Tek apparently is a futuristic term meaning "boring".
"Tekwar" is a major snoozefest for anyone except hardcore sci-fi freaks who still insist "Logan's Run" was a good movie. Based on the series of novels ghostwritten for William Shatner, somehow this film got picked up as an equally unwatchable series.
Shatner himself can usually be counted on to deliver up a show saving hammy performance, is unfortunately way too restrained in this. Greg Evigan was okay in the lead (though there is definite evidence that he's following Shatner's direction closely--just look at the way he moves and acts) but not good enough to save "Tekwar". You get the feeling after awhile he'd welcome the appearance of Sheriff Lobo and the Bear.
I had a difficult time getting to the end of this one.
