Classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, even though it’s a very loose adaptation.
An Arnie classic. A dystopian future action hero with lots of thrills. Worth it if you love the 80s
So 80s sci-fi fantastic! The 80s idea of the future is the best part of this movie
Spandex, cheesy one liners, explosions, synth music, outrageous plot, bad acting make for a perfect 80’s action. Richard Dawson is the star
Good solid Arnold movie from the 80s. Nothing fancy, just plenty of action and one-liners. 👍🏼
I will admit that nostalgia is definitely playing a role in this score, but the reality TV satire hits way harder today.
Over-the-top and smartly written, with some of Arnie’s best one-liners
A well done action flick that still holds up. The effects are pretty great and so is the story. Richard Dawson was perfectly casted. Awesome
Arnie and action in a commercialized coliseum dystopia. Campy one-liners and great visual effects!
The best of the cheesy 80s Schwarzenegger flicks
