It's too limited in scope to be unforgettable, though its production design and set decorations are more than adequate.

Robert Clouse directs the story in a lineal way, paying too much attention to the action and mechanical aspects, and leaving the more abstract or humanist considerations to the side. [Full Review in Spanish]

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

A personal favorite of mine. This is a Sci-Fi, dystopic movie which stars the magnificient Yul Brynner. My biggest hickup with this movie is that the pacing is definitly off and doens't give Yul much screentime; the ending also drags on for a bit too long. But everytime Yul appears on screen, is much cool and appreaciated, with solid and fine action.

Intriguing premise and two great leads hampered and hamstrung by production values only slightly better than the original Star Trek series. This should have been so much better than it is.

If you like dystopian adventure flicks, this is certainly worth seeing.

The Ultimate Warrior is a disappointing film. It is about the near future where the population of New York has been decimated by a terrible plague. Yul Brynner and Max von Sydow give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Robert Clouse did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
