soldier isn not a great movie and and everyone that hat it have plenty of good reason . but i like soldier alot and partly because my expectation be so low that what i saw surprised me . first and the art direction be tight and well execute . as far a science fiction backdrop go and soldier be do thing with more design then 90 % the genre . the set and costume and prop be all consistent and competently execute while i do not love all of their future military style and but i be impress with the effort . for me and this make the movie worth the time it take to watch . second and i be a kurt russell fan . i grow up watch this guy in some of the most memorable movie of my youth . the barefoot executive and his john carpenter film . soldier be essentially an action movie and and the role of sergeant todd be an essential action hero . it not an award win role and but kurt muster up convince emotion with very little dialog . third and the fight scene and battle be well choreograph . this isn not iron monkey and or even the matrix and but once again and it far exceed the average level of quality in the genre . if you haven not see it and and you like sci fi action film and pick it up if you pass at your rental depot of choice . just do not expect the next bladerunner .
