Great movie, a well-done story. Effects are all good, and color, and sound are great. Kurt Russell doesn't have a lot of lines in this movie, but it all works well. Not a movie for everyone, but for hard core Science Fiction lovers, it's a must. If you have been in the military, this might appeal to you.

Great sci-fi movie about emotionless soldiers who follow orders, no matter how awful the task. They are raised from children to be killers, and have PTSD like a mother... Eventually they are replaced by an advanced genetically engineered new breed of soldiers and after a trial of combat, the old soldier leader Kurt Russel is left for dead on a wasteland. It is a moving story about PTSD and how much psychological damage these soldiers have after committing many war crimes.

Daft B-movie sci-fi that sees a futuristic soldier bred only for service is replaced by a newer, better model and left for dead on a planetary waste dump. The inevitable showdown ensues. Cheap and cheerful nonsense.

Soldier is a really well done sci-fi the right amount of action and thinking (some may think too much action). It is surprisingly subtle and interesting. Kurt Russel does a great job and really sells a character who almost never speaks. A great movie.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. The story veered clear of cliches and predictable plot avenues. Kurt Russel was very low key compared to what I'm used to seeing from him, playing the emotionally juevenile but survival savvy engineered killer. Refreshingly intelligent.

I really enjoy this movie, the action is great, the plot is decent and Kurk Russell does a good job portraying a man who is completely void of emotion. With that said, if you do not care for straight-up action films this is not for you.
