Hey, hey, sorry for taking so long to start, but I thought this would be a fun reference. Today we are dismantling the unisols, let’s go.
I didn’t dream. At all. Yes, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care at all. Nothing COULD have bothered me because I was a unicrol. Universal critic. And a universal critic should not have emotions. Excitement is people’s priority. I was a CRITIC. For me there was only one thing – to tell people about different films and bask in the positives. Telling people about different films was the meaning of my life. The franchise or film received for review must be reviewed. That’s all I knew. My whole life – if, of course, it could be called life – fit into short patches of wakefulness and watching films, interspersed with a dream as vast as an ocean. Sometimes something woke up in me. Some color pictures. They swarmed in my head like a stream of bright festive confetti, but never formed into something understandable, did not gain the inviolability of real memory. And that’s why they didn’t touch me, and sometimes even annoyed me, because a bear with a machine gun could have been drawn better. Perhaps it was memories, but I didn’t know such a thing. I had no memories, because memories, again, were something inherent in people, and although I looked like a person, I actually wasn’t one. I didn’t even have a name, just a code – “imelman-44”. Here’s what was needed for optimal performance. Code and tell people about different films. I could not feel pain, I was not afraid of the injuries received as a result of watching Russian cinema. I perceived the world around me through the prism of a dispassionate video camera. And it was not peace in the sense that people understand it. There was a stopgame, film search, watching dog trainers, the Kinematograph community, a training ground for completing the task assigned to me. Successful execution. There were no impossible tasks for Unicrol. Reviews of films and directors were only divided into two categories – easy to do and difficult to do. But in both cases I acted clearly and confidently. From the people’s point of view, Unicrol accomplished the impossible. And this was one of the main differences between man and the universal critic. Unicrol could do things that were beyond the power of humans, but in turn, humans had an advantage over the universal critic. They lived, thought and made decisions about what to watch THEMSELVES. Based on your own desires and needs. Unicrol only received and carried out orders for analysis. He was a doll. Mannequin. People call it "movie nerd". Having completed the analysis, the universal critic returned to his dirty apartment and lost himself in a long, black, dreamless sleep. A special bottle of Ochakovskoe beer erased from his memory all the events of the previous day, and when he woke up to perform the next analysis, he no longer remembered anything. At all. I was alone. One strong excellent critic with excellent qualities for my work. While in a waking state, unicrol could watch films of any quality, give ratings without fail, perfectly classify any director, quickly respond to comments, run from haters, withstand incredible mental stress, sometimes joke funny with memes, in a word, do everything that is necessary for the successful completion of the task assigned to me. The only thing UNICROL NEEDED was cold. Icy cold. Otherwise, he could have died from overheating of the seat. A special sensor was attached to my hand, signaling the need for cooling. If the red light on the sensor came on and the beep started beeping, I was obliged to return to the freezer. This happened if I watched bad movies for more than a day without refrigeration. This happened extremely rarely. The dog handlers monitoring my life tried to prevent this from happening. Overheating of the seat could lead to the death of the critic, and this meant colossal losses in the Cinema community. One unicrol cost the stopgame administration fifty million tenge and a hundred profile pluses. Therefore, my condition was monitored very carefully. For security reasons, sensors have been implanted into my body to indicate what I’m currently looking at. I was under the control of a special laboratory located in the apartment of Dmitry Kungurov, adapted for these purposes. There was also a special minibus at my service, thanks to which I could quickly find myself in any cinema in any city. Now the minibus is heading to Dmitry Kungurov’s apartment. In her womb that smelled of dirty socks, frozen in a cold high chair, I slept. An analysis of the “Universal Soldier” franchise was waiting for me in the apartment. I was ready.
