About
Watch it if you want a high-energy 80s/90s action-sci-fi buddy adventure with lots of explosions and dark humor; Not for you if you want grounded sci-fi or clever logic, and skip it like Stone Cold or Universal Soldier if you prefer cleaner, more realistic thrillers.
Pros: over-the-top action; memorable villain; witty buddy banter | Cons: cheesy sci-fi elements; divisive tone
