Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Elliot James The Terminator had less in common with Harlan's two Outer Limits episodes and more with this Michael Rennie movie Cyborg 2087. This is a fun movie that's technically crude so young audiences would never sit through it.

Leofwine_draca This is a pretty rare example of a low-budget '60s sci-fi movie, complete with all of those technological gadgets which look incredibly laughable and dated these days. In a film where homing devices turn out to be compasses and where time machines look like giant spark plugs, you can't fail to laugh and have a good time. Sadly, what could have been a nice and tight little thriller turns out to be a tacky affair, unable to overcome a low budget and one which ends up just being disappointing.Once you get over the initial disappointment that this isn't going to be very serious entertainment, I'm sure you'll find yourself enjoying the supreme '60s nature of the film, complete with dodgy laser guns (beams drawn on the film, no less), silly silver space suits and a lively score which appears to have been used in a number of other movies since. Michael Rennie finds himself typecast as the cyborg visitor from the future, basically playing the same kind of "stranger" character as he did in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, and it is sad to see him reduced to running around in a space-suit while shooting people with ray guns.Rennie is supported by Karen Steele - an incredibly irritating dumb blonde - and Wendell Corey, who made a living for himself doing these kinds of films and television shows. Elsewhere, a quartet of overage teenagers enjoy themselves by grooving in some snazzy attire - and while there, why not check out their unintentionally hilarious dialogue, which even outdoes I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF for sheer cheesiness! Sci-fi fans may well notice that the plot bears more than a passing resemblance to that of THE TERMINATOR, and this was an obvious influence on that film. One more thing - if you want to see something really funny, check out the two killer cyborgs from the future - Arnold Schwarzenegger they are not! Instead, they look like two camp joggers out on a night-time run, and are some of the funniest characters ever to appear in a movie.

GJValent I saw this flick as a 10:15 pm, Sat. night presentation on a local Chicago TV station. It was presented as a World Premier movie, not just a television premier. This was a minor trend in the mid/late 1960s TV world, preceding made for cable stuff. (A technology of the future.) It may have been regional, but, I recall several movies of the ilk. Probably, theatrical films that were deemed not worthy of standard distribution. Sold to TV as part of standard film 'packages'. Other titles include Dimension 5 with Jeffrey Hunter, and, a few that I can't recall. Anyway, this is not a review, complaint, or thanks. Just some info.

clore-2 Let's see... Michael Rennie plays a cyborg. He is sent back in time by rebels to prevent a scientist from inventing a device that will have an impact upon the future by enslaving mankind. In turn, Rennie is being chased by agents from the future who are intent that he does not complete his mission. A woman in the present day begins to fall for Rennie. Sounds awful familiar to me. The music, as noted by the other comment, will have you rolling, it's from Saturday morning cartoons, you're almost expecting that Hanna-Barbera sound effect when someone starts running. Still, the movie has an above average cast for its low-budget, Michael Rennie, Karen Steele, Eduard Franz (the Jonathan Drake of "Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake"), Harry Carey, Jr., Warren Stevens (Forbidden Planet), Wendell Corey, and even future M*A*S*H star and Mrs. Chuck Woolery, Jo Ann Pflug can be glimpsed.