All franchises go to heaven – Universal Soldier (1992 – 2012)
How it all started: And it all started with a certain man named Roland Emmerich. In those ancient times, that is, in the early nineties, Roland was known not as a lame director who only knew how to make jokes and suck the signs of a good actor out of Gyllenhaal, but as no one. Well, that is, a downright first-class no-name director who has directed a couple of murky science-fiction films (It’s worth noting, with decent special effects), but otherwise does not stand out in any way from other no-name directors. However, I wanted to shoot. I also wanted to eat poop with milk and snort cocaine from the butts of minxes. At the same time, a certain Andrew Davis was preparing to shoot the science fiction action film “Universal Soldier” in order to show that his career was not inspired by “The Fugitive” alone. The project was chosen to match – a long-term construction project, which managed to change the script twists, directors, actors a couple of dozen times, and in general was seen as a kind of Frankenstein’s monster, which no one really counted on. But a problem crept in – Van Damme, who was actually European, was famous in those days for his bad temper and generally poked his ChSV at all possible pugs. In order to prevent the actor’s reproductive organ from poking into all sorts of interesting places, the studio quickly fires Davis and hires Emmerich, citing something like “Well, they’re both Europeans, they’ll work together anyway, after all, Europe is one country where everyone knows each other, and if anything, then Lundgren will drag him in and we’ll film it anyway.”. And quite unexpectedly, the guys worked together and finally released their twenty-millionth epic in 1992 – “Universal Soldier”.
Universal Soldier (1992)
About sho:Vietnam, 1969, the first skirmish between two American soldiers – Luke and Scott: Luke cannot shoot at unarmed people, but Scott is ready to kill and kill with inhumanly furious cruelty, as evidenced by a necklace from the ears he cut off from the Vietnamese. Years later, Luke and Scott again find themselves in the same unit – a special unit of “universal soldiers” who are sent to carry out the most dangerous tasks (for example, eliminating terrorists).
You can try to kill the “universal soldier”, but he will rise again and again, and if necessary, scientists working on a top-secret military project will revive the seriously injured “universal” in a special laboratory. However, even knowing this, Scott, with the tenacity of a maniac, will pursue Luke in order to meet him in a decisive duel of life and death..
There is an epic fight between Van Damme and Lundgren. And he’s epically EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
What’s up:This is where I would like to start harping on the topic “My God, they knew how to make action films before, not like those Transformers and Fast and Furious movies of yours,” but no. I sadly state the fact – now “Universal Soldier” looks a little bland. This is a straight-as-a-stick action game, based on a rather amusing idea (This idea will never be developed, except for the squeals of “WE ARE UNISOLS TOO PEOPLE, HONEST, WAR NEVER CHANGES, GOOKS EVERYWHERE”), which results in standard catch-up shooters from the nineties, and it stands out from the pile of its kind with only one simple fact – DAMN, HERE IS VAN DAMM BATTLE WITH LUNDGREN, THIS IS ALMOST AS COOL AS IF SCHWARTZ AND WILLIS FIGHTED! And this is truly cool – in the final action scene, all the guys gave their best, which makes this fighter look incredibly cool and emotional even now. The rest is pretty standard. Unisols are running, shooting, Van Damme is shaking his muscle, Lundgren is acting like a villain (I’m serious, he turned out to be a wonderful villain), but somehow there is no spark, a typical not-so-bad action movie straight from the nineties, which would have disappeared in the whirlpool of times if not for the actors. And I really hate to say this, seriously, I was quite a fan of this film during the period of peeing in my pants. Roland Emmerich is definitely cramped within the framework of a modest sci-fi action movie, which is why he gave us a standard set of action scenes, seasoned it with charismatic actors, and that’s all, actually. But nostalgia is a great infection, so, so that you don’t bomb, they say, covet the sacred, let’s end on a high note – ten out of ten, nineties, Suponev, dandy, Van Damme, there was a time, the grass is greener, now they don’t do that, these John Wicks of yours are not even close.
And still not really, watch the film at a conscious age and reject nostalgia. And as for the possible complaint, they say, what did you want from an action movie in the nineties, an old movie, I’ll say one thing – “Hard Boiled” came out the same year, so don’t push.
Is it worth watching: In principle – yes, but don’t expect much, the film is pretty moldy. But in general, it’s really nothing, although nothing outstanding.
So, the film came out and… and the critics agreed with me, because the film was a little trashed. Everyone noted that Van Damme and Lundgren were cool, but everything else turned out pretty mediocre. But in 1992, both the first and the second were on horseback, so “Universal Soldier” brought a lot of money to its creators, something like a hundred million green money, and even sales on video, and even TV. In general, some people bought themselves a new yacht, Roland Emmerich received a springboard that allowed him to further create big explosions and create mayhem, our action icons did not disgrace themselves, and the studio felt very, very pleased. Well, since the film paid off, give me a sequel! The sequel is big, for 45 million, without Lundgren, but with a still cheerful Van Damme, a cool sound, a lot of musclemen, a lot of action, and even… oh, no, this is a cheap TV sequel from the Canadians.
Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms – 1998
Plot twists and turns of the sequel you didn’t even know about:Brothers in arms: no memories, no feelings, no pity. But one of them decided to become human again. Luc Deveraux, who against his will became a participant in the secret government program "UniSol" and the journalist Veronica must thwart the sinister plans of the project leaders – the mysterious "Mentor" and his insidious and cruel assistant Mazur, who are planning to create their own army of universal soldiers. In this dangerous matter, Luke and Veronica have a reliable ally – Luke’s older brother Eric (. ), imprisoned in eternal sleep in one of the Uni Sol laboratories..
Why are you rolling out lame screenshots where the action is??! There is no action in the film.
Actually: But, in fact, you can’t understand what I’m talking about here, but I’m explaining to you – the Canadians quietly put together a sequel to “Unisols” in order to rake in a little babosia against the backdrop of the soon-coming “true” sequel. The irony is that this is not some kind of theft from the original, this is a film made with the blessing of the creators of the original, that is, canon and all that, so I can’t miss it. IiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNIIIIIIIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIInes. This is a canonical example of an action movie for TV, on the set of which people seemed to be bothered, because the armor of the unisols is very high quality, and the action is not that much worse than the original, but due to the lack of talent, their troubles did not lead to at least a slightly acceptable result. First of all, we’re not having an action movie here. We have here, THERE THERE SOOOOO, almost a melodrama. Yeah. I’m serious. There is only five to ten minutes of action in the film, the rest of the time we listen to intimate conversations about the difficult fate of the unisols, and look at the exchange of gloomy glances, which seem to emphasize the seriousness of what is happening. Is it worth explaining that the local obscurantism looks a little boring?? Need I explain that it was so boring that at times I found myself in a parallel universe where I watched an excellent action movie?? That’s it. But the actors, BY THE WAY, are nothing at all. True, Andra West’s acting can be made into Pinocchio (Like she’s a log, gygygygygygyyyabdo), but the rest, especially for a TV movie, are really nothing. Mette Batalha does bulging body parts very courageously, and Gary Busey and Burt Reynolds are just gods, so it’s nice to see them everywhere. The script is single-celled, in the best traditions of TV sequels of famous films, and even smacks of schizophrenia, because here Mentor is stirring up almost troubles in the style of “Umbrella”. All this does not negate the fact that “Band of Brothers” is a boring and cheap movie, openly parasitic on the topic, but it definitely brightens up the viewing. But who will watch this garbage except your humble servant?
Is it worth watching: MUHAHAHAHAHAHA Nongamstop-casinos.uk (No)
Budgets… audiences… critics… HA, what are you talking about?? This craft passed by absolutely everyone, and the few who looked at it were not impressed at all; accordingly, you won’t find anything other than a restrained “Phi” about “Brothers in Arms”. And now, finally, it’s time for a proper sequel. With Van Damme, with a budget of 45 million, with a cool sound, and even… oh, no, this is a Canadian cheap TV threequel to the wretched Canadian cheap TV sequel "Universal Soldier".
Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business
At this time, unisols in Canada: They’re back in action, and they’re more dangerous than ever! Former universal soldier Luke Deveraux and his charming ally, journalist Veronica, are trying to stop Mentor, who, with the help of his army of perfect UniSol fighters, is planning to steal a billion (. ) dollars.
To deal with Luke and Veronica, in the super-secret UniSol laboratory, on the orders of Mentor, they create a new, improved universal soldier – GR87, cloned from the remains of Eric Deveraux (there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO unexpected twists there).
Screenshots of the action still haven’t been delivered. But there is action in the film, honestly.
