 Written on February 10, 2006 Summary: If you like this movie, you'll love the Special Edition DVD! Well, most people who are going to buy the DVD are probably familiar with the movie anyway, so I won't repeat the plot. Watching it again after several years, I really have to say it's one of the better movies of the action genre, especially when you consider that you have people doing the stunts instead of lots of CGI like in today's movies. As for the entire Special Edition DVD itself -- it has some great extras! Much better than some of the offerings I've seen on other DVDs of movies that were released in the era of VHS and you just didn't get extras, period. A "making of" featurette, interviews with Lundgren & Van Damme, and an alternate ending to the movie -- all fairly substantial material, too --not just tacked on afterthoughts. I was surprised to get so much on this DVD for such a great price!  Written on February 2, 2006 Summary: Don't waste your precious lifetime on this One of the worst sci-fi movies ever. Pitiful scenario, a shoot'em with no joy stick!  Written on February 1, 2006 Summary: Universal Soldier My kind of movie, mindless violence. Lots of explosions and action scenes. It seemed a little dated, special effects have come a long way since 1992. Van Damme plays his usual role (macho man), so you know what to expect. Not a great movie, but if you just want to escape for an hour and a half, it will do the job.  Written on October 2, 2005 Summary: Underrated Effort This movie doesn't proclaim to be anything more that what it actually is, a leave-your-brain at the door action flick starring two of the biggest b-movie tough guys the 90's had to offer. Granted nobody's going to win any acting awards for this film, but Van Damme and Lundgren are fairly convincing in their roles (although Van Damme's farm boy roots were a little hard to believe). Everyone knows the plot involving two deceased Vietnam soldiers brought back to life as part of a covert super soldier program, so I won't go into any more detail there. What I will state is that if you accept this film for what it is, then it succeeds on almost all levels. There are plenty of explosions, awesome fight scenes, well placed one-liners, and dark humor to keep any action movie fan entertained. Dolph Lundgren, who plays the villain, provides a lot of the films jokes as he morbidly delights in inflicting pain on others. Van Damme once again plays the underdog, but he is earnest in his desire to make his way home so you can't help but root for the guy. The "Special Edition" DVD has some nice bonuses including commentaries by the two leads, the alternate ending (why this bizarre ending was filmed is a mystery to me), a making of documentary, and a look at Van Damme and Lundgren's backgrounds. This was my favorite featurette because it revealed all sorts of fascinating tidbits about the two stars. For instance, Lundgren has a masters in chemical engineering from MIT! Who would have guessed? In closing, this DVD is well worth the cheap price for any action movie fan. Written on October 1, 2005 Summary: very swarve and cool This film ticks all boxes to be honest, action, comedy, emotion. Im not going to tell you what its about because it already tells you by amazon. This film is very swarve and cool because of the storyline, the way the soldiers dress, walk and act. Dolph lundgren plays the part of andrew scott very well. By far the best character. I love the start of the soldiers being ressurected. The funniest part was when van damme. luc devreaux was eating in the cafe, he wants more and more food. its absolutely hilarious. Also where one of the soldiers eats a lump of raw meat in the supermarket. The best character in this movie is Andrew Scott (lundgren). he is one of the all time best baddys in my book. This film is extremely under-rated. 5/5 for me no doubt. recommended to anybody that likes good films. |
