Ape vs Mecha Ape is yet another masterpiece from the Global Asylum team. The military makes a giant killer "Mecha" Ape in order to defend against a giant REAL ape but things go wrong and the russinas (I think) hack the robo-ape and turn it against them. So, they have to release the real giant ape to fight against their own giant robot ape. This has all the standard cheesy Asylum tropes. Their visual effects have been getting better over the last few years, but it varies from shot to shot. Tom Arnold is the only "star" I recognized in this one. I give this a solid 6 stars. It is no Sharknado, but it's pretty good for a movie in this genre.

Here we go again. A new year and its time for a new batch of movies made by asylum and other such companies. Im not bashing them, I quite enjoy them eve if they are bad at certain points. Ill begin with the good. Tom arnold is in this. A great veratile actor. Its a shame he dosent get much screen time as he is the best one here. The acting is not too bad all around, apart from the ones doing accents. Cgi could be better and is laughable when we see mecha ape and the other ape but its still pretty fun all things considered and overall it was a bit of fun. Ape vs mecha ape is another alright syfy movie.

I know. Excessive padding is a staple of almost all SO BAD THEY"RE GOOD movies. It's a given. But the padding in this one really hurts. It's a Deep Hurting, if you know what I mean. For example, a character has to run up several flights of stairs, we get to see her hit every step. And while I enjoy fake scientific jargon as much as the next guy, there are conversations that stretch on and on composed of nothing but words that I'm pretty sure are all made up.

The good news is that the parts that aren't padding are pretty good. The acting is decent ,sometimes good. While there are some actors that look like they're reading their lines directly off cue cards, they're fun to watch. The FX are what you'd expect, quality-wise but they're still fun too.

If you like movies about Giant Apes duking it out with Bad Guys then just forward thru the padding and you'll have a decent time.