Actually: To your silent question “What? Also a threequel?“I answer – yes, also a threequel. But. BUT. There is one “But”. The threequel was filmed by the same people, in parallel with "Brothers", and was released almost immediately after them, from which we conclude that the entire budget was left for the threequel, in order to go on a high horse and bang like a child. Let me state a fact: there are a lot more shootouts in the film. I state fact number “2” – it didn’t get any better. Definitely, there was some kind of dynamics in the film, and the action itself, making allowance for the TV format, was really nothing (Second-rate to the point of horror, but still). And here once again the exclamation “HOWEVER”. However, the schizophrenic plot with the dead brothers of Luke Deveraux, the constant wanderings of the main characters in incomprehensible investigations kill even this dynamics, giving a significant part of the running time to the same gloomy looks and empty dialogues. I’m glad that the director tried to film something worthy, but you won’t be satisfied with efforts alone, you don’t have to try, but do it. It would be better if they didn’t shoot two parts in parallel, but made one film – modest, but at the limit of possibilities. And so – sad, boring, why am I wasting time on this? Even the actors suddenly became bored, having stopped pleasing the astonishing viewer with streams of charisma and completely disconnected from reality; accordingly, we see sad pugs who mumble their dialogues and occasionally shoot (They shoot cheerfully. True rarely. But cheerfully! But cheap. But cheerfully. ). One question hangs over all this obscurantism – why?? Why waste money on films like this?? Did you really get so drunk that the game was worth the candle?? Don’t think.
Is it worth watching: MUHAHAHAHAHAHA (Well, in general you can, just be careful)
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it, I won’t torment you anymore. The threequel was rolled across the vast Canadian steppes, everyone hated it and forgot about it. And then, finally, HE arrived. Big. Hollywood. Sequel. With Van Damme, who managed to go bad, but still Van Damme, and not incomprehensible Canadian scumbags, with a decent sound, and even… okay, I was joking, a normal sequel really came out. Is he normal?? This is a different question, at least the sequel is real.
Universal Soldier 2: Return (Universal Soldier: The Return – 1999)
Meanwhile, American unisols have:The Universal Soldier is the ultimate cybernetic killing machine, a fearless warrior who knows no pain or fear. Luke Devaro was once one of them. Now, as a technical expert, he is working on creating new invincible robots in human form, the next generation of cyborgs.
The secret project is approaching its climax, but at this moment the supercomputer, which controls an entire army of universal soldiers, goes out of control. He finds himself an invulnerable body and leads a legion of perfect killers. The perfect weapon created by the government to protect people turns against humanity. And no one is allowed to know what is happening inside an uncontrollable car. Besides, who has already been her once..
Just a screenshot of an explosion. After the Canadian revelations – divine.
What’s wrong again, film critic: Yes a lot of things. Scolding Canadians is not respecting yourself, they had budgets the size of two sandwiches. But then. 45 million! Then why is the normal sequel not far removed from its Canadian counterparts??! And here’s why –
Well, here’s why – well, they didn’t try at all. If anyone doesn’t know, then 1999 is the year when Van Damme smoothly transitioned from icons of the action genre to a low-level “B” category actor, from which we see on his face the maximum possible disinterest in what is happening. Mick Rogers, the director, tried even less, because he is the video director, and in the first days of filming it turned out that making a film for 45 million is, COMPLETELY UNEXPECTEDLY, not the same as making another music video. But the little man decided to break the system, so we have a clip style of filming, a complete inability to present an already idiotic plot, and some kind of epic reluctance to work with local acting talents. Okay, Van Damme, he’s depressed, but the rest are just wandering around the set, saying dialogue with an expression of slight surprise on their faces and generally looking a little lost at this celebration of life. The film simply falls apart, becoming a jumble of scenes tied together with white threads, explosions and shootouts. Plot? Pfffff. Van Damme bends over the unisols, who are no longer soulless killing machines, but pumped-up, squealing wrestlers, and in the end bends over the main unisol, who is the unexpectedly sad Michael Jai White. That’s all. Well, there’s also a storyline with a hacker and a girl, but who cares?? The action is pretty fun. Not funny enough to keep viewers glued to the screen, but funny enough to understand that not the entire budget went to the creators’ pockets.They shoot provocatively, they explode provocatively, but by the time you wait for this, you’ll have time to take a nap a couple of times. What is the point – Mick Rogers has little idea how to make a movie so that the plot, the actors, and the action, in the end, “The Return” turned out not to be a kind of comeback for Van Damme, but a tombstone for his career – a dull dummy, not worth the attention of the audience, because it is more expensive for oneself to break through to a moderately suitable action through the local style of presenting the material. Worth watching? No.No, no, no. No no no no no no no no.
Is it worth watching: Nooooooooo.
