This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Maybe I need to re-order my bottom 5 Asylum movies, because Universal Soldiers is deserving of a spot there. You can really tell how low on budget the film was, the editing is the choppiest of any film I've seen in a while, while the scenery is dully lit and the effects are incredibly fake-looking, most of them don't even look like what they were meant to be. Even the props are bad, there was one that looked as though it was made of wood but seeing as the prop broke it could as well have been made of the cheapest plastic anybody could find. The music is repetitive, has no momentum whatsoever and actually feels dated, while the sound effects verge on bizarre, some even are repeated over and over again. The script is stilted and feels too talky often, while the story is so thin in structure and so ponderous in pace that you question whether there is one at all and when there is the all too few signs of one it's predictably done. The characters are annoying and are never developed, while the acting from everybody involved reads of everybody just improvising in a very bored way on screen. Overall, Universal Soldiers is an awful film that has no life to it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This z grade movie is NOT related to the actual Universal Soldier franchise and is a movie made by a group of people whom should refer to themselves as "the inmates" for a company called the Asylum,(as in the old saying "The inmates running the asylum") It is basically a Knockoff of the more famous and better made movie. This same group did a film called War of the Worlds that was aimed at the Tom Cruise version that came out the same year,Only the Asylum version stars C Thomas Howell. They also have their latest release or as I prefer to think of them "escapee" Terminators which is their low budget version of a terminator movie. all of the movies a low Budget exploitation of other franchises of which the worst has to be Transmorphers taken from Transformers.they have a website at: http://www.theasylum.cc

UNIVERSAL SOLDIERS Theasylum.cc Starring: Kristen Quintrall, Dario Deak & Noel Thurman. Directed by Griff Furst.Probably the best Sci-Fi done by Theasylum in months. You know, We could argue naming what it is,But let's move on. The Soldiers© are somewhat SHOCK WAVES and shades of Dolph & Ahnuld. Really liked their individual skills and lack of weapon knowledge, Kind of evened the playing field. A lot of characters that die telling us why they created an ultimate combat tool that's evolving somehow,OMG ! Costumes were Classic Android meets Predator. Kristin Quintrall was drinking Way Too Much Coffee or something, Truly an energized performance. Dario Deak needs to be seen again, Great on screen prescence. Noel Thurman delivers another thankless role,That viewer needs to further plot. We see a sequel, Or a prequel would be nice seemed we picked up in the middle of goings on.

This film is terrible. Truly awful. However, watched with friends whilst drinking it becomes one of the funniest films I have ever seen.The acting is stupendously bad. The Storyline is non-existent. The Marines are the most incompetent people in the world. The special effects are laughable. The music is bad..very bad. I could go on and on...BUT WAIT! This film is terribly (empahsis on terribly) amazing for the following:The black guy - He is unintentionally hilarious! From his screaming down the radio, to his "fall-out" line when their not even falling out. But for me, the greatest piece of cinema I have ever seen in my life was when he did his super marine roll through the air for no reason whatsoever. It has to be seen to be believed.All in all, don't watch this film is you expect some kind of masterpiece. Only watch it when intoxicated and with friends.
