Review of Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe (1990) by Tim S — 17 Apr 2013
Where, oh, where did I go so wrong in my life that I ended up having to watch Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe? In all seriousness, this isn't a good movie, but any means. It does have people in it like Sven Ole Thorsen though, who was a working actor and was a Schwarzenegger regular at the time.
There's also a surprise appearance by Jim Belushi, who's in one scene and then disappears from the movie. The plot is sci-fi claptrap that isn't penetrable. You sort of get what's going on, I suppose, but the motivation behind it is unclear.
It doesn't help that most of the performances are terrible, and the film looks like it was shot in an ink well for the first twenty minutes or so. I just saw it recently via Rifftrax and even they had a difficult time getting through it unscathed.
It's just a boring movie with not much in it, and not much reason to really care.
