The PsyBorgs

About This Movie

The PsyBorgs, from 2019, is an interesting slice of low-budget sci-fi. Set in a rather bizarre interpretation of the future, specifically 2004, we have the nefarious General Blight and his grand aspirations for galactic domination. What’s intriguing here is the group of psychic heroes—The PsyBorgs—who are more than willing to thwart his plans. The practical effects have this charming, homemade quality that adds to the offbeat atmosphere of the film. The pacing is a bit uneven; it has its slow moments but really picks up when the action rolls in. The performances vary, with some actors really leaning into the campy nature of it all. It’s distinct for its oddball premise and the eccentricities that fill every scene.
