Mimi's Rating: 2 human powered mechs out of 5
An evil entrepeneur wants to resurrect the giant, Aramis so he can take over the world.
The first minute of this movie had me hooked. I don't even know how to begin to describe the madness. Here's a little taste:
The intro gets even stranger after this odd trailer-like opening. Carel Struycken shows up for a hot minute, a man turns his fingers into snakes, there's an amazing giant effect shot, and a man levitates and shoots a Kamehameha at a giant.
Sadly, the middle of the movie doesn't keep up this level of insanity. But what it does have is loads of low-budget cheese. I truly love every cheap prop and special effect featured in this.
The biblical-verse-inspired plot is amusing enough. There are plenty of unintentionally silly things to keep you laughing and some 'great' B-movie acting.
And then there's the last 30 minutes. Let's just say things pick up. We finally get our promised giant mummy action. We also get a bonus treat. It's a human-powered giant mech.
There are about a dozen other crazy things that happen in this movie that I'm not going to get into. Let's just say that if you're a fan of B-movies check this out.
