pretty bleak, eh? Afterwards, it pans to Chandra (we soon find out she's the guy's daughter from the beginning of the movie, as if we really care at this point) and she's prostituting herself to four men at the same time. I mean, COME ON!! This is terrible. But you know what? You know what? Here comes the best part about the future... GUYS SHARE CONDOMS!!!! ARRRGGHHH!!!!!! KILL ME NOW!!!! All that happens after this doesn't matter, except that the sweaty Lara Croft makes an offer to Hawkins to let him walk again, so he goes into this thing where they transform his body into the shell of an old Prototype, and he walks around again. But it scares Chandra because she doesn't recognize him for obvious reasons and so she tries to shoot him. All the while Hawkins inside the Prototype, is trying to suppress urges to kill Chandra, because it turns out she is the last Omega... Da da daaaaa!!! But, he doesn't do it. Then that guy who kills people for touching his stuff comes in, nearly kicks Hawkins' butt, but Chandra stops him, so Hawkins kills him (What tha?) and then Hawkins pulls off his helmet, walks outside while the barely audible music plays, and slumps to the ground, dead I guess. By this time, I was pulling out my hair, looking for the explanation someone owes me for making this movie.

All in all, this movie was well worth the $2.50 I spent to buy it. My obsession with bad movies was looking for pain and anguish, and I guess I found it in the form of Prototype x29a. Now, it's off to the incinerator to add some new fuel, in the form of Prototype x29a, to the fire!! Wow, looking back on all I wrote, who knew that someone could write this much about this bad of a movie! Good day Gentlemen...

What did I just watch?!

[monk-81907 · 1/10 · 22 July 2018]

You know sometimes you're wandering through Youtube looking for groovy old scifi movies (that hark back to the days when a 40 MB hard drive was apparently something to get excited about) and you find yourself watching something that you then keep watching because you're convinced at some point the writer(s) will remember to inject a plot and some decent dialogue into the thing?

Yeahhh. That was me watching this ... and wondering why, at the 55 minute mark (a) nothing of note had happened, (b) I had no idea how any of the characters related to one another, (c) some wheelchair dude with an uber mullet was pouting a lot because his skanky gf wasn't putting out - coz he was in a wheelchair I think?, and (d) where this was all going... because it felt kinda like nowhere.

Luckily there's an option to skip ahead in small jumps, which I started doing at the 62 minute mark just to get some sort of closure before heading off to watch something actually entertaining.

Good luck. Recommended if you can't sleep...

I can't believe I bought this.

[vampyrecowboy · 1/10 · 20 September 2006]

I bought this...I admit...

Why? How could I? Was I thinking that this would somehow be in some weird and insane way even somewhat relative to one of the BEST robot/action/science fiction movies ever - Terminator 1,2 and 3?

Well it had a cool wasteland location...that is the good points...oh and whoever polished the suit of the prototype did a decent job of wax and polish...they have a great and bright future in car detail.

That aside...everybody else's comments on how rightfully and ruthlessly horrible this is are justified.

It's not just boring, it's also stupid...which makes it a double whammy.

Total waste of time unless you haven't slept for several days like I do from time to time.

This was a cure for sleep deprivation.

I think that this was produced by Philip-Morris...it had to be. Almsot every scene consists of people smoking...and not just for a cool look...but for need.

The future is dreary, dry, desolate...and in the future I will need to smoke endlessly...it's a requirement...well, that and to walk around with an angry scowl on my face.

I don't think anybody smiles - even half cased. It's MANDATORY to be consistently angry AND smoke at the same time.

There you go...my comments on a truly original film.

Oh...was it a real inspiration? That I hopefully die before 2057, so that I don't have to spend all my money on smokes and bad haircuts.

Now, I have this piece of art in my film collection. Should I die now or wait till I buy another fantastic motion picture like this?

Future Schlock...

