    I like Russell and his Carpenter movies but this just misses the mark. Nice idea and nice effects cant really save it from being alittle dull and alittle dodgy looking in places other than in space. If Arnie had been in this it could have been huge.

    Panned for Kurt's lack of dialog but he was a soldier and damn good one too. I thought his face did a great job portraying someone who never delt with emotions befor. There's even a backstory to the film. The battle of Tsnhuser Gate is mentioned twice and that should mean somethi...( read more)ng to fans of Bladerunner.

    Good action film, Kurt Russell trying to break a hip before it's all over. Gary Busey before he completely went insane.

    Showing no emotion in whatever situation he encounters and racking up kills on any planet his soldiers conquer, Todd (Kurt Russell) is the ultimate weapon. He like many others of his regime were bred from newborns to be the perfect killing machine. They were the top in their fiel...( read more)d until they were replaced by a much better soldier genetically engineered in every way possible. Abandoned on a waste planet and left for dead, he was taken in by the local refugees and made as one of their own. They slowly show Todd what it is to be human and he starts to realise there is more to life than just death. He also proves to his superiors that he really is the true Soldier.

    HA - It has been bugging me for years where I knew Malfoy Sr. (from Harry Potter), He played the sniveling SOB jackhole general in this movie. I fear he has been typecast as the ultimate douchebag. Kurt Russel, the star, got packed up and has maybe six lines throughout the movi...( read more)e. Decent action, fair story.

    Haha! I finally found this movie at Movie Stop for 4 dollars. I've loved it since I was a wee little one.

    Kurt Russell was all kinds of awesome. He never, ever put too much into his emotions or too little. His portrayal wasfreaking impressive and his cold face, perfect.

    The...( read more) concept is facsinating and wonderfully unique. So, shut your gabbers you haters.
