"The Forgotten Warrior: from ruthless killing machine to guardian of the planet."
Soldier is a sci-fi action film released in 1998 about an elite group of soldiers in the future that the military develops from childhood through genetic selection and brutal training. The protagonist, Todd, is part of this elite group of soldiers, and he receives rigorous military training from an early age to become a ruthless warrior. However, over time, the military has developed more advanced soldiers, and these new soldiers not only have greater combat abilities, but are also implanted with high-tech equipment that makes Todd and his fellow soldiers obsolete.
Considered useless after a failed mission, Todd was abandoned and dumped on a distant, abandoned planet. This planet is inhabited by people forgotten by society, who seek resources from the ruins to survive. Here, Todd experiences emotional challenges and human trials like he has never experienced before. He begins to question his lifelong training and beliefs while fighting to protect the planet's inhabitants, and ultimately finds his own humanity and sense of belonging.

*_"Kurt Russell is still a badass"_* in addition to being a fantastic actor, the character he portrayed bought a tear to my hardened eyes...lol
What I don’t get is why would you replace one elite unit in their prime with a superior elite unit in their prime instead of using both? That is wasted money and experience.

Then answer this: why would you replace a combat-proven T-60 with combat-unproven T-80, whose field tests proved it to be superior to previous gen? Check how much time has passed since this old guys training - its clear that their technology is outdated, and since they were indoctrinated into a specific combat training tech, they were expensive to retrain into a new gen, even after that hardly even matching them, since most of this new gen soldier advantages are from his breeding progress. Its like with old gen material - if you can stuff it with new gen components to enhance it, you will do it, unless production of complete new gen material is way more cost-effective. And this fresh baked soldier defeated 3 hardy veterans. Ofc they decided to scrap the olds.

@@keanu883 Ignoring the morality of all this because the fictional government doesn't give a shit, consider this. Commando units such as Seal Team 6 and Delta Squad are considered superior to their predecessors Navy Seals and Special Forces. However, the Seals and Green Berets still are in active service because they still function well. That being said, the old soldiers still have skills that have won them several battles. Replacing them instead of using both is incredibly wasteful. Also making them fight each other to the death is incredibly wasteful because 3 elite soldiers were killed and one soldier was left with a nonfunctional eye. Furthermore, later in the movie, these superior soldiers got ambushed because they hadn't learned how to handle guerrilla tactics. I am saying that the idiot general got into a pissing contest that cost him his elite commandos.
One of my all time favorites, too. You omitted one scene that was a fav... after lifting the little boy in his arms, one of the solders looks at Todd curiously, and Todd's gives a slight nod - it says volumes. One of the reasons Kurt Russell is such an outstanding actor. He carries this film and says something like only 10 words in the whole thing. Unbelievable awesome movie.
I love all these old movies. IT has more meaning than the current ones.
One of my favorite movies

@filmlover, you should pin your comment with the film name. It’s pretty far down in the comment section, though I haven’t seen anyone saying, “name?”.
This is anvery deep a beautiful movie that most will mistake as a surface level 90's B Action Movie. The whole journey of Todd 3465 is a comparison of examples of what so many veterans go through after what for many of them seems like a lifetime of war. Discarded without a place to call a home, desperately struggling to integrate back into society. This is real ass shit man.
I have it on VHS, I have a VHS player and a olde style tv.

Don't be a fool. Enjoy it for what it was don't ask for it to be ruined. What do you think "they" would do to it today?
very good simple movie..
Almost reminds me of Universal Soldier but these guys were the Prototypes. 1st Gen Soldiers where US Soldiers were around 4th to 5th gen combatants. These Prototypes were more prone to control because they were raised from birth making them a better Soldier. US Soldiers were Soldiers killed in battle then brought back. So there would be side affects to a soldier engineered from the start than those raised from the womb
Yes this is one of my favorites
My favorite movie ,
The best little word for this movie is "Extrimist Soldier" 😂

❤ Absolutely top of my favorites in sci-fi action As Sisu is now one of my favorite war movies. Bot because of the strength of the character's and how them having a nearly complete lack of dialog does nothing to stop them from being able to convey all of the emotions and words that are needed in other movies. I'm sure there were other actor's that may have pulled this role off. However Kurt Russell was the very best choice at the time and he totally owns it.... Tango and Cash is also a great one with him and of course Escape from N.Y. a true classic Russell movie
The Woman standing next to Kent at One Min Fifty Three Second ' s , The 1 line i remmber her saying , You don't Even have to surlute any more because we are the same Rank , she said to 1 of the older soldiers , . IT is a shame that she had to die ;
