CLASS OF 1999

1990 • US HMDB
April 1, 1990

The time is in the future and the youth gang violence is so high that the areas around some schools have become "free-fire zones", into which not even the police will venture. When Miles Langford, the head of Kennedy High School, decides to take his school back from the gangs, robotics specialist Dr. Robert Forrest provides "tactical education units". These are amazingly human-like androids that have been programmed to teach and are supplied with devastatingly effective solutions to discipline problems. So when the violent, out-of-control students of Kennedy High report for class tomorrow, they're going to get a real education... in staying alive!

Future soon to come: the Kennedy school is in the hands of a group of delinquent students who do not allow the regular conduct of lessons and rule by committing acts of vandalism and all kinds of violence. The teachers are unable to remedy the situation, so the school principal decides to rely on a new project that involves the insertion of cyborgs with human-like appearance instead of teachers. Discipline will be restored, but at the cost of a massacre... A decent fanta-horror that includes among its protagonists Malcom McDowell, a cult actor for more than one generation for being the unmatched protagonist of Kubrick's masterpiece "A Clockwork Orange", here engaged in the role of the school principal. A sort of youth-oriented revisitation of Cameron's "Terminator" with good special effects and several particularly violent sequences.

7 /10

One of the reviews I read called this a "trashy and no brainer film" as he was praising it and... never was a truer word spoken. Especially since it was said in praise.

This is, honestly, the kind of movie I stayed up well past my bedtime, in the basement, to catch on HBO. This is 10 year-old boy bliss. This is made for those night owls that aren't looking for Chinatown, they are looking for mindless fun.

And what could be more mindless and fun than high school, robot teachers, and over-the-top street gangs in a post apocalyptic education system that, honestly, probably works more as an accurate satire today that it does pointless B-movie bliss.

Which leads me to the point in the review where I say, if you are going to give it a bad review because of the stupid plot or the lack of quality in the special effects, or the over-the-top story... what kind of movie did you think you were sitting down to watch?
