It takes far, far too long for Nemesis to show up in Apocalypse, and even when he finally does, he's an outrageously awful botch-job of terrible make-up and CGI effects.

The end result looks more like a high-end Halloween costume that someone spent a few hundred bucks on, and is so blatantly fake that it inspires more laughter than the blood-chilling terror of the video game.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, Nemesis is rarely shown in close-up because director Alexander Witt clearly knew the limitations of what he was working with, but even so, the movie Nemesis is a lumbering mess compared to the intense, fast-moving version from the third video game.
