Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
haleylovemom OK. I like Marina too . I wanted to give this more, but my brain hurt from the assault on my intelligence. Maybe it hurt so much cause I work in computers and know how impossible this all is.it's like a bad gas station puts gas in cars and makes them jump and fly into a mountain at 200 miles an hour. But hey Marina is still cute and I hope she gets better work then this, I gave an extra point for her.glad she got into "Crash" this was axially a good movie. although this was made in 2002 I thought it would be in the late 1980's. before a lot was known about computers by the general public. computers cannot adjust your power circuits in your house or make your TV fry. "Tron" was a movie in the late 80's which was almost as corny and stupid. but I would give it a 5 for entertainment and forgiveness from the time it was written. but this movie do sen't warranty the ten lines they wanted me to write so I had to include other movies. That is all.
Habib (movie_obsessed_dude) POSSIBLE SPOILERS INCLUDED!How could a group of people deal with this ultimate poor plot? Though it had little poorly exiting shots which undoubtedly make you yawn! The lack of reality and even consistency in the plot could be easily observed with poor acting conducted by three main people. The fake relationship going between main people was damn simple and idiot enough to let you go through with it completely.The worst part of this movie could be addressed to where Brad found the server infected by that stupid virus and was trying to stop it by pushing two buttons on a GAMEBOY!!!Has little funny stupid elements to waste your time on!!!Habib's Assessment: 2 / 10!
jbeatty89 Terminal Error might possibly be the worst film I have seen, EVER! Although I must admit I knew what I was getting into while watching the first three minutes on PAX TV. The special effects were what first drew me in. They were as realistic as gameboy graphics. Speaking of gameboy, until tonight I was unaware it could be plugged into a mainframe and used to write a computer virus. This is an example of how plausible the entire plot is. The film is riddled with impossible capabilities of a home computer. Not to mention how a computer controls the myriad electronic devices which aren't even connected to the net. This film lacks truly lacks suspense. I suppose if you went to the store to get more beer you might have missed something.(but I didn't miss much) Even though I found this film dreadful I would watch it again. I would would even recommend it to others, but only if they were in a large group consuming mind altering substances. I look forward to seeing other films by director John Murlowski. I can only imagine Santa with Muscles is equally as entertaining.
JohnBeatty ***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***I'm not sure which is more ridiculous, the idea that almost every piece of electronic equipment, whether or not it is hooked up to the internet, can be controlled by a malicious intelligent computer virus, or that the anti-virus was programmed on a Game Boy.This is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. I knew it was going to be awful in the first five minutes when a virus inside an MP3 file caused a nuclear power plant in the Ukraine to explode. The explosion itself was brought to "life" by some of the worst computer graphics I have ever seen outside 1980s video games. I only watched the rest of the film out of morbid curiosity and hope of a bit of a laugh.The basic plot is an old partner of a computer automation mogul wants revenge, and also to destroy technology, so he creates a virus to bring the company down. But the virus is intelligent and decides to kill all life on the planet. Somehow, the virus manages to get access to all electronics and tries to hunt down the head of the company, Brad. The virus manages to track Brad all through the city on security cameras and webcams, which are everywhere. Or rather two different security cameras, shots of which are shown repeatedly. Every computer in the film has a webcam, so the virus can see anyone using it. In fact, every computer in the film looks exactly the same.Not only that, but through some kind of hidden speakers and microphones, the virus is able to talk and listen to people. It is also able to move things which are not motorized. It is also able to spike power in exactly the place it wishes to cause sparks and fires. It controlled a gas pump to make it dump gasoline on the ground, then blew up a sign and shot sparks right into the gas puddle. Good aim, virus!This would be perfect fodder for MST3K were it still on the air. I'm sure all of Marina Sirtis' fellow Star Trek cast members laugh at her behind her back for ever agreeing to be in this travesty.