[azathothpwiggins · 18 October 2021]

In the far-flung future, in the ruined city of Los Angeles, cyborgs called "Prototypes" are on the hunt for any remaining, partially-human "Omegas".

PROTOTYPE is another TERMINATOR clone, complete with unstoppable robots, a remnant human race, a tough female warrior, and a child savior.

Unfortunately, since there was obviously no money involved in the making of this film, the presentation is irredeemably slipshod. In the hands of someone like Roger Corman, this could have been an enjoyable schlock classic. No such luck.

The idiotic characters range from mildly to insufferably annoying, and the "special" effects are not up to the task. In addition, there's simply no excuse for just how bloody boring it all is! If boredom was a crime, then this movie would get the chair! Hell, the titular figure doesn't even enter the picture until the final 15-20 minutes, and still nothing happens!

In a word, this is awful...

The worst movie in existence

[kurtastbury · 1/10 · 4 December 2007]

I honestly believe this is the worst movie I've ever seen. I am a B movie activist but this is the worst ever. Do not watch under penalty of law. You have been warned!

Here are the questions you should ask yourself / points of interest for this movie.

1. What happened to the cities and society that made the world this bad? They never tell you. 2. They never explain that Hawkins Coselow is Chandra Kerkorian's lover. They only way you would ever discover this is if you read the box. 3. From the box. "The experiment goes out of control and the prototype goes hunting for Chandra whom he is programmed to kill." If he is programmed to kill Chandra why would the experiment be going out of control when he begins to hunt her? 4. The explosive climax they promise on the box never happens ... why you ask? The prototypes were only made for one reason, to kill the omegas. Chandra is the last omega. Where does mankind's existence hang in the balance?

Here is my personal title for this movie which is much more appropriate.

HAWKINS GETS NEW LEGS

Bad Medium

[mynameisal · 3/10 · 28 November 2000]

Throughout the movie, I kept on thinking to myself, "This movie would have been a lot better if it were an anime." It has all the features of an anime and could have been a pretty good one, but it's just that it didn't work out too well with live action. It was easy to notice that the director had some nice ideas, with the colors and all, but it just didn't work out for him. To date, the only movies I've seen that have successfully portrayed a good anime in live action form are "Romeo Must Die," "The Matrix," and "Pi."

Someone spent money making this!

[hibiscus-5 · 1/10 · 17 September 2001]

I can say without reservation that this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I was mesmerized in a certain way by the inane and nonsensical plot, the wooden acting, and the boring action sequences. To fully understand what happened in this film you would probably have to watch it more than once, which would be absolutely unbearable. If you really feel like seeing a bad movie, and not just a somewhat less than good movie, this is the one for you.

MIDI!!!!

[ixl85 · 1/10 · 8 July 2001]

damn..... this movie.... its SSSSSSSOOOO lame.... it really is.. there are a few points i just want u to know before watching the movie..

1: it has NO good music.... u have to same MIDI 1.5 hour long.... it doesn't stop..

2: the way they filmed it is SSSSO XTREMLY BORING.... there isnt a cool scene in the whole movie... (just as boring as the midi music)

3: i am a SCI-FI FAN... but.... while watching this movie.... i couldn't stop laughing... I don't know why.. but i think because its so LAME

IXL

My mind doesn't stand a chance.

[Staack117 · 1/10 · 29 October 2001]

I lost a dare on this pile (and my voice after yelling at it for twenty minutes). I can usually find SOMETHING redeeming in even the worst movie, but I couldn't stop screaming "WHY?!" at every pointless scene that dragged this mess even further into the dirt. Nothing. NOTHING. It wasn't even fun making fun of. What's fun of tearing apart something that's worse than the most vile insult I can think of? I'd be giving this trainwreck (for the life of me, I still don't understand the plot) credit if I called it a 'movie.' If you want a challenge, go ahead and try to joke it, but you'll probably be just as frustrated as we were.

