Soldier

(Warner Bros)

This futuristic, interplanetary showdown pits an outdated career commando (an awkward but endearingly taciturn Kurt Russell) against his beefier and more lethal successor (a bald, buff Jason Scott Lee) after Russell's conditioned-from-birth sergeant has gotten his ass handed to him by Lee's genetically engineered über-trooper. Soldier does offer a few good mano-a-mano moments, and the set designs are ultra-cool, but there's too little character development and no reason to care.
