Rating: - You need to watch it several times to appreciate it
When I first saw this I thought the film was pretty silly, but now that I've seen it again I see why it's a true cult classic! Paul Verhoeven of Basic Instinct fame has a strange sense of humour. I love the fact that the film is set mainly in Buenos Aires, and the casting for this movie is perfect. All the actors are "robot-like" in appearance, like they've all had facelifts (they probably have). If you're tired and want a bit of mindless fun, this movie will do the trick.
Rating:  - The unintentional 'Airplane' of sci-fi

The removal in the film of the massive air drops by pod and turning it into troopship drop made it a bit weak but the removal from the story of the integral power armour element ... Read More
Rating: - Still good 10 years later
I watched ST on TV the other night having not seen it for a while. I was pleasantly surprised that it still looks good even 10 years later. Despite enjoying the film I had for a long time been critical of the fact that such a technologically advanced society sends lightly armoured foot soldiers in to fight such a deadly enemy. Having watched it again though this makes a lot of sense - human life is far cheaper than developing weapons that are effective. However it does vary a great deal to the Heinlen ... Read More
Rating: - am i missing the point?
i watched this movie on tv a while ago and after having heard good things about it i managed to persuade my parents to watch it to... But... after about half an hour i was shocked at just how cheap this movie is, yh the specail effects are great but the script and acting is awful, its almost unwatchable at times. as i sat on my sofa i slowly slid down trying to hide my face in sheer ebaresment of the film.
i dont understand how u ppl can rate this film 5 starts as its not a bad movie u can love its ... Read More
