I was first introduced to this movie on late night TV. It's a silly little yarn about a computer genius that is able to "uplink" to his PC and do all sorts of computer related stuff. Like instantly diagnose and fix hardware issues, force the traffic lights to change and even steal money from ATMs. You know, things we thought were possible back in the 80's.
This mountain of cheese really takes off when an evil sorcerer played by B-movie legend Richard Moll kidnaps the computer guy's girlfriend and he must survive something like 8 different challenges to get her back. But he won't be alone in this, he can bring with him his computer or "magic machine" as the evil Mestima calls it. It's quite conveniently been turned into a set of bracers that can do computer stuff like fire lasers. Yeah, that's more or less their only function.
So what happens is he's transported to a dozen different worlds or however many it was, and he needs to fight the big bad there and you'll never guess how he defeats them all. He defeats them with his laser. Every single one. Big rock statue? Laser. Mad Max type post-apocalyptic future? Laser. Evil monkey demon thing? Laser. The hair metal band WASP? Laser. The beauty of this is that each scene was directed by a different guy and as far as I know they all went on to make Full Moon entertainment. We're talking Charles Band, David Allen, John Carl Buecher and more.
In the end it's a dumb goofy movie where you just sit back and enjoy the 80's cheese.
score 5/10
