But there's one hope, and that's Garrett (Mark Vasconcellos), a gouvernment agent who has been put to cryogenic sleep before the war, and whom clone Tony (Juan Antonio Devoto) brings back to life now as it seems Garrett alone can save the world. But there are a couple of problems: Basically, Garrett has only one more day to live, and he can't quite remember his past and thus the key to saving humankind. But not all is lost as slowly Garrett starts to remember how he'd been a gouvernment agent investigating TV reverend Hope (Jim O'Donoghue), and how he got betrayed by Piak, who back then was a fellow agent for the gouvernment and nobody knew about his alien heritage yet, how he took an experimental serum that gave him super strength, and how he learned about the preparations for an alien invasion from Virgil (Michael Bertaut), a painter who's really an alien but has turned his back on his race to help humanity. So Garrett inches closer and closer to the solution of everything, but maybe not quickly enough as Piak still roams the countryside, and he's not very happy with humankind's possible salvation ...<p> <p>Now to be completely honest, when it comes to storyline, this movie is a bit over-convoluted and doesn't always make a lot of sense - but that said, at the same time the film is a really fun ride, with plenty of fistfights and shoot-outs, some quite decent effects work, and some fun costume choices. And not only in these costume choices but in everything, <b>The Prototype</b> is pretty much a perfect throwback to 1980s and 1990s macho action B-movies, where the physical always outweighed narrative finesse but everything was done to keep the audience entertained. And that's really what this movie does very well, it's basically a very enjoyable trip. </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2022"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