Despite the cool video, the advertising, all the tricky things, Van Damme’s time is irrevocably gone – the film caused hysterical laughter among critics, and the audience simply didn’t go, because here “The Matrix” turns the game upside down, and you and your Van Dammes are interfering. And the Unisols perished. Well, or they went to freeze in order to return after ten long years. What got the Unisols off the ground?? An amazing fact – Van Damme himself got them off the ground. In 2008, he started a project that confused many – the drama “F.”.TO.IN.D.", telling about the adventures of our elderly leg-swinger with all the revelations from his difficult life. The critics, without expecting it themselves, gushed with delight, and Van Damme received carte blanche for any project. And the first thing he talked about was the "Universal Soldier". The plans were Napoleonic – the once famous Peter Hyams was supposed to film this case, they promised to persuade Lundgren to return, and even put in some epic action. Embarrassing details began to emerge later – someone leaked the synopsis of “Universal Soldier 3: Rebirth”, and it featured a certain Chechen terrorist Basayev, who threatens to blow up the Chernobyl station and show everyone Kuzka’s mother. Moreover, Peter moved from directors to cameramen. Moreover, now all this was going to be filmed by a certain John Hyams, known for a couple of wretched TV series and films like “I puked in my shoes while watching it”. Lundgren was dragged in, but again, they didn’t say anything definite, they say it will happen and that’s it. In general, it was as unclear as possible what the outcome would be. Frankly speaking, it’s still not clear, because it’s too ambiguous.
Universal Soldier: Regeneration – 2009
Disconcerting Plot Details: A Chechen terrorist named Topoff seizes the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and threatens to blow it up. On his side is a former employee of the “Universal Soldier” program, who placed a formidable weapon – one of his charges – into the service of the terrorist. The situation is complicated by the fact that the children of a prominent statesman are being taken hostage. Attempts to free a dangerous facility turn into a bloodbath. And then Luc Devreaux enters the fray with the modernized unisol. However, he will meet not only the Topoff rabble and the new generation of unisol, but also his old acquaintance – Sergeant Andrew Scott.
You can criticize the film for a long time, but the action here is my respect
Old robbers: “Renaissance” begins in good health – with a gorgeous action scene, shot in one shot and making you drop from your hands in surprise everything that was in them at the time of viewing, because it alone puts down all the action from its Canadian counterparts and the wretched sequel. Fascinated by such a cheerful beginning, I was glued to the screen, and then it started – Chernobyl, five minutes of Lundgren, fifteen of Van Damme, some leftist Orlovsky, dialogues written by local people from a madhouse, and suddenly – another gorgeous action scene. And then again – a bunch of dull and worn out things, and suddenly another gorgeous action scene. Whaaaaat?! And like this. "Universal Soldier 3: Rebirth" is a fast-paced, stunning action movie that is literally destroyed by its own script. It definitely makes the most of its meager budget to get us to clap our hands a little, but the plot twists and turns are so ridiculous that it’s time for geriatric memes.
Surprisingly, it is so idiotic that the authors deliberately waste time on explanations, instead of doing what they can do with the solid “Fans of cheap action films ejaculate” – action films, fights and shoot-em-ups. It’s scary to say, but this creation is worth watching only in one way – watch all the local action on YouTube, and it’s wise to skip the rest, because it’s boring and stupid. The actors here will not win your heart in any way. Van Damme is pushing his dramatic talent where it shouldn’t be shoved, Lundgren is not enough, and the much-hyped Orlovsky is so wooden that he could be whittled into Pinocchio as a pairing of Andre West. But there is CHERNOBYL and funny uniform costumes.
Is it worth watching: Well, if you have absolutely nothing to do, then you can.
Well, the result was ambiguous – everyone appreciated the action, and in the same way everyone appreciated the fact that local stories are drowned, in general, not the worst action film. But the cons outweighed the pros, so the film was a little neglected and forgotten. But it sold great on DVD. But Van Damme didn’t forget the unisols. I forgot so much that I decided to make a fourth part, with the same people at the helm, but with one small “But” – GIVE HARDCORE TO THE PEOPLE, AS WELL AS EVERYONE’S TOWER HAS BEEN DESTROYED. I’m not trying to be funny, this is almost a quote from the director. Having thrown serious cabbage soup into the trash, the guys promised a somewhat strange thing – “Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning” was supposed to be “a mixture of “Blade Runner” and “Apocalypse Now”” (Cheeeeeeeeeeee), and they also promised to raise the action to the skies. And I’ll tell you a spoiler now – it’s a bomb. So bomb that Scott Adkins is also rocking there. So bomb that the film was released in limited release in the USA, and received a full theatrical release in Russia. AND ALSO AT THREE! DE! GIRL, DID YOU HEAR?! IN THREE DE! Guys, you are not ready for this kind of hell.
Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)
Plot: John awakens from a coma and learns that his wife and daughter were killed during a home invasion. Desperate, he decides to take revenge on the man directly responsible for their deaths – Luke Deveraux. As John tries to piece together his reality, things become more complicated when he is relentlessly pursued by a universal soldier named Magnus. Meanwhile, Devereaux and Andrew Scott are preparing for a revolutionary battle to create an anarchic state (cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of of) without government oversight.
Cheeeeeeeeeee
CHEEEE: Cheeeeeee Guys. I’m whining about all the material, I’m pouring guano on the films some people love, but now the terrible moment has come. I won’t bash Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. I won’t praise Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. I will lie at the feet of this film and howl with delight, because THIS. JUST. WILL DESTROY. TO YOU. ROOF. SONS. At least if you are mentally prepared for local spectacles. "Day of Reckoning" essentially has no plot. No characters. There’s nothing in terms of script. I’ll say more – the plot here is trippy to the extreme, the writers smoked something very, very powerful. Of course, “Blade Runner” is not here, not even “Universal Soldiers” is here, but the trippy atmosphere of “Apocalypse Now” is enough here. Get rid of the questions “What”, “How” and “Why” from your head, and God forbid you think about what is happening. Just enjoy. Enjoy an extravaganza of gratuitous violence and action scenes so epic that at some points even “The Raid” will say something like “Whoa”. The creators of the fourth part were completely blown away, they gave up on all these cinematic things of ours, they just make action, filming it from the most delicious and effective angles, so that our little bang-bang lovers squeal with delight. Scott Adkins here gives away absolutely everything that we love him for – he waves his arms, legs, pulls off action shot in one shot and even shows some kind of emotion, although here it looks rather useless. He steals the film from all the actors, including Van Damme and Lundgren (They are here mostly for furniture, and to rave spectacular cradles from Adkins), being at the peak of his form to the delight of the fans. But again, it’s not like it’s a movie. Mind blowing action sequence – yes. A film for mushroom lovers – yes. But a viewer who accidentally wanders into the screening may be left in slight bewilderment, because they seem to promise about unisols, but here we have Scott Adkins scattering a battalion of enemies and shooting people in the face with a shotgun in an action scene filmed in one shot (Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). So listen closely – if you want to watch Scott Adkins create an extravaganza and won’t wait for plots, then this is for you. But if you are expecting a certain plot and the atmosphere of the first unisols, then don’t even get close. And so – an amazing, at times amazing action film, which is very difficult to find its audience, plus the best part of the Universal Soldier franchise. And don’t even argue, I love this movie.
But financially everything is sad. In the USA, the film went as unnoticed as possible, although it received praise from critics, because they expected anything but this, but in Russia it even collected half a million. Again, nostalgia is a great infection.
Is it worth watching: If you like stupid shooting games – yes. Even YES. Even YES, YES, YES, YES, why are you even sitting, run to check the fitness!
Results: The Universal Soldier franchise is unique. Unique for one simple reason – this is the only film series that continues not to the second, not to the third, but to the sixth (SIXTH) part. Yes, it moves straight in the direction of action, completely abandoning history, but the previous parts of the franchise did not shine with Shakespearean twists. It’s absolutely worth watching only the first part (Because nostalgia, and the film as a whole is quite good. And if I don’t tell about him, they’ll spread the word), and the last one (For there they shoot people in the face with all sorts of things). I highly doubt that we will wait for the seventh film, but I would be interested to see what the guys got up to and where the franchise would lead by the seventh part. But I still got to heaven. And for “Day of Reckoning” my little lover of Scott Adkins and the kneading kneader is ready to carry this franchise in his arms.
What’s next: Nnnameki
Actually, that seems to be all. Plus, minus, BREATH ME, BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP, in general, do whatever you want, in any case – thank you for your attention, I’m always pleased to write for stopgame. imelman was with you, see you very soon. (A week later, in short, they whispered to me in the laboratory)