Typical Slow Ass Cyber-punk Action That I Like

[DavyDissonance · 8/10 · 28 December 2017]

Prototype X-29A is about a wheelchair guy who volunteers to be a cyborg so he can stick his cyborg pecker in the woman he loves. Turns out he is being utilized to be an assassin for the gov'ment to kill off the resistance or something. I loved this movie and I'm wrong in doing so but I don't give a $#!+ what you think. I like the action which was gun toting crap with some marital arts and the post apocalyptic look was convincing enough. The cyborg was cool even if it looks like it came from a Japanese movie. I agree the film moves like elephant sex and the story is disjointed as hell but eh. It is cheesy sci fi slow paced garbage and I love it so lick my butt.

Really bad...not even deliciously bad.

[DakedoJones · 2/10 · 5 July 2012]

Not long ago, I discovered there was one last old-fashioned video store in town, with an action/sci-fi section stocked heartily with tapes from the 80s/90s. I love robots, and going by the android-looking figure on the tape jacket and a vague promise of action, I rented this movie under its Canadian release title of "Prototype X29A". I mean, come on, I'm only 19. That just sounded cool! Watching it with my 14-year-old brother in tow, I was more hoping it would be so-bad-it's-good (like, think of Kickpuncher from Community), but not long into it, I was starting to wish I rented "No Man's Land" just to see young Charlie Sheen.

My hopes were high during the opening scene, which takes place in the once far-off year of 2057, and has some really nice atmosphere and delightfully terrible fighting. Everything changes as soon as we cut to 20 years in the future, focusing on a colony of mostly old people and some punk-looking young adults. The story seems to focus more on a young woman (only clad in a weird bra-shirt for this film) who was a toddler during the opening scene, her teenage surrogate brother, and a guy in a wheelchair who looked like John Taylor. A priest was trying to kill the teenage boy for no reason, John Taylor was playing with an erotic sim game (at one point he clicks on an option that brings up a male partner, the one thing that actually provided amusement for me beyond the prologue), and a lady who looks a lot like Lara Croft is on a computer for most of the film. And some guy kept getting into fights, and breaking necks was his only move.

It's boring, painfully so. I don't mind a lot of exposition, but here all essential information would display on a computer screen in a font that looked nifty and hi-tech in the late eighties. It bumbles around aimlessly, throwing handfuls of characters and bizarre events in your face (i.e. a card game in a saloon with a meth addict Tom Hiddleston lookalike). It even got borderline nasty at times, too, with one scene where our female lead is either prostituting to or about to be raped by four guys. The first assailant says to another, "USE MAH SKIN" and pulls off his used condom...yikes, the movie instantly was in bad favour with me. It tries to blend action, scientific themes, apocalyptic settings, eroticism and general sleaze into one package, and the result is as palatable as expired milk. (Mind you, I loved "Heavy Traffic". Violence and sleaze can be good when they're not slathered all over.)

I didn't finish it. I feel really bad admitting this, but it was one of the few movies that were so unappealing I just had to stop. I'd give it one star, but the trashy opening and one laugh provided some entertainment. If you need to see something cheesy and 80s, I'd rather you looked up the Malofilm Video and Vidmark Entertainment indents, which displayed at the beginning of the Canadian release. They're adorably dated, but my point is, two home video indents should not be better than your whole film.

Access Granted... and APPROVAL GRANTED!!!

[LittleMonster · 12 March 2002]

What wasn't magical about this movie? Futuristic sex combined with phenomenal special effects and massive amounts of cigarette smoking made this sci-fi thriller a hit!!! With the star power in this movie, I knew I was in for a treat. I mean, Brenda Swanson and Prototype...what a stellar line-up!! I became even more intrigued when I discovered that this was actually the third part of the Terminator trilogy. This became evident when access was granted about two thirds into the movie. Finally, I'd just like to say this movie was part man, part machine, and ALL KILLER!!!

An early example of provocative visuals & a weak story.

