Charlie Derry’s review:
Well I didn't enjoy this at all...
I know you're not supposed to take Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously but I can't enjoy his acting in a film where a serious actor is needed. I spent too much time focusing on him and his dodgey accent rather than the film itself, which consequently was brought tumbling down with his terrible performance. The action was bad, the look was very dated, and I found it hard to engage with the story line. It just didn't interest me enough to appreciate it as the classic sci-fi it's supposed to be.
I for one LOVE this film. It's one of my favourite sci-fi flicks. I completely respect your opinion though, it's obviously not a film for everyone.
