My favourite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, and it's still as great as the first time i watched it.
This is also my favourite Paul Verhoeven movie, and i'm a big fan of this director.
It's the official last high budget Sci-Fi-movie made without the excessive use of CGI and it shows, the effects look amazing. The model shots of Mars and the make-up effects especially (which earned a special achievement Oscar).
The cinematography is great, as you might expect from a Verhoeven movie. His movies are always lit very naturally, which i'm normally no fan of because it looks like television, but Verhoeven uses this to let the settings feel more real, which makes his excessive (but mostly realistic) use of violence feel more shocking.
Jerry Goldsmiths soundtrack is amazing, a great theme tune (that always reminds me of Conan the Barbarian) and some other very special tracks which fit the movie very well.
The best part of the movie (apart from the action) is the story. It offers much room for interpretation if the things happening are actually real (the scene with the red pill also seems kinda familiar). Many twists and turns make it always hard to be sure, so that not just the action, but also the content makes us not wanna look away for a second, so that it feels like the movie would never stop, but always keep going, without getting cheap with it's twists, or losing momentum.
This science fiction-action movie is one of the best ever made...
