Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman (1987)
Holds up pretty well
If you can get your head into '80s mode' and accept the effects aren't going to be good this movie holds up surprisingly well.
The original cast as always work well, Martin Landau chews the scenery better than anybody ever has, and Tom Schanley fits the bill for a new Six Million Dollar Man. It's a pity that this attempted pilot never got the green light, a series based around Michael could have been a lot of fun and also given Schanley the limelight he has deserved throughout his career.
The mention in another review of the plot moving slowly is true but again it's a case of getting your head into '80s mode' (or before) and enjoying the journey through the set up, character creation, etc.
It won't be for everybody, but if 70s and 80s shows are your thing then I think you'll enjoy it. It is still a lot of fun.
Eruption: LA (2018)
It's terrible but I still enjoyed it
OK so bottom line - this isn't a very good film. That's mainly down to the special effects admittedly, but not entirely. Some of the performances are decent (Tom Schanley is particularly good and believable) but unfortunately some really aren't.
That said, despite it not being a good film I still enjoyed it. If you can ignore the terrible effects, clearly done on a very strict budget, then it's a fun disaster movie. Most disaster movies are best watched with your brain mostly turned off anyway, and that's the best way to watch this one too.