[DigitalRevenantX7 · 2/10 · 11 June 2015]

In the year 2057, the government created the Omega cyborgs in order to subdue the people but the Omegas changed their programming, becoming rebel leaders. In response, the Prototype cyborgs were created with the sole purpose of eliminating the Omegas, which they eventually succeed. Twenty years later in the ruins of Los Angeles, wheelchair-bound war veteran Hawkins Coselaw volunteers for a revival of the Prototype program. Placed in a Prototype battlesuit, Hawkins uses his new powers to protect his girlfriend Chandra from thugs. But what they don't know is that the program's revival is intended to subjugate the surviving population – and that Chandra is the last of the Omegas.

The early 1990s were a time when the DTV sci-fi action market blossomed to the point that it is now almost a genre in itself. With major blockbusters like TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY giving rise to the themes of deadly cyborgs, something that would be EXTREMELY popular during that decade, the industry would grow to the point that the DTV industry today is massive.

One of the earliest killer cyborg films of the 1990s was 1992's Prototype X29A, a debut for one of the genre's biggest B-grade directors – Phillip J. Roth. Roth would form the UFO production company in the mid-1990s & make dozens of cheap sci-fi flicks. While the director's later works were watchable enough, Prototype X29A is far from perfect.

The problem with a film like Prototype X29A is that nothing really happens in it. Roth is so intent on crafting a futuristic society in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that he forgets to add any real story to it. But once the film does pick up one, the lack of any real substance to it causes the film to collapse into empty visuals.

That said, the film's greatest strength is that the depiction of the future society where technology is outlawed & a church where a priest plays videos to redeem the sinners & waves a gun around to scare off intruders is interesting. But it's a case of too little too late to add anything worthwhile to the genre.

Give it a try - you might like it

[dariuslanghoff · 5/10 · 14 August 2017]

The movie kicks off with a tin-suited Prototype stalking amidst rubble and zapping anyone who stands in its way. Bullets just bounce off.

We are in the middle of the 21st century when the powers-that-be try to get civilization going again with the aid of Omegas who are part computer but mainly human . But then, so the daft story goes, the authorities changed their mind and sent out robotic prototypes to obliterate the Omegas. Just a little girl survived who later would become a rebel leader.

The characters are too low key to raise any interest, the plot is confusing. The direction is interesting though, and the effects are very good bearing in mind the clear poverty of the budget.

Read Roth's IMDb Biography.

[aaronmocksing1987 · 1/10 · 6 December 2010]

Buwahahahaha...

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, before I begin to review this sh*thole of a movie, I'd like to present with you this fun and amusing little tidbit I found on this website.

Phillip J. Roth - the maker of this movie, has a portion of himself on IMDb. I'm almost one hundred and damn percent sure that, after seeing this load of BS on my television screen, either he paid someone to write up his biography, or he did it himself. It begins by explaining, briefly, his humble beginnings and mentions two movies of which I just rented ('borrowed', if you will, since the place I was getting them from sold them for a quarter). "Both of which have amazingly intricate and well-woven time-travel story lines." If by 'well-woven', you mean, have a crippled man jerking off to a VR pornography device (he browses and smiles wide at the thought of necrophelia for a good moment, before wanting to hit up some ugly blond) and characters wandering around aimlessly around Los Angeles 'wanting' to fight a non-existent war against... nothing in particular, then, alright. You go ahead and believe that. Somehow I can't quite imagine a 'future', in which all robots wear codpieces, suspenders, and Darth Vader helmets.

It goes on to say he "amazingly" writes, produces, and directs this. Uwe Boll, I believe, does the same thing to his movies. And I guess we can all figure out about his own reputation. If this biography is to believed, maybe they should get into the boxing match! Haha HAAA! "Perhaps this injustice," it explains, about why his movies only go to TV and home video, "is because of apathy of behalf of the 'average film fan' who would rather watch some brainless action than 'truly thought-provoking' cinema.'" Obviously this dumbsh*t didn't watch the better robot movies 'Terminator', 'RoboCop', and 'Bicentennial Man'. I mentioned the last one, because it says he's still working. Roth? If you're listening, stop lying to yourself, and quit Hollywood. Quit making movies. Quit everything, and shoot yourself. 'Prototype X29A' is a fitting title, since the whole thing practically borrows everything from every other movie, and adds strippers for recognition.

