Tubi Thursday: Nemesis 5- The New Model (2015/2017)

 At long last, I've reached the end of this Series.

This time, Albert Pyun is not Directing and it is the Director of, oh no, the Black Tree Forest Films.

After TEN MINUTES of Opening Credits and a long, LONG text crawl, we see a young woman walk into a Park Bathroom during a fight between Alex and a Cyborg.

She proceeds to train the girl as said girl (as a woman) narrates.
She sends the girl back to the Present to stop the Cyborgs.
Say good-bye to Alex btw- she's gone.

The bad guys apparently won the PR War and present the Cops as villains.
Our Heroine recreates the Intro of the first Film (badly) and then is pursued by Great Value versions of the Cyborg Twins.

She's called an Enemy of the State.
She teams up with a bunch of random people, goes out to the Desert to seek out the man behind the Cyborgs.
Sadly they couldn't get Tim Thomerson back for this.

By the way, this looks like something out of a ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Film...
It all comes down to a battle between Not Alex and the bad guy (but mostly this older lady playing a Cyborg).

I won't SPOIL it, but I will say that it is barely an hour (less when you cut out the filler shots) and that the 1992 Film looks way better.

The End.
I thought that this Film Series couldn't get worse.  I really, really did.

The first one is fun, but bogged down by a complicated Plot and multiple time-jumps.
The second one is fun, but very unoriginal.
The third one was a big old mess, but had a few good moments.
The fourth one was...something.

This is not even a real Nemesis Film- it was basically sold on the cheap by Pyun to the Director.  This same guy either rips off Horror Films (see the Black Tree Forest Films) or makes his own, overt knockoffs (Sleepaway Camp 2(?!?), The Legacy of Boggy Creek) or makes barely disguised rip-offs (Faces of Dying, Return of the Living Dead- Part II- Extravaganza). 
He's also made stuff that is sure to be immediately dated like 5G Zombies, Ebola Rex vs Murder Hornets.

So yeah, I shouldn't have expected much.

The Film looks cheap, feels cheap and only has a funky, but redundant techno/EDM soundtrack.  Enjoy the 'songs,' but don't expect good Action, Plot or Production Values.

Sorry, Albert Pyun.

A final insult of a Film.  If you learn whose Films to avoid, you can make your Tubi viewing much more enjoyable.
