I'm currently halfway through the Decrepit Crypt of Nightmares 50 Movie Pack and just got around to watching this one. Throughout my many hours of watching this pack of films, I can only recommend one thing: do not buy these movies individually. Some of the films are decent surprises that I've stumbled across and others are simply painful to endure. About 25 movies in, I can honestly say that the five dollars spent on the set is well worth it. It's the experience of trekking through 50 low-budget horror flicks that makes it worth your money. Again, I can not stress enough that the films are not worth their individual prices or the shipping and handling that you'll have to pay for them.

Now that my rant is over, let's focus on Prehistoric Bimbos in Armageddon City. Everything about the movie is truly awful. It's not "so bad, it's good" but just plain terrible. First things first, the production quality of the film is just abysmal. Even for a 1991 direct-to-video flick, the audio and visual components leave a lot to be desired. When the opening title came up for the film, I swear that I thought I was about to play a video game on the old-school NES.

It's incredibly obvious how low-budget the movie really is once the action starts. The robot monsters look like they were stolen from a high school play, the costumes seem to be stolen from The Flintsones, and the director has seen one too many episodes of "The Power Rangers" infused with cheap post-apocalyptic movies like 1990: The Bronx Warriors. The acting in particular is atrocious with various members of the cast reading their lines directly off of cue cards. Characters attempt to break the fourth wall by looking directly into the camera and addressing the audience. Various references are made to Alien 3 (WTF!?!) and a potential sequel which I thank God was never made. This is (sadly) their idea of humor.

It really says something about Prehistoric Bimbos in Armageddon City when it is one of the worst films in a 50-pack of "no-budget" horror flicks. Even most bad films have their charms that allow you to get through them with some type of mild enjoyment. This film is just an exercise in torture that is easily one of the worst that I have ever had to endure.
