Researchers of a small particle accelerator discover that a particle can be sent back in time, and they theorize that it can be used like a gun to kill people in the past and change the present.

While it's a good idea, it feels pretty low effort.

An old man is surprised to learn has has 19 year old daughter, who becomes embroiled in a web of vengeance and violence set against him.

I really like this movie. It might play out as too flat for most people, but for me the character was well-crafted and acted.

Like few movies, He Never Died explores age and power at its extreme. Fans of Interview with the Vampire - (1994 movie), for example, should appreciate such elements.

I'm really not sure what's going on. I think I was watching resistance fighters struggling against cyborg overlords.

Pass hard; God dman. I'm leaving that typo in.

Like a bad fever dream, even more were sent back in time to collect information on her and possibly kidnap her.

Most scenes have the film equivalent of crayon scribbled over them, the writing is bad, the dialog is bad, the acting is mediocre, the scenery is awful, the effects are overwhelming, the audio is terrible, the music is okay in places.. it's just an hour and a half of suffering.

To escape a ruined future, a genetically-enhanced child is sent back in time to grow into a She-Hulk who is too ugly to date, let alone procreate, so I'm not sure why a cyborg is sent after her.

Wow this is a special kind of bad. The first is pretty good, and incredible in comparison to this. Well, it's part of a series so let's continue suffering through them all!

  • Trailer
  • Inappropriately-rated; Rated R but no blood or swearing. I guess it's for showing some thong-butt.

It's interesting, but I wouldn't really recommend it if you like movies that make sense.
