## Resource

This week, Myopia Movies kicks off an AI-themed month by diving straight into the bargain bin with A.P.E.X.—a time-traveling, robot-infested mess that wants desperately to be The Terminator and somehow ends up worse than a Power Rangers outtake. Nick, Matt, and Keiko try to untangle a plot involving killer robots, alternate timelines, a mystery virus, and a scientist who may or may not be responsible for ending humanity… repeatedly. Along the way, they wrestle with nonsensical time travel rules, questionable acting, baffling production choices, and the lingering question: why are they still sending robots? Is there a good movie hiding somewhere inside A.P.E.X.? Could a few tweaks have made it work? Or is this just pure, uncut 90s sci-fi chaos? Plus: Mockbusters before mockbusters were a thing The economics of bad CGI vs. hiring actual actors Nostalgia vs. reality (was this ever good?) And one of the bleakest conclusions yet: a movie so bad… it barely exists Final verdict: Skip this and just watch literally anything it’s ripping off. 🎙️ Thanks for listening, subscribing, and supporting the show—see you next episode (assuming this one didn’t break us completely).
