CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 8.0

In a bleak future ruled by machines, a nearly unstoppable cyborg is sent back to 1984 to hunt a young woman whose unborn child could change humanity’s fate. A battle-scarred soldier follows from the future to protect her, forcing them into a desperate fight for survival.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like intense science-fiction thrillers, relentless chase stories, and dark 1980s action; Not for you if dated effects or lean character development are distracting.
