Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
bkoganbing Seeing that this film was shot in British Columbia on the west coast of Canada and that's where Jason Priestley is from it seems as good a reason as any to shoot the thing. I'm betting Priestley was helping out the local film industry.Priestley plays a government investigator trying to track down rogue scientist Lou Diamond Phillips who looks a bit Jerry Lewis in the Nutty Professor. He's developed a device that looks like a cellphone and it can take you out of time and space and put you between dimensions.Which is what Phillips does when some military types send a couple of jet fighters to shoot the plane that he and Priestley's wife and daughter are on. The whole airline goes into a wormhole that threatens to destroy all life and the universe itself.Usually these time travel films kind of fall short on recognized science and Termination Point is no exception. It's midpoint between a science fiction and a disaster film and doesn't succeed really as either.
intermedx An interesting concept that totally missed the mark. While science fiction does test the limits of logic and reason, this film is so badly beyond that it pushes one's tolerance of the genre. In the end just a bad film and a wast of a few hours of your life that would be better spent elsewhere. From bad acting to a poor story line, there is little to redeem this film.The cast, while including some talent, does not reach its potential and is overwhelmed by poor cheesy acting by the lesser known actors. Even the CGI is not of a high enough standard to make up for the poor acting. For a movie made for television I guess it is passable, but I have a much higher standard in this day and age of CGI.
kingp_35 Termination point is a surprisingly decent B-movie that is well made on a tiny budget and contains solid acting from most involved. Usually made for TV Sc-Fi channel films have terrible plots with the worst actors imaginable to Termination Point really was a nice surprise that was entertaining from start to finish.The plot is reasonable interesting, a scientist creates a teleportation device that works by first sending the person or object to an alternate universe called "null space" before sending them back to earth in a different place. after learning that his device will be used as a military weapon, he steals it and boards a flight. However authorities find out he is on the flight and attempt to shoot it down. Cue the scientist using the device and the plane and it's passengers becoming stuck in null space. Agent Caleb (a decent Jason Priestley) must race against time to get the plane back to earth by finding a second control device while dealing with rogue agents and a race against time.Now the plot is completely ridiculous and has an incredible amount of plot holes but if you suspend your disbelief there is plenty to entertain you here. The film is well shot with strong acting all round. The race against time aspect is handled very well meaning the film goes along at a fast pace. There is plenty of twists and turns as we find out there are rogue agents trying to steal the device for themselves. The only downside is the awful CGI effects but with such a small budget this can be forgiven, especially since the director managed to get such a decent cast. The soundtrack is pretty terrible and is probably recycled from previous Sci-Fi channel films and the ending makes very little sense if you really think about it but Termination Point is a great little turn your brain off film to watch on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely one of the Sci-Fi channels better offerings which will please most B-Movie fans.
Joe smith The actors are C rated, and they show no emotion in the entire movie. When they learn the vortex is the size of California, it like learning they ran out of milk. Caleb learns his wife and daughter will be neutralized, and he shares no emotions.The plot was not bad, but it is easy to see the movie was made on $500K budget, and every scene was shot only once. The special effects are 1970s.The entire movie seems like a rush, worst than 24, and there is no suspense built in. The dialogs are in same tone, with "We are going to die" like "Where should we eat tonight".What a total waste of my time.
