Nemesis 3 - The Decision (Original title: Nemesis III: Prey Harder ) is an American action film with science fiction elements by Albert Pyun . Released directly on video in 1996, the film is the second sequel to Nemesis (1993) and the direct sequel to Nemesis 2 - Retribution (1995).
action
After the cyborg Nebula failed in the second part, the cyborgs send the killer robot Farnsworth 2 (a further development of the opponent in the first part) to find Alex.
Alex wakes up in the desert, but has lost her memory. After a short walk, she meets Farnsworth 2, who poses as a friend and tries to investigate her. However, through the scraps of memory she finds out about him and can strike him down. In a flashback, she remembers the previous events:
People sent a sister of hers to the past to bring her back to the future. Alex's DNA holds the key to stopping the cyborgs. However, her sister is captured by several cyborgs. Left on her own, she tries to free her sister in the desert of East Africa . However, the country is in the middle of a civil war. On her search she meets the mercenary Edson and the former war hero Johnny, who is mentally retarded after a shot in the head . Both help her look for her sister, but are captured by the cyborgs.
Finally, Alex manages to free the two, but Farnsworth sends a drone after them, which destroys their vehicle. Here Alex's memory stops again and she doesn't know what happened to her companions. The answers lie in the future.
The film ends with a preview of part 4 .
background
Parts 2 and 3 were filmed in the same locations in Globe and Miami , Arizona . With Tim Thomerson an actor from the first part can also be seen.
publication
Like its predecessor, Nemesis 3 was released as a direct-to-video production . In the USA it was published on June 18, 1996, in Germany on February 6 of the same year. The film was only released on DVD in German-speaking countries as part of the Nemesis box from Astro Distribution. A laser disc of the film was also released by Astro .
criticism
Like its predecessor, the film was classified as trash by critics. In particular, the amateurish computer effects, the strange form of the flashback narrative (with excerpts from the two previous films) and the boring action scenes were highlighted.
“Nemesis 1 was still quite bearable, but parts 2 and 3 are absolute rubbish, with part 3 also daring to consist of at least a third of flashbacks to part 2. Part 2 and 3 would be filmed in parallel in one go, which you definitely notice. To make matters worse, there is also a fourth part. Awful!!!"
“A flimsy film sequel that has no story to tell, but rather adds absurd action scenes to an attempted film. Interest in this film is to be increased by means of a nested narrative technique, but the annoying soundtrack and the untalented actors only cause trouble. "