Notice how his bio was written by 'Anonymous.' Yeah, he totally wrote that. Sorry, chum.

It's got Kato Kaelin in it!

[vdoman-22321 · 3/10 · 3 September 2021]

Remember him from the O. J. Simpson trial? One of his earliest films. This movie has some style to it. The lighting, the editing, the music all has some Miami Vice influences. Too bad the screen play, script, and the acting is so bad. If you are in the mood for an early 90's throwback, and there is absolutely nothing else to watch... well, you've been warned.

This is one of the worst movies ever

[jasperkjaerlarsen-22700 · 1/10 · 2 December 2021]

Some movies are so bad, its funny or intertaining. Some are bad, but with charm or good acting, or story.... This one is just pure BAD... Its more fun to see ice cubes melting, or paint dry out.

Stay away or be prepared to sleep!

Lara Croft

[Brimley · 10/10 · 22 July 2000]

How'd she end up in this movie? It doesn't make sense? Isn't she supposed to be an Indiana Jones type? Then why do they make her sit in front of a computer terminal the whole movie? Sure is a waste of her talents...

Star Wars it ain't (not even Hardware Wars)

[onionhead101 · 25 January 2004]

I saw this quite a few years ago, probably on a Friday night when I had nothing better to do and had no desire to hit the bars--which would have been a better option, considering the movie. I remember being markedly unimpressed by the film, so much so that I woke up at one point and thought, Man is this thing ever gonna end? I remember seeing Kato Kaelin's name in the end credits, but never had the desire to rewind it and look for him. There aren't many films I have fallen asleep during, particularly early in the evening after a good night's rest, but this thing was like a Valium to a guy on Speed. Highly recommended as a curative if you are an insomniac.

Zzzzz.....

[5minutes · 26 February 1999]

Very rarely does there come a movie which I consider to be completely without merit. I even granted Godzilla (1998) some points just for being a fun night out. But this movie... boring in a very special way. If you'd like a guaranteed cure for insomnia, feel free to check it out!

Zero + Zero = Zero

[saint_brett · 21 March 2023]

I was going to watch 'Blood Games' tonight but there's all this foreign writing on the screen, so I'll watch 'Prototype X29A' instead. (What a mistake that was.)

It's set in the year 2057, which isn't that far away. I'll probably be alive and live to see the day? We'll see if their vision of the future is more accurate than 'Back to The Future 2.'

This apocalyptic doozy - 'Prototype X29A' - sees Omega wasteland survivors vs. Prototype spacemen battling it out for the rights to salmon oil, or what looks like the land rights to some Middle Eastern warzone town. It's your basic John Connor resistance fighter's vs Skynet robot forces.

I want to say that the silver spaceman kind of resembles Samus from Super Metroid. Now, there's a movie begging to be made that might bring audiences back to the cinema. Awesome game, awesome score, and awesome story with unusual big bosses.

'Prototype X29A' however, is plain stupid.

It reminds me of Don the Dragon Wilson's 'The Last Sentinel' meets 'Terminator Salvation.'

Looks like Mila What's-her-name from those terrible 'Resident Evil' movies is our protagonist?

Her, and Lou Gossett Jr, discuss what direction their characters go next as no one knows in which direction to go.

A backup dancer from MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" video is presented a Zelda 4 mirror which doubles your power when tossed into a fountain of magic.

A virtual lovemaking program, like the one you see in 'Demolition Man,' sees some underage hippy winding up in an execution device from 'Hellraiser,' or 'Book of Boba Fett.' It's that wet dream inducing sleep chamber gizmo.

What is this movies purpose?

