——📽Plot:——
A soldier trained from birth is considered obsolete and dumped on a lonely waste planet. A community of defenseless, stranded wanderers reluctantly takes him in.
In a futuristic society, some people are selected at birth to become soldiers, and trained in such a manner that they become inhuman killing machines. One of the most successful and older of these soldiers (Russell) is pitted against a new breed of soldiers, and after the confrontation is believed to be dead. His body is left behind on a semi-abandoned colonial planet, where everything is peaceful, and he is taught about the other aspects of life. Eventually, he has to fight the new breed of soldiers again, this time to defend his new home.
Sergeant Todd (Russell) is a veteran soldier for an elite group of the armed forces of Earth. After being defeated by a new breed of genetically engineered soldiers, he is dumped on a waste planet and left for dead. He soon interacts with a group of crash survivors who lead out a peaceful existence on the planet. The peace is soon broken as the new breed of soldiers lands to eliminate the colony, which Sergeant Todd must defend.

➤ "A good movie in two parts" by chl-68 February 2000
The first two sequences of this movie set up two conflicts: the -thematic- conflict between the soldier Todd and his suppressed humanity, and the -physical- conflict between Todd and his bio-engineered replacement. Both sequences are quite gripping in different ways.
Peoples' screenplay falters somewhat by resolving the first of these arcs halfway through the movie, which means the second half is little more than a straightforward action romp.
Nonetheless, kudos to the makers for creating a genre action piece with heart and even a bit of soul, and especially to Kurt Russell who conveys much with very little.
Not a great film, but one worth seeing.
➤ "If you can't enjoy this on some level I feel sorry for you" by tylerdurden-6674627 February 2022
I'm not going to try to make this out to be something it isn't. This is not a great movie. The special effects are mostly crap, and some are hilariously bad. Kurt Russell says 104 words in the whole movie, or almost $200,000 per word for his 20 million dollar payday for this train wreck. And it doesn't matter. I've probably seen it over a dozen times, and I love it. It's entertaining and has enough action and violence to make it worth your time. Shut your brain off and ignore the naysayers, this is worthy. Kurt is completely jacked and looks the part. And even though he says next to nothing during the whole thing, his brief halftime speech before he goes and kills everyone gives me a chill, every time. As I said, it's not a great movie though. It is, however, a really good time.
