Bargin bin entertainment.

I had the pleasure of seeing this Terminator ripoff at a very young age; preteen to be exact but that's not what I'm saying here. What I'm REALLY saying is that you can do a lot worse than watch this; something that I forbid anyone of actually doing. The acting is so relentlessly painstakingly bad it makes Faye Dunaway more alluring than the Mona Lisa! At least sci-fi has evolved to the point of excellence thanks in part to A Space Odessey, Star Wars Orig Trilogy, and of course the Terminator films. Poor Joe Lara. His career never recovered at this point. This piece of crap is nowhere near the level of those classic films so avoid this one at all costs. Avoid. Like the plague.

The end.
