In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

If Xanadu and Flash Gordon had a baby, it would be The Apple.I'm a fan of campy, trashy movies, especially musicals. I actually think Grease 2 is a better movie than the original Grease for instance.The Apple is REALLY trashy, in fact I would go as far as to say it has almost no redeeming features. The acting from most of the cast is way below par. Even amateur dramatics societies have better actors than this. George Gilmour in particular as the male lead "Alphie" is appalling. It comes as no surprise that this seems to be his only movie credit... That said, it doesn't help that nobody in this film is given anything in the script that would show their acting "talents". The sets are basically made up of bits of late 1970s Berlin brutalist architecture. Why is it films set in "the future" are always full of grey concrete?! The costumes are of the silver foil standard of future fashions, along with a lot of outfits that appear again to be straight out of the 1970s. Well they do say fashions come and go..The film itself, well its a simple tale of an innocent boy and girl getting sucked into and spat out of the music industry.. Along with some very misguided and in your face biblical references. The ending is truly spectacular. Spectacularly awful that is.The only vaguely redeeming feature of this film is possibly the soundtrack. OK, none of it sounds like the kind of music that was around in the real 1994, but there are some flourishes.I'm giving the film 5 out of 10. It is truly terrible, but a fun watch at the same time.

F you Eve. It's not bad enough you ate the apple, but now you "inspired" something even worse.Never heard of this? Don't worry; I'm sure the cast and crew hope you never will find out about it. And that's sad. As bad as this was, and it was TERRIBLE, it does look like the cast and crew did put their heart into it. For that, I, sadly, have to raise my rating from the easy 1/10 stars to 2/10 stars. But, don't be fooled; this should never be seen. Or heard.Set in the far-distance/past 1994, the world is run by the obvious devil and his gay entourage. Sign up with him, pay 50% of your "earnings," and, I guess, you'll live? And sing. Sing galore. But, wait! Alphie, the Adam of the story, wants to save his love from the evil crutches and……and I spent too much time on this already. It's an old and obvious plot even for 1980 and contains both awful songs and sets and images from the 60s despite being set in the 90s. Maybe they thought it'd all come back again. Let's hope not.True, I'm not a fan of musicals, and this didn't help much. Don't see this, please don't. For the love of all Electric Boogalow, heed my warning.***Final thoughts: Why did I watch it? Funny you shouldn't ask. I had two movies to catch up to eventually listen to that awesome bad movie podcast, How Did This Get Made? This one and Streets of Fire and since that one was first, I plugged that title into my Amazon Prime account. First hit: The Apple. Initially, I thought the title had changed, but upon research I learned it hadn't and though it was weird this would pop up instead of Streets of Fire, this was the other one I needed to see. So…what…the…hell.

I have buddies who are MST3k fans, so I've seen some of the worst films of all time. Outlaw of Gor, Laserblast ,Killer Shrews, the utter garbage on the SciFi channel, and of course, Manos, Hands of Fate.I hate this movie more then all the above. There is simply no excuse for how bad it is. Look at the credits. Some of those people even had TALENT. It looks like when they started, the project had MONEY. But they squandered both.It's so outrageously painful to experience. The off-key singing. The falling apart sets and props. The ridiculous "special effects". The random editing, the sometimes missing audio. The COSTUMES! oh, the costumes...But the worst of course is the writing. It's not *bad* writing, it's EVIL writing. The writers hated you, me,themselves and all of humanity. They hated love, truth, and beauty. The lyrics and dialog of this film are crafted to try and keep you from seeing any other movie ever again. Or listening to music. Or letting someone speak to you.Don't watch this film. Unless you're undead, and face empty, joyless eternity as an animated corpse, then your life is too short to waste any of it on The Apple.
