"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.

When DVD's came out , Soldier was one of my first choices. Still watch it.

[@TwoStacks217]

Isn't it kind of crazy to think that we lived before DVDs and have now lived long enough to see them die

[@user-tc2ud9fz3w]

You did it justice thank you. Kurt Russell is still a badass

[@Angelo-yr1en]

Jason Scott Lee deserves credit too

[@veganath]

*_"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

[@MrYoyochu]

I love all these old movies. IT has more meaning than the current ones.

[@Grouchydragoon012]

I love that one of his awards in his service record was the o'neil award. Totally not a nod to him having played o'neil in the stargate movie 4 years earlier.

[@darkwulf23]

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.

[@Iron936]

Because thats how the plot was written, to get this conflict

[@4elementstudios]

It's a story about capitalism and the ongoing need to iterate improvement on every product. This is apple in a nutshell.

[@keanu883]

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.

[@darkwulf23]

@@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.

[@YoSora1313]

So basically they were Spartans

[@101brianbl]

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.

[@TuckerDale89]

Kurt Russel got his son to play him at a young age in this movie like he did in the Monarch series

[@animo9050]

One of my favorite movies

Name of the film：Soldier (1998)

[@mp6640]

The amount of times you said Todd 3465 is insane when you could have said Todd.

[@alikhat1647]

@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?”.

[@TheJtjensen]

I have it on VHS, I have a VHS player and a olde style tv.

@@pleshlacis Just watched Rambo first blod, a master piece.

[@japhathoyira23]

This movie and solo was top notch

[@acefalcons4903]

They can never remake this classic, but they can try to do a continuation of a sequel with carefully selected new casts.

[@RealGigaMind]

Nah it'd be ruined by "new" Hollywood

[@WakkasLove]

This was a good movie. A really good movie. And I didn't mind you using his full name

[@Jekkzur01]

Always one of the best of all time. This and Solo are amazing movies

[@killer4kash]

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.

[@Damndrrtyapes]

Replying because your comment nailed it. So many vets abandoned by their branch, their government... 😢

Even greedy capitalism would have known to make the vets NCO’s and let them lead the new guys. We learned long ago that experience is priceless.

This was a good movie. Kurt Russell was very good in it.

[@AyyoStevie]

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

[@drpranabbakshi5297]

Nostalgia ❤

[@japhathoyira23]

Kurt Russell would have done more action movies after this

[@manhunter433]

Spartan training without the augmentations and Mjnoir armor.

[@diablo56100]

The Veterans are literal Spartan IIs and the new replacements are Spartan IVs lmao 😂

[@Ashthecyberwolf]

The difference was the spartan II’s were still killing machines lol

[@Damndrrtyapes]

Soldier is an awesome military scifi movie. Starship Troopers is a cool scifi movie about futility of war. _Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young._ -Kevin Lacz, The Last Punisher

Would there be a remake but with Wyatt Russell?

Man you don't have to say Tod3465 every time 😂 You can just call him Tod

[@j0nixrag0]

were to watch this

[@dakotahacker6688]

❤ 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

I think after the 1st hundred or so Todd3465 we could prob just go with Todd.
