ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Elliot James The Terminator had less in common with Harlan's two Outer Limits episodes and more with this Michael Rennie movie Cyborg 2087. This is a fun movie that's technically crude so young audiences would never sit through it.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Cyborg 2087, 1966. In th distant future of 2087, two scientists develop a time traveling device with a cyborg. The cyborg is supposed to go back in time and prevent a scientist from perfecting his new 'telepathy'. In the future time, a dictatorship government uses this telepathy to control it's citizenry and abuse their rights.*Special Stars- Michael Rennie, Karen Steele, Wendell Cory, Warren, Stevens, Eduard Franz, Harry Carey Jr.*Theme- Justice in any time is important enough to preserve.*Trivia/location/goofs- One of the last film appearance of Michael Rennie. Supposedly the idea for many later sci-fi films: Terminator, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Time Cop, and etc.*Emotion- I wanted to like this film for it's premise. Even though it's a time travel and cyborg film, this one is very crudely done with little production values. It suffers from total unbelievability and bad screen elements. The necessary sci-fi 'suspension of believability' never occurs and screen things are unintentionally laughable. The plot is essentially a 'chase' film' between the future bad guys police robots chasing the good guy cyborg in 1966. This film had high hopes but is essentially a waste of good film plot ideas and your time. And you can't go back in a time machine to get it again...A waste of your time & attention.

redbeard_nv The term, cyborg, meaning cybernetic organism, relates to a human enhanced with mechanical parts, often robotic in nature.Thus gave us the first glimpse into this genre. Albeit low budget (I mean, instrumentation from the future labeled with Dymo Label Maker Tapes?) and featuring actors who were at their peak not just a few short years before, including Michael Rennie, Klaatu from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" or "The Keeper" from "Lost In Space", or Warren Stevens, Doc Ostrow from "Forbidden Planet ("Monsters! Monsters from the ID!") and throwing the tem-oral twist of alternative time lines, this cyborg pre-dated "The Six Million Dollar Man" (and Martin Cadin's novel it was based on, "Cyborg"), the Jean Claude Van Damme dystopic future wasteland adventure, even Star Trek: The Next Generation's most relentless enemies, the Borg (sounds Swedish!...sorry. I couldn't resist).Add to that the obvious Terminator references (and people still forget about Harlan Ellison's own legal action against Cameron due to similarities in his Outer Limits scripts "Demon With the Glass Hand" and "Soldier") and you have a low-budget oddity that hasn't made the rounds in the post-midnight TV info-mercial circuit in years, being swept aside by other B-Movie kings like the Band Brothers' Full Moon Productions or Bert I. Gordon's & Brian Yuzna's Lovecraft micro-epics.

clore-2 Let's see... Michael Rennie plays a cyborg. He is sent back in time by rebels to prevent a scientist from inventing a device that will have an impact upon the future by enslaving mankind. In turn, Rennie is being chased by agents from the future who are intent that he does not complete his mission. A woman in the present day begins to fall for Rennie. Sounds awful familiar to me. The music, as noted by the other comment, will have you rolling, it's from Saturday morning cartoons, you're almost expecting that Hanna-Barbera sound effect when someone starts running. Still, the movie has an above average cast for its low-budget, Michael Rennie, Karen Steele, Eduard Franz (the Jonathan Drake of "Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake"), Harry Carey, Jr., Warren Stevens (Forbidden Planet), Wendell Corey, and even future M*A*S*H star and Mrs. Chuck Woolery, Jo Ann Pflug can be glimpsed.
