…Class of 1999 deserves a gold star for trying, it’s got some great cult performers acting up big time, and plenty of mad action… Go to Full Review

1984 has a certain grim conviction in spite of its soapiness; this felt more soulless, and the action bored me, but I admit I'm not really into that kind of movie as a rule. Go to Full Review

8/10
Everything about Class Of 1999 screams 1980s, which is no bad thing of course. The fashions, dialogue and soundtrack are almost a perfect snapshot of the era, despite the film being set right at the tail end of the 20th century. Go to Full Review

Justin T Sep 4 It is an eighties looking movie set in 1999. I was alive in 1999 and I can confirm that it didn’t look especially eighties. Cheesy The Terminator (1984) inspired effects and general carnage are fine looking but dated. A normal sounding mix with tacky sounding gunfire. Otherwise ample sound with possibly slightly quiet dialogue. This reminded me of The Warriors (1979) but it wasn’t anywhere near as memorable. The robo-teachers were the most entertaining bit and even though they only really kicked off near the end. It is still well paced and entertaining. Considering that this is a low-budget b-movie there are plenty of explosions and stunts that made it far more enjoyable than it should be. It is made enjoyable by the mad stunts and brainless story. See more RICK S Jul 7 Unusual film that's done well. Really enjoyed the spanking scene, but would have been even better if the kids were spanked bare ass. See more Nick O May 29 Sequel to the brutal, 1984 high school street gang flick, except now in dystopian 1999, it’s the killer robot teachers you have to watch out for! See more Darrell S Mar 28 Actually this was an enjoyable watch. Robot teachers out to kill students, and gangs fighting over worthless crap. Its almost like Mad Max but set in school. Plus it has Pam Grier, Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach and Patrick Kilpatrick. See more A'meia M 11/16/2024 One of the most badass films of the 90s!! I love the action, things getting blown up, the sci-fi and my favorite character Cody Culp! See more F.A.F.O CALI TO DE W 06/25/2024 Of course this movie wasn't a Oscar contender and it wasn't meant to be that's the point but the fact that people don't like this movie shows me what little imagination and sad life they live See more Read all reviews
