I came across this movie on Netflix a while back and thought I had found Van Damme's 1992 movie. I was quite disappointed to find this turd instead. The acting was horrible. The video and audio quality was so bad the audio actually crackled at times. Go ahead and drop a brick on your head instead. If I could give it a negative vote I would.

Maybe I need to re-order my bottom 5 Asylum movies, because Universal Soldiers is deserving of a spot there. You can really tell how low on budget the film was, the editing is the choppiest of any film I've seen in a while, while the scenery is dully lit and the effects are incredibly fake-looking, most of them don't even look like what they were meant to be. Even the props are bad, there was one that looked as though it was made of wood but seeing as the prop broke it could as well have been made of the cheapest plastic anybody could find. The music is repetitive, has no momentum whatsoever and actually feels dated, while the sound effects verge on bizarre, some even are repeated over and over again. The script is stilted and feels too talky often, while the story is so thin in structure and so ponderous in pace that you question whether there is one at all and when there is the all too few signs of one it's predictably done. The characters are annoying and are never developed, while the acting from everybody involved reads of everybody just improvising in a very bored way on screen. Overall, Universal Soldiers is an awful film that has no life to it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This z grade movie is NOT related to the actual Universal Soldier franchise and is a movie made by a group of people whom should refer to themselves as "the inmates" for a company called the Asylum,(as in the old saying "The inmates running the asylum") It is basically a Knockoff of the more famous and better made movie. This same group did a film called War of the Worlds that was aimed at the Tom Cruise version that came out the same year,Only the Asylum version stars C Thomas Howell. They also have their latest release or as I prefer to think of them "escapee" Terminators which is their low budget version of a terminator movie. all of the movies a low Budget exploitation of other franchises of which the worst has to be Transmorphers taken from Transformers.they have a website at: http://www.theasylum.cc

I watched it all the way through just to gaze at two of the main male actors. YUM! Worth the agony :-) Hated the constant whining, horrible, and I do mean horrible acting. Obviously this is the third installment of the Universal Soldier. The first one was the best. In this one the "soldiers" were fleeting and could have been shown a lot more than they were. Strange script. Totally unbelievable ending. These actors should never act again. This director should run for the hills. Several of the actors, male & female, would make a lot of money as strippers or such. I really don't understand why everyone always wants to make these crappy sequels. Totally off the wall.
