Audience Member This is it! The last movie on Craptacular Compilations 2! Taking its namesake from Omega Man and I am Legend, and maybe the last man on Earth style plot as well. I Am Omega is an Asylum made horror movie that does enough to convince me not to shut it off, but never anything more. You can have a man fight zombie/mutants with nunchucks all night long, but with this dreary, lifeless looking film it really doesn't matter. Alright, so, I Am Omega follows a man who thinks he is the last man alive after a virus has turned people into creatures. Zombies with some mutation styles to them. At first, he spends his day going about his routine and slowly going mad, which I do admit was somewhat alright. A bit goofy but I can dig it. Then people start appearing out of the woodwork and our loner main character can't catch a break. The movie then turns into a generic action film as well as a zombie film, and it does it no favors. The action scenes are as dull as the rest of the film, and nothing really saves it in the end. Also if he is worried about being infected by their blood, why does he keep punching the creatures in their faces, which are covered in blood? A fitting end to this compilation and list. A movie that is dry, dull, and lifeless. Just like the creatures it is putting on screen. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The Asylum has produced a lot - and I mean a LOT - of bad pseudo sci-fi/futuristic junk over the past decade+, but 'I Am Omega' does not deserve to be included in that roll call. It's not a good movie either but does a few things right and throws in a few effective jump-scares. For instance in this man vs world of mutants scenario similar to '28 Days Later', Mark Dacascos has some screen charisma. Granted he doesn't have 1/50th the martial arts skills of Tony Jaa but at least he can register an emotion other than 'pissed off'. On the other hand, Jennifer Lee Wiggins the woman survivor he meets is perfectly awful. Two military types also show up, and the landscape of the nearly dead is effectively drawn with good makeup and grisly blood effects. A rudimentary story with one all-time blindingly ridiculous contrivance to have the adversaries meet up again in which a man shot in both shoulders and the leg is able to push, yes PUSH, a car out of the city, pass out, and wake up in time to see his enemy's van speed by! All told, I've seen worse episodes of 'The Walking Dead'. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not worth a watch and not worth a second of thinking about watching it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A low budget ripoff of I Am Legend, Omega takes more from the Will Smith story treatment than the source novella. About the only thing that makes it watchable is the engaging energy that Dacascos, Iron Chef "Chairman" and a prolific character actor and martial artist, brings to the lead role. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review don s This is one of those "so bad it's good" movies. Starring Mark Dacascos (the Chairman on Iron Chef America), I had trouble taking it seriously from the start, and it is played straight, not for laughs. It is almost a complete rip-off of I Am Legend. There are several scenes where he has his shirt off and is practicing martial arts, which he rarely uses on the zombies. The effects are okay and the zombies move quicker than in other movies. Dialogue is horrid, and the love story is so cliche and unrealistic. I still enjoyed it. "Today's secret ingredient: flesh! Allez Cuisine!" Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I Am Omega is a retarded, nonsensical zombie film trying to cash on the success of I Am Legend. The story is corny, the acting is over-the-top, there's gory violence and zombie mayhem...and I liked it! It's dumb as fuck, but that's part of the charm of watching it and at least I wasn't bored with it unlike most other films made by The Asylum. I got plenty of zombie mayhem, and for that, I was satisfied. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
