I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View Moreit is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreOh dear. This reminded me of the kinds of films that I used to rent on VHS purely because of the cover.I bought this because of Bruce. And to be honest, he is, as is usual, the highpoint of this film which has the qualities of a day time soap.The average X files episode used to sweep this kind of stuff in 45 minutes and there is a high degree of stretch to the story. The acting is pretty poor as well with some fairly desperate stereotyping.As a cable production Cunningham (Director) probably had little to work with budget wise but this looks and feels cheap from the opening scene.Avoid.
View MoreLets be honest.....this movie isn't Gone with the wind, or Ghandi....its not even Alien or Independence day. But its clever, well written and an alien movie with a unique storyline. Reminiscent of the paranoia in the best of the sci-fi movies of the 50's. Are they or aren't they. Bunch of folks in a confined area....unable to tell who's who. I recorded it...because of my fondness for Army of Darkness, fully expecting to bail out after 15 or 20 minutes. Instead I watched it all...and enjoyed it enough to encourage others to give it a try. I gave it a 7. I would have preferred to end this review a line above, but apparently I was too concise for my own good, falling short of the content minimum
View MoreI picked this one up at the video store the other day. It looked promising, in a rollercoaster fun "Con Air meets The Faculty" kind of way. Bruce Campbell is his usual "Adam West" style of hero and the remaining cast, while containing no familiar faces, certainly made their presence felt early in the film. At first the dialogue was very good, the story moved along quickly without rushing things, and scary scenes weren't telegraphed or overdone. I was really enjoying it. Then about halfway through the plot took the stupidest, least viable, least intelligent turn it could have taken. I sat there for the next ten minutes going "I can't believe they didn't...". After that, I thought "well you can all die for all I care, you bunch of fools". While I did watch all the film, the stupid plot twist really sucked the fun out of it for me. I ceased to care at all. It was fun, but next time I feel like this sort of thing, I'll watch The Faculty again.
View MoreI do have a soft spot for aliens disguised as humans infiltrating mankind movies with some of the best SF written like QUATERMASS 2 and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS having this plot . Unfortunately some of the worst SF shows and films I`ve seen like THE PUPPET MASTERS and the dismal WAR OF THE WORLDS series also share the same plot so I guess it`s all down to how the story is developed***** MILD SPOILERS *****Alas TERMINAL INVASION is one of the lesser movies to use this plot . It contains a ludicurous scene near the beginning where a convicted murderer called Jack is being transported to prison via a snowbound airfield uses the toilet at the airfield terminal . So far so good , but then a priest suddenly enters the toilet , kills the two guards with Jack and proclaims he`s an alien who is leading an invasion infiltration force against Earth because " We don`t like you " . I just couldn`t take this scene seriously , but then I couldn`t take the entire film seriously because it`s clumsily handled . The characters are bland stereotypes who either take an alien invasion in their stride or are totally cynical to the threat when ever the script demands it . Despite being very similar to THE THING in many ways there`s a nagging suspicion I felt that the original draft didn`t contain an alien invasion plot and was more akin to something like D-TOX with the baddies being escaped criminals or foreign terrorists . Regardless of what happened between initial script stage and final shooting TERMINAL INVASION is a very silly totally unbelievable sci fi TVM
