Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Magnum P.I. 2010 (Cue The Synth Music Please.....)
I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid all those years ago, and it's future is pretty much as I remember. Do ya love films made in the past predicting what the future would be like....and getting it so wrong and dated in the process? Wow, then Runaway is for you. Best put, the world's now serviced by robots, not really smart human-like robots but more of the HAL/Doctor Who's Daleks kind. Tom Selleck's a cyber-policeman who you basically call when your robot starts acting crazy, and Gene Simmons ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - not truly great, but very entertaining
There are entertaining movies that aren't great, and great movies that aren't entertaining. If I had to choose one, I'd choose entertaining. That's what this movie delivers. If you're reading the reviews, you know the characters and the story. If you like science fiction with characters you can care about (or hate), a good story, some suspense, and creative technological features, you'll enjoy this film. It's far better than a lot of the garbage they're cooking up in CGI labs today!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Runaway
I just watched Runaway and was impressed with the movie and would like to add I am not a science fiction movie person, but my husband is. Gene Simmons was in the movie so that is what caught my eye. For science fiction this was very believable film. I am purchasing this movie for my husband and he will get a kick out of that since I refuse to watch any other Sci-Fi.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Popcorn Fun
I suppose if you read all my reviews, you may be inclined to think I rate everything five stars. That's not really so, I'm just inclined to rate what I enjoy the most. I've seen thousands of movies in my lifetime, everything from "Manos, hand of Fate" to "Gone with the Wind" and "Dr. Zhivago." Yes, five here, too for Runaway. Runaway is no GWTW or DZ, but it's a good, very well casted little movie. What better a villain to have than to be portrayed by Gene "KISS - demon" Simmons is there? ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - That wasn't very nice Ramsey!!!!
Sci-fi, thriller, and action fanactics will love this 80's flick. Tom Sellick (Magnum P.I, Three Men and a Baby, Three Men and A Little Lady) was a good actor. He appears cocky at times but he certainly was a good fit for Michael Crichton's (E.R.) flick. Gene Simmons, (Family Jewels, the Lord of Rock, and member of Kiss) was great as the bad guy Dr. Luther who creates "spawns of satan" robots. These robots will kill! Gene has such an evil look and a stare that will frighten anyone. Kirstie Alley (Cheers, ... Read More
