a5c7b9f00b When missile technology is used to enhance toy action figures, the toys soon begin to take their battle programming too seriously. Alan, son of a toy store owner, tries out some new action figures: The Commando Elite vs. The Gorgonites. What he does not know, is that both sets of toys were designed to move, talk, and play back. The Commando Elite's purpose is to destroy the Gorgonites. Unfortunately, the toy designer who was responsible for the programming, bought highly intelligent military computer chips that are usually used for steering missiles, and are able to learn. Now, the Commando Elite, led by Major Chip Hazard, is up to destroying the Gorgonites, led by peaceful Archer, who hide in Alan's parents' house. Now, a battle, in which the destructive ability of creative computer chips against creative computer chips with a different attitude comes to light, is about to begin. Small Soldiers (1998): Dir: Joe Dante / Cast: Gregory Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Jay Mohr, Denis Leary, Dick Miller: Plays like an evil counterpart to Toy Story and no more acceptable to children than The Terminator. We witness a boy climbing hydro lines. We see flames and sharp objects hurled at a home. Kirsten Dunst is attacked and tied up by an army of naked dolls. Visually stunning film regarding smaller factors triumphant over big challenges. Plot regards action figures that learn through battery efficiency. There is the ugly yet peaceful Gorgonites who search for their home land while avoiding the vicious Commandos. They are discovered by a boy left in charge of his father's store but eventually they escape. Setup displays how violence is marketed but it is ugly. Directed by Joe Dante who also made Gremlins for which this film is quite similar. The difference is that Gremlins contained engaging characters and a lesson of responsibility while Small Soldiers is just plain violent with characters at the mercy of bad writing. Gregory Smith nearly electrocuted in power lines. Dunst slices Commandos via lawn tractor. Jay Mohr and Denis Leary appearmanufacturers who play off the marketing theme. Dick Miller is a Dante regular but not given a roleinterestingMr. Futterman in Gremlins. The special effects are on target but for children, it is recommend the superior Toy Story. Score: 3 / 10 Before you go harsh on this movie, this movie is a really good movie for some reason. It made me smile all the way. I just wonder: why does people take this movie so seriously? It's not like it's going to get a Oscar or anything or the producers were hoping. Despite the huge commercials I thought underneath this movie had some hope about friendship. I thought the cast was absolutely wonderful. Kirsten Dunst, Tommy Lee Jones, Gregory Smith, and Jay Mohr. They're all really fine actors. I thought making the things that are normally "evil" into good is a very good idea. It's always nice to make something that's not normally that kind into that kind of thing. It's really interesting to me. BUT this movie isn't really for like older people…recommend five year old boys. They might enjoy it a lot. Toys v.s. Toys. They'll love it more than Toy Story I bet because of all the intense action and kids love a little action involved. 7 out of 10.
