the leading man is my tpye

Perfectly adorable

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Time travel usually goes wrong. I think all machines designed for that purpose are legally required to have something like that written on a sticker on it. Someone certainly should have told the people of 2072. They decided to mess around with it to... "check out time". With their Advanced Prototype EXploration units(yeah, that *is* a pretty dumb abbreviation), they... well, do so. Apparently. And one of the trips have Nicholas Sinclair going back, because, uhm, something didn't go as planned(...who'da thunk?). He's recently been having nightmares about his wife disappearing by way of a cheap editing trick. This gives him a nasty case of Must Narrate Everything, in spite of the fact that, with two exceptions, what he says, *we already know*. Anyway, he ends up in an alternate time-line where the robots(and yes, there is a nice amount of sequences of humans fighting them in this... and the suits aren't bad, nor is the weaponry on them, with rockets and machineguns) they would send back(to combat the virus that going back in time would create... and they've been programmed to destroy all biological life, I guess... that was good thinking guys, honestly... how could *anyone* think that would backfire?), as these have been constantly been sent back(... automatically? And they keep being made... by who or what?) for 100 years(...wait, we've survived a century of this war?). Don't worry, the people there have figured out how to smash those metal mf-ers into... oh, wait... plus, he meets up with Duke Nukem. Perhaps you've already realized that this script wasn't authored by someone holding a Ph.d. It's pretty straightforward, and the paradoxes don't hold up to scrutiny. Yes, the AI's aim sucks when it needs to. No, the characters are stereotypical. Yes, the lead being in love with this "universe's" version of his spouse(who resembles her by appearance *only*) means he's really superficial. However, if you watched The Terminator and spent the whole time wishing the entire thing was set in the future... well, this is a fix for you. This is 96 minutes sans credits, and most of it is in a post apocalyptic, dystopian future with plenty of explosions, shooting and... well, attempts at tension. The acting is decent. There is lot of bloody violence and disturbing content and a sex scene(not graphic) in this. I recommend this to those that just want to unwind with something like this. 5/10

In opposite to my usual reviews, I won't spend too much time on this one... 'cause, whoever you are(age, sex, etc.) it sucks. Period.BUT - it doesn't mean that we can't enjoy some of its elements!I accidentally fell on used VHS versions of this movie a few times. The cover wasn't subtle, you knew it was B-grade from the very beginning, so it never reached my very heart... Then, one day, I bought a small lot of used VHS movies at 1$CND each, and I included this one: I was curious, that's all.Now that you know how I came to know this piece of poo, here's my opinion: The story is more obvious on the back of the VHS box, than in the movie. But once you get it, it leaves you cold and indifferent. Some Terminator influences can't hide behind this medium-budget production: Metallic humanoids robots with red eye who start to hunt down humans in a post-apocalyptic future, preceded and succeeded by time travels, sick and poor humans living underground, etc.Add a love story to that, a perfect collection of stereotyped characters, a good "made in USA" feeling, fantastic CGI special effects right out of the 90's, armors made from roller-blade protectors, LOTS of identical explosions (which are clearly exploding behind of before the target), a very pathetic, inconsequently and problematic use of "the butterfly effect" theory, all of this obviously taking place in the same repetitive vicinities and played by average actors. You get the idea? Great.As I said earlier, it is not original. But I'm pretty sure that if you take the same budget and the same idea, and give it to any b-grade producer, you couldn't really do better.Finally, if, as I did, you don't take it seriously, you may get entertained a little bit by it's very cliché sequences, but it won't change the fact that this movie still sucks.

I really like the premise of the film; time travel; time continuum violation; a scientist trapped in a violent world. His wife in his own world, is now,in his new world, a tough soldier, stricken with a fatal virus; and she doesn't even like him. He is trying desperately to repair the damage to time, and return the world from that of a violent war zone, beset by robots trying to exterminate all human life, to his own advanced and sophisticated culture. The idea, and the low budget presentation, are intriguing. I do not believe that every science fiction film can or will have a huge budget and expensive special effects. I enjoyed the actors, the acting and the adventure. I was able to immerse myself in the characters and flow right through the film with them. A.P.E.X has a strong plot, excellent continuity, good science, adventure, suspense and lots of excitement. The director did an excellent job of creating a world on the verge of extinction, hanging onto its humanity by slender threads. The only elements I did not care for at all, were the extremely foul language that pervaded the entire film; and the degrading stereotyping of the black soldier. He was a good actor, and had a lot more to offer than that of a modern day ghetto brute. His character could have been rough and crude without being completely obscene. All they had to do was leave out all the bad language. The actor did a fine job with his role anyway. I enjoyed his rendition of his character. I often think that some day, in a more enlightened cultural time frame, we are going to be completely ashamed of the foul language that currently pervades and debases even our finest films. There will possibly be an effort to clean up the old films, and a debate will rage as to whether this is akin to colorization, and destroys the artistic intent of the films. Let us hope. At any rate, A.P.E.X. is an enjoyable science fiction experience, even with the obscenities intact. I recommend it for mature science fiction fans.

Wow! Hold the phone! This is one BAD movie! I bought it for £2.99 in the b-movie section, I suppose you can't ask for much, but this takes the cake!A.P.E.X stars a load of useless actors who I've never heard of before. The evil robots which get sent back in time look like something out of the Power Rangers! Also, the robots I.Q is very low, they stand there in the line of fire getting shot to pieces and don't even attempt to eliminate the enemy! Plus they have really, really bad aim!The group of marines who are sent to kill these evil robots are useless and don't look like professional soldiers at all. They simply stand there in the middle of the carnage which is riddled with evil robots and have a conversation! Oh yeah, and there's one really annoying soldier who has a very serious attitude problem.If your a really big die hard sci-fi action movie fan then you may, like this movie, otherwise forget it!3/10
