Digi G This came out when I was in high school, the movie is kind of hokey but the premise is quite frightening. To be honest our government is 50 years ahead of technology of what we have in the public! If you ever watched the outer limits or Twilight zone where this guy cuts his hair and it falls onto the bathroom sink and you see these little micro robots run in all directions. It kind of puts a shiver and shimmer of light of what runaway could have been. Imagine a micro robot living on you all while your vote counts to help these officials watch over every one of us? Robots are just beginning. The technology to make this movie great back then was so inaccessible, but if they did remake it I would hope they would put the fright of the outer limits or the Twilight zones into it Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Jeffrey W Gene Simmons plays a terrific villain Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Runaway sees Tom Selleck once again playing catch-up with a Harrison Ford role, this time doing his best Blade Runner crossed with good old Magnum PI. Honestly, the film isn't that far removed from our reality nowadays with the steady automation of seemingly everyday and mundane tasks, just minus the cool robots. Though it may induce a bit of unintended laughter, Michael Crichton offers up a solidly directed and enjoyable slice of 80s sci-fi; combined with a fantastic score by Jerry Goldsmith, Crichton's enormously entertaining writing and his periodically (and impressively) farsighted approach to its sci-fi tech, keep the film grounded and the action ramping up when needed. The film boasts real earnest performances from its cast, Selleck delivering a solid leading man role as a troubled single father alongside the lovable Cynthia Rhodes as his partner. Still, it's Gene Simmions as the villain Luther who is the real highlight, just oozing evil and relishing every moment in the role. Despite a handful of narrative lulls, Runaway is a real cult classic for those looking for our Blade Runner fix, it's Magnum PI gone Magnum AI.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Steve D A bit dated but still quite fun. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad makeup, bad costuming, bad writing, hammy acting, etc. The only nice thing that can be said about it is that the effects were decent for the year it was made. As usual for movies about technology, the tech is poorly presented onscreen. The only real reason to watch the movie is to catch Tom Selleck, Gene Simmons or Kirstie Alley in a role you haven't seen them in before. With that box checked, you can say you never need to see it again. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
