Manborg
Dir: Steven Kostanski
2011
**
The synopsis 'Futuristic sci-fi with old school style effects' makes this look like the best film ever. It's not. I liked the cheesy script and the idea behind it but if you want to film something that is essentially an ode to all the great 90's low budget Schlock classics then you seriously need to hold back on the 'worst CGI effects I have ever seen'. For a film that has been made by a celebrated art director and a talented make-up artist, you'd have expected better, even on a small budget. The trailer for Bio-Cop, a film that isn't real ala Grindhouse, is far Superior and makes you wonder, why the hell didn't they make that instead?
