What's It About?
73 years after Alex failed, humans have lost the Cyborg Wars and they are now slaves to the cyborg masters. Rebel scientists have developed a new DNA strain which could signal the end of the cyborgs, and it is injected it into a pregnant volunteer.
When the cyborgs learn of the woman and her baby, both are listed for termination. To escape, she steals a cyborg ship and is transported back in time to East Africa in 1980, where the mother is killed but the baby is saved. It takes 20 years, but a cyborg bounty hunter named Nebula eventually locates the young woman, named Alex, and travels back in time to terminate her.

Video/Audio
Presented in Pyun's preferred aspect ratio of 2.10:1,
NEMESIS 2 looks good. There is some filtering going on here but not that much. There is some grain which is always nice. Colors look great too with the golden brown of the desert being a highlight. I am happy with this transfer and fans should be too.
The included 5.1 and 2.0 tracks sound just fine. Nothing great but they aren't bad either.

Nemesis 2 in 16:9 (1h 24m, HD, 1.78:1) This is the exact same version as the main version of the film. This time it's in a different aspect ratio as the film was shot open matte and then matted to 2.10:1 as this is how Pyun wanted the film framed. This version leaves the mattes off.

____________________________________________
Overall
NEMESIS 2: NEBULA is a goofy-as-hell flick that embraces this goofiness wholeheartedly. The film is a fun watch but put your expectations fairly low. It is a "running through the desert" film and not much more.
The blu-ray, from Digidreams, is pretty good. Picture quality is surprisingly good given the company's love of DNR and the special features are fun. I would recommend this, especially to fans of Albert Pyun (RIP)
