Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Platypuschow The Universal Soldier franchise as terrible as they've been must have been profitable otherwise they wouldn't have lasted. So with that in mind it begs the question, why would they overhaul the entire formula?The Universal Soldier films have been brainless action flicks about the genetically modified undead soldiers but here it goes in a totally different direction and is no better for it.It tells the story of a man who witnesses his wife and daughter murdered by home invaders. He wakes up from a coma and begins to investigate what happened to him, why he was targetted and the man who was responsible Luc Deveraux!Yes thats right, Van Dammes character and the main protagonist throughout the franchise. So with Van Damme reprising and Lungren along for the ride yet again we see a brand new type of Universal Soldier movie. Sadly it just doesn't work, though it starts strong it quickly becomes apparent that the writers had no idea where they were going with this new approach and it all falls apart. The plot is a jumbled mess and the only redeeming factor is the action which is more on point than usual.Sadly its impossible to get past just how much of a baffling mess Day of Reckonings story is, what they've done to the two recurring characters and makes me very much hope this is the last addition to the franchise.The Good:Interesting opening sceneSFX are actually on pointThe Bad:Makes absolutely no senseMajor shift will not have please fans of the franchiseThings I Learnt From This Movie:Upon seeing a gun mens penis's shrivel upThis movie is NOT for epilepticsLosing half of your foot won't affect your ability to walk

CobraLOrd0 I'm debating right now in my head which movie was better, this one or Universal Soldier 2, The Return. Objectively speaking as a movie this one is better, but if we put the Universal Soldier in the equation then Universal Soldier the Return is a better Universal Soldier movie and not because it has JVCD, but because it is in the Universal Soldier universe. This one is nothing like Universal Soldier. There are not even Universal Soldier inspired tunes, theme songs! Acting is hardly bearable. The girl wears a frightened + sexy expression in almost every single scene, so as to appear cute. JVCD and Lundgren appear for ~5 minutes in the entire movie combined!! Gunplay is probably the worst EVER i have seen in a movie. It is comical, it seriously resembles The Naked Gun movies where Nielsen and the enemy were shooting at each other from a 3 meter range (there is a take in this film between protagonist and Lundren where this is EXACTLY what happens and even worse now that i think of it). Cinematography that will make you cry, with a plethora of scenes that will certainly give you seizures (i was covering my eyes for about 3 minutes of the entire film). The story is ridiculous, makes barely any sense, not that the plot ever stops to focus a bit on dialogue and to what's going on. The movie is utterly semi-devoid of dialogue. Scene after scene depicts either memories or brutal, sadomazochistic violence. The violence in this movie is over the top, just a little below Sin City. The only good aspect was the choreography, i really liked the fighter guy (Andrei Arlovski) that hunts the protagonist to kill him, he had some nice moves. Fighting feels brutal and authentic, you think it's real, but it's a trap, it's so fake. Yet, still there are some nice fights that keep you from getting bored. The rest of the movie is plain boring. Even some special effects and cgi are poorly made. I cannot believe how the critics gave an aggregate rating of 58/100! WARNING: This isn't a universal Soldier movie by any stretch of the imagination! Rating: 3/10 - Bad - For choreography & bearable acting. This movie will pretty much only appeal to sadistically loving violence fans.

robertlei I can think of many better ways to spend and hour and a half other than watching this. Right from the start I wasn't sure what I was watching. It seemed like scenes out of scare flick rather than an action one. I had to check the channel to make sure Showtime was airing the right movie.This movie is fairly quick to get into action if you can ignore the first 5 minutes. But, action is all it is. The idea behind this movie is that there is a convent of sorts for former uni-sols, run by Scott and Deveraux, with some type of unknown, anarchist agenda. Another former uni-sol, who didn't know he was a uni-sol, is 'awakened' in a somewhat 'Neo vs agent Smith' from the final fight of The Matrix type of plot, and is used to infiltrate this convent.There is little back story to any of the main characters, though you'd recognize some from previous Universal Soldier installments if you've seen them. But the idea behind this edition was not well thought out. Sgt Scott was the protagonist to Luc Deveraux, never an ally, and that's a serious flaw from the start.This story has nothing really to do with the original concept. In fact, if not for the main title, you wouldn't know it was a Universal Soldier movie. The acting is sub-par, there is no character development, and it seems like low quality camera's were used during the filming. It probably consumed most of the budget just paying Lundgren and Van Damme to come back to it, even if for only short parts.The truly sad thing is the end leaves open the possibility for future installments along this storyline, though, hopefully both Lundgren and Van Damme are done with them. A true shame that such iconic action stars would put their names behind this.If you want to see a decent Universal Soldier movie, stay away from this one.

Sühan Gürer I really don't know where to begin with. I was bored (Lying at home from flu), so thats how it all started. From the beginning onwards, it got bizarre and I watched just to see how far it would go. And it went from bizarre to simple absurdity. Without the violence, it would have been a nice black comedy, but unfortunately there was the violence and it spoiled all the fun. Moreover, if you haven't watched any other Universal Soldier, then it will be pretty hard for you to grasp what's happening from the beginning of the movie. After a certain time, pieces start holding not that it matters at the end of the day. Anyways, if you value your time, stay out of this one (Even if you are bored as much as I was).
