Gapeman 3

In a desperate bid to save his stranded family from a temporal anomaly, Gapeman must travel to the year 3042. There, he must outwit a futuristic galactic dictator and retrieve a powerful artifact before time itself unravels. Along the way, he encounters bizarre alien species and a wise-cracking robot sidekick who might be more than he seems.

Gapeman 3 was met with a mixed to negative reception, with critics largely panning its nonsensical plot and derivative humor. However, some audiences found enjoyment in its over-the-top action sequences and its earnest, albeit misguided, attempt at a humorous sci-fi adventure.

• A convoluted and unfunny mess that fails to live up to its predecessors.

• The special effects are passable, but they can't save this train wreck.

• Despite its flaws, some viewers may find a certain campy charm in its absurdity.

Google audience: Audiences were largely disappointed with Gapeman 3, citing a confusing storyline and a lack of the original's charm. Some reviewers, however, admitted to enjoying the silly action and the film's unintentional comedic moments.

The production famously faced numerous delays due to an uncooperative animatronic ape that was meant to play a supporting character, leading to the creature being written out of the script entirely.
