Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good).
Objective Rating:
It may be painfully corny in places (okay, most of the movie), but the idea of being relentlessly attacked by [the remains of] a demented robot is enough to get me to re-watch it every few years. Terrible dialog ("Talk to me." "Okay, here's my backstory..."). Very dated special effects. One of the worst scores of all time. But the concept is f***ing brilliant.
