AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

TheLittleSongbird Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is a terrible movie, but I don't consider it one of the worst movies I've ever seen or one of the worst featured on MST3K. It does at least have Raul Julia, a hugely talented actor who died much too early, who was charming and had some good comic timing. Unfortunately Julia's performance is the only thing that rises above adequate level, the rest is a mess. Everybody else in the cast seem to be going through the motions and look embarrassed with Linda Griffiths pretty much oblivious to everything going on around her and the Peter Lorre knock-off only managed in being annoying. They had next to nothing to work with though, with the characters ranging from trite to stupid, useless also in a couple of cases. And the script filled with childish unfunny humour, catchphrases that don't make any sense and don't get any kind of explanation, vomit-inducingly inane exchanges between characters and stilted and barely comprehensible technical jargon. The story is very confusingly told, the idea was interesting but executed in a way that made it very difficult to follow. Technically, even in this regard Overdrawn at the Memory Bank manages to fail. The special effects/computer images are slapdash at best and really look as though they were made on the cheap, to the extent that makes everything else visually a chore to watch in all honesty. To conclude, terrible but there's worse around in my opinion. 2/10 Bethany Cox

mergatroid-1 A lot of people are trashing this movie, but for a low budget scifi it was actually pretty good. It had an interesting story, the acting was pretty good, and even the effects weren't bad for such a low budget production.I've seen this movie two or three times over the years and I still notice new stuff in it.If you're looking for a not too serious scifi movie to watch some night, or it comes on TV then go ahead and watch it. Julia was a great actor taken well before his time, and the way he manages to stand out in such a low budget affair shows why.

mxlcn Yes, it's a bad movie. The plot is rather strange if even comprehensible. The acting is a little wooden by everyone but Raul, however, can anyone honestly tell me that the direction was anything but impressive? Really, the scene construction and camera dynamics were brilliant and was not seen in movies again for some time to come. It was shot on video, from the looks of it an old Panasonic like I had when I was a kid. Yeah, they over-used chroma key stuff, but nowadays it's considered art, and this movie was avant-garde.I didn't really like this movie otherwise, but I'm giving credit where it is due, and this movies direction and general scene dynamics were definitely ahead of it's time and do not deserve to be coupled with the awfulness of the movie itself.If you are an aspiring director or screenwriter with a vision, take a look at this. If you are only out to watch the greatest movies ever made, don't bother.

gch-5 Dull! Ohmigawd, dull, dull, dull. This movie is so painfully slow-moving, you'll long for the action scenes in "Monster-A-Go-Go" Here's a tip, there aren't any.) Two things first: One, this movie was financed by your public dollars. Two, it was originally aired on P.B.S. And all I can say is, for Gods sake guys, stick to "Antiques Roadshow" or civil war documentaries, or..or..ANYTHING BUT THIS!!Rial or Raul or whatever the Hell his name is (I'm damned if I'm going to go through this thing again to find out)is "The Desk Jockey Of The Future!!" who is being punished for basically being a day-dreamer. So, his brain is put into an anteater to "give him some rest" Thats right, forget the verbal warning, we'll just transplant your brain! Only, a kid on a school field trip (Through a "brain-transplant" facility? We just went to the Hostess Twinkie factory.)swaps his tag, and wackieness ensues. Or, it would in a real movie. In this case, painful, skull-crushing, mind-numbing boredom ensues.Now, since God knows I wouldn't want to spoil the plot(?) for you...many homages are made to "Casablanca", his dead mother shows up, he robs a major corporation of millions of dollars (I'm sorry, "flavo-fibes" or whatever)and many poorly executed 80's computer effects are used.(All done on a Commodore-64, I think)And yet, through all of this, NOTHING HAPPENS!!! You'll find yourself wondering if you remembered to feed the dog, or wash out a clean pair of socks for work tomorrow, because your poor brain will be hiding in the back corner of your skull to escape the relentless tedium onslaught of this film.MST3K took on this film, and even they were beaten. Mow your yard then watch it grow, have a new drive-way poured and watch it set, paint a wall and watch it dry...If you can find a duller way to kill an hour and a half than this film I don't even want to know what it is.
