Cyborg 2087 (1966)

Directed by Franklin Adreon
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

Michael Rennie, who will forever be remembered as Klaatu, this time arrives from the Earth of the future to find a scientist whose discovery will lead to political enslavement for the entire population. The scientist is conducting experiments with telepathy on a chimp. Klaatu, I mean Garth A7, first convinces his pretty scientist assistant that he really is from the future by letting her read his mind. Unfortunately he's part cyborg and has rejected all emotions. "Tracers" from the future arrive to try to stop him, in a plot line The Terminator would later borrow. They follow Klaatu and friends to a power plant then the "Old Town", really an old western set. Cheap, predictable and static.
