hardware mark 13 still one of the best sci-fi/horror of our time

i cannot believe that there is a post saying this is the worst film of all time.i saw hardware upon its us theatrical release and was blown away,no it was not a traditional hollywood big budget summer blockbuster with cameron or ridley scott and it was not a franchise film wich would have its built in audience,it was one of the first films that i ever knew to throw in punk/thrash metal into the score that the hollywood elite would only emulate years later.the film is dark and grimy given its a post apocalyptic film so it didnt need to bee clean and spitpolished.great suspense,great casting and the budget was not outragous like lets say $300 mil.wich is sickening,the hardware special effects were outstanding for the time and im not so keen on todays blue screen cgi anyway,i kinda like the old latex and corn syrup,but thats just me im old school.

i just could not let a post go unchallenged saying hardware was the worst film of all time when most of the antagonizers werent born when it was released and are now part of the high tech world we live in today.hardware was truly ahead of its time and i think portrays post apacolyptic earth in a realistic fashion,not space marines with spitpolished boots and kick ass gear but a world in chaos,if you notice even stacy travis has dirt under her nails,she'shot but truly grimy was the way they lived.i kinda compare this film to ALIEN 3 wich nobody appreciated at the time but as time went on people tend to look at the film differently and see that it stands fine on its own and they didnt take the easy way out and just pick up with newt,hicks and bishop but took it in a whole different direction and only years later did it start getting recognition.
dylan mcdermott as hard moe baxter was outstanding and the supporting cast was excellent as well not to mention lemmy as the taxi driver.
there is a reason that the dvd was going for $100 to $200 for the past 5 years until it was rereleased just this past year..because over time through word of mouth it has caught on to be one of sci-fi/horrors best..it holds time very well.i can pull the dvd out once a year and it doesnt diminish,not even the score,for instance no matter how great terminator 1 was with michael bien the score is 80's synth and theres no erasing that one.its the only drawback to T1,were hardware mark 13 is ultra cool with PIL,motorhead,ministry witch will always hold time just like the film..HARDWARE MARK 13 one of the best sci-fi/horror films of all time
