Pretty painful to watch as the campy comedic elements were pretty bad, but I can commend it for some impressive effects and even the costumes, Guyver mainly, were fairly impressive, though less lighting would've disguised some of the flaws. Mark Hammil was clearly getting any money at this point in his career post Star Wars. Not the worst movie I've seen by any stretch but one I will not revisit outside of listening to the audio commentaries. **2.0/5**
