    Another Terminator style plot line and a Mad Max rip of sorts, its not too bad for an early effort, when I was young I watched it purely for the action and martial arts sequences, it hasn't got much else. The main baddie is pretty evil looking and as usual the final showdown at t... read morehe end of every Jean Claude film is a martial arts fest and pretty cool.

    The worst Van Damme movie I've seen, and I've seen nearly all of his
  • September 3, 2008
    If Jean Claude Van Dame were a little bit younger, then he would've had a more successful career in this generation. Prime example: Cyborg.

    This movie is so bad on so many different levels. I swear they were running on a $100 budget after JCVD's salary.

    The sound was awful,... read more the camera work bad, the background and props looked like a middle school play, the graphics were low standards even for 1989, and the worst was the acting! The bad guy just raised his arms and screamed AAARGH! Wow, that's menacing.

    It's nice to watch JCVD round house kick his way through a movie... but it's sad to watch the guy he hits NOT sell the fight and then for the sound to be a half second off.

    Geez, kill me now.... I'd rather watch a whole season of crap like Laguna Beach than watch this movie again.

    Incredible ripoff of Mad Max 2: Road Warrior and Blade Runner where Jean-Claude Van Damme fights alone against the dangerous and reckless gang in his knife-fighting and martial arts scenes.
  • January 25, 2007
    eh, not one of his best
  • December 30, 2006
    Another inept action flick from JCVD, this time with a hopelessly dimwitted and cliched sci-fi spin. Cheap and stupid.

    I dunno.... my least favorite of van dammes when he still had an career.
  • May 27, 2007
    cool.

    I only give this thing half a star as I am unable to give it none without having been marked as not rating it. Horrible. So bad one wonders if it was done like this on purpose.

Mr. Van Damme's Gibson is so opaque that he makes Mel Gibson's Mad Max seem weepy by comparison. Full Review

Richard Harrington, Washington Post

It's just another martial arts film, all dressed up with no place to go. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Few genres amuse me more than post-apocalyptic fantasies about supermen fighting for survival. Cyborg is one of the funniest examples of this category, which crosses Escape from New York with The Road... Full Review

Martial arts fans will find plenty of action to hold their interest here, but those in search of plot and character are advised to look elsewhere. Full Review

One of Van Damme's earlier, finer moments

Laughably bad futuristic Van Damme actioner.

James O'Ehley, Sci-Fi Movie Page

Largely plotless and cheaply made. Full Review

Chris Hicks, Deseret News, Salt Lake City

In the end it's a little unfair to assess Van Damme in this picture, since Robert De Niro would have trouble seeming credible in these surroundings. Full Review
