GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

caste78 I'm not considered a professional critic but I have to say that this movie wasn't as bad as some people think, OK, may be some people couldn't hear some parts of the conversations, the sound was very bad, the acting and the effects were pathetic, but, I think the plot saved the moment, it was good, if we had a machine where we could put the bad things and the good things at the same time and it got us a score to say if a movie is good or bad, it'd be fantastic, but, we just have our point of view. Some people think that the special effects are the most important think, others think that the acting is, any way, there are many different point of views about what we expect to see in the film, I think that one movie isn't bad if I can have a good time, doesn't matter if it was made whit 5 bucks or 10000000 bucks, about the sound, acting, direction...let the ACADEMY AWARD(S) critics do their job. I don't know if my girlfriend and I were too attentive to the video but throughout the film we were so anxious for knowing what would happen next shot, we had a good time. This is my opinion

Soluchan I am glad it was a free rental. I was half tempted to scratch the disc to spare the next poor sap 86 mins of his life. I mean seriously, this was crap. I have seen better film student films and much better (ok not MUCH better) films from indie filmmakers in Florida.So I guess this film is Universal in one thing...it sucks!I could just repeat most of what Alkaly from the UK said, but it was all so true. To rehash, the fairly average chicks in the movie didn't even get naked. Oh and the second (the first would be the movie was filmed) most annoying thing was the soundtrack. It sounded like they used a digital answering machine to record the voices.I shouldn't even waste more time writing a review of this movie, but it was that bad I had to clear my conscience and let people know.

ujvary-g This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I would not even call it a movie. I don't know how it is possible to release such kind of terrible crap. I wanted to give 0 points but there is no such thing, unfortunately. The basic story would be OK, but the whole move does not worth a dime. Directing is extremely poor, actors ... I would not even call them actors, special effects very lame and the whole things was... well I don't know what to write 10 lines regarding this movie, it was SOB A D !!!TERRIBLE!Do not ever watch it!

ralphrepo_01 SPOILERS: There have been at least five films entitled "Universal Soldier" since 1971, six if you include "Soldier" [1998]. This one is the latest attempt at name association but has nothing to do with any of those previous better made movies. A squad breaks out of a facility as they're being attacked by experimental Borg like creatures. Though there were some promising aspects to the story (secret super powered cyborg like creatures that ran amok and killed their handlers), the film can't help but shoot itself in the foot with horrible acting, dimwitted dialogue, and a total departure from standard military protocol. Griff Furst, who wrote and directed this, obviously never spent a day in uniform, and he should hire consultants before attempting to use military settings or characters. Draping uniforms onto actors doesn't make a believable army. The interactions of the personnel in this movie are so far removed from the code of conduct of real soldiers, that these actors might as well have shown up at a swim meet dressed in tuxedos. Inotherwords, they're very obviously out of place. Real GI's definitely bitch and moan; but they would never, ever, question a superior officer in the insubordinate manner that these actors do, especially on a battlefield, regardless of the situational stress. The constant bickering between officers and enlisted ranks portrayed here simply isn't possible. Next, the idea that US soldiers will euthanize severely wounded comrades like lame horses is an insult to their integrity. Even if forced by extreme tactical need to leave a wounded comrade behind, they would never kill him to "put him out of his misery" so to speak. In the movie's closing, the sloppy salute from the lone survivor had me rolling on the floor. It was a perfect example of someone never having worn a uniform trying to look the part. Military bearing aside, the film looked as if it was propped by Army-Navy surplus, brimming with leftovers from the last half century, and used liberally in the movie without rhyme or reason. One big goof was having ammunition bandoleers stuffed with empty brass casings; ie. worthless spent cartridges so what's the point in carrying them around? Many of the weapons used belonged to foreign inventories (ie former Warsaw Pact). And the helmets found in one cache was from the WW2 era. Aside from the prop miscues, the acting all around was consistently bad, and interspersed with comically exaggerated "action" figure poses; one guy persistently had his M16 high up in the air as if he were walking through imaginary waist high water all the time. Maybe the director thought it cool; I found it rather ridiculous. The only admirable bright spot was the Bad-a.ssed Terminator-esquire CGI Bot that appeared briefly near the end of the movie. But overall nothing could save this from being a sad reflection on how shallow the film making industry has become. Rating? 02/10 and I'm trying to be generous. Ralph
