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
The best of the cheesy 80s Schwarzenegger flicks
Arnie and action in a commercialized coliseum dystopia. Campy one-liners and great visual effects!