Kylo Ren's mask appears. Doesn't add anything to this either.

The movie's so generic they hired a bunch of Fentanyl addicts to sit around and do nothing when suddenly Van Damme's 'Cyborg' character - whatever it was in that - starts doing karate and breaking necks.

Weren't these the two trench coat wearing dudes from 'I Come in Peace?'

Why are you forced to read all this Commodore 64 text on the screen?

Is that Billy Ray Cyrus?

You know what's a better movie than this? 'Nemesis.' At least you get to see a 90-year-old lady unloading a .45 in that.

This though was filmed with no story aim, or basic sense of direction.

I can only imagine all the actors showing up to shoot their scenes every day and stood around waiting for the director to tell them what to do when in reality he didn't know what he was doing to even begin with.

Who's the baddy? What are we fighting for, or over?

Did the Invisible Man direct this?

There's no premise to report.

Billy Ray Cyrus gets beat up in a wheelchair by a handful of goons.

The MC Hammer backup dancer sells her body for poker chips. Yeah, a wasteland hooker.

To add to the misery of this presentation, the sound just dropped out.

I think my TV is on the fritz? (There was no sound for the rest of the movie.)

But, since this movie isn't going anywhere, I'm just gonna say that this gambling parlor scene has something to do with the sausage from 'Repo Man' and explains how the hotdog meat meets.

All these dudes are fighting over the origins of the sausage in the trunk of the car from 'Repo Man' apparently.

Well, that's my take of it. What would I know - I have no audio?

It's bad enough watching a movie about sausages that struggle to make ends meet but to watch it without sound, you have to presume your own narration of its "direction." Argh yes, direction, which is the key ingredient that's sadly lacking in this silly movie. Plus no sound!

Guess it doesn't matter though as I was sick and tired of hearing that dreary, continuous, drone score in the background.

Billy Ray Cyrus - Mr No Legs - hands the backup dancer a cassette demo and I can read his lips! He says, "Here." Meaning - take this!

Yeah, I'm a lip-reader.

What the demo tape had on it I'll never know?

Make what you will of this scene, but some naked dude has an asthma ventilator mask over his private parts.

I think he's undergoing a program to become the cyber genetic Metroid hunter from the beginning? But, why does he need a breathing apparatus over his doodle for?

I know where this movie's heading.

He'll get suited up and be programmed to kill anybody and everybody.

For what reason? Ask the so-called director for clarification.

It's sort of an episode of 'The Mandalorian.' Same garbage. Can't take any damage. Be outnumbered by hundreds of baddies. Beats everyone at the end.

He does transform into the Metroid hunter and finds his legs again and ploughs through the wasteland street hooker in the torture chamber from 'Book of Boba Fett.'

I got 35 more minutes of this crap to go.

And I haven't even scraped the surface concerning the horrible sunburnt colors of the movie. They pierce your eyes, and make you shield your vision from the bleak settings.

'Prototype X29A' is a dead-end. No plot, No sound. No sense. No budget. No this, no that. I'm gonna have to start awarding these horrible movies their rightful 0/10 ratings. I can't find one scene that's worthy to warrant one point.

Whoever made this movie owes the world an apology.

David Carradine appears at the end waving a gun around and is obliterated into vapor.

A 'Cyborg' Slinger goes toe to toe with the Metroid Bot and is crushed.

Why, or how, this movie gained access to the public from its vault needs looking into.

(The DVD cover of 'Night of The Dribbler' claims that it was locked in a vault for centuries but escaped somehow by a security breach outbreak.)

Billy Ray Cyrus reveals himself as The Masked Singer and melts as a result of removing his helmet while the elements break him down in the tradition of The Red Planet from 'Total Recall.'

Um?

I think I need a new TV.

Do you think any of these movies I watch will improve if I buy a 4K TV?

Or, are they up to 10K today?

You go and buy a 10K and they'll bring out a 20K one next.

Hmm.

Nothing's going right.
