J Pierre Another "mockbuster" from The Asylum... And, like most of them, it manages to be both weird and incredibly bland at the same time.Mediocre acting, awful special effects and green screens, stereotypical characters, creative commons soundtrack... It's all there! It still manages to stay fun the whole way through, most of the time involuntarily. See a man spill blood all over the walls just because he had his head knocked on a table, poorly rendered space battle, cheesy plot-twists, and so on, and so forth.I give it 2/10, because kudos to Paul Logan as he keeps running throughout the whole movie, which must have been exhausting. This guy is pretty badass.

danspan101 Since I can't really add anything new or different to what others have written (basically, any review with score of 2 stars or less I'm in agreement with), I decided to add to the list of films Asylum should consider making:Battlestar Galaxia; Star Track, The Motion Movie; Star War IV, A New Hopefulness; Star War V, The Empire Stages a Counter-offensive; Star War VI, The Jedi Comes Back; Babylon 6; Lightning Bug; The Twilight AreaMaybe they should get into historical dramas:Approximately 300; The Passion of the Jesus; Troys; Inglorious Soldiers Who Never Knew Their Fathers; Spartacusus; Saving Corporal Ryan

chasemeace The Terminators took a legendary movie (Terminator) and dropped a nuke on it. Every aspect of the movie that could have been written well was not. The story line of the movie had no flow as well as an excess amount of blood splashing around; for example, with one small bullet hole you receive about five gallons of unauthentic appearing blood spraying quite literally everywhere. Looking back on the night I watched this movie, I feel increasingly bitter on why I did not just watch Alien, I had the DVD right there, except I chose to watch The Terminators. Honestly, I could only struggle my way through part of said movie (two-thirds at most) without laughing at the abysmal movie making, fake effects, and awful story line and hitting stop, forever. I have to date watched half of Alien, and it is a wonderful reprieve from The Terminators. Now, back to The Terminators, I would like to be informed of the person who wrote the script, for I would like to give them a piece of my mind. If you are thinking of watching this movie as not to have another boring and movieless night at home, don't, the movieless night is much better.

Paul Andrews The Terminators starts in space as cyborg soldiers known as TR's board a space station hovering above Earth, they take out all human life on the space station & gain complete control of it. Back on Earth in a little town called Winston just outside Los Angeles the residents are shocked to see the city in the distance get nuked, the town is then attacked by dozens of TR's who kill any human they find. Sheriff Reed Carpenter (A Martinez) & a few survivors manage to make it out of Winston but the killer TR's are never far behind. Eventually they discover that the computers that control the TR's is on the space station & they will have to mount a daring mission in outer space to board the station & shut the computer down in order to save humanity from the machines it created...Directed by Xavier S. Puslowski this is yet another 'Mockbuster' rip-off from those seriously untalented people at The Asylum, I won't even bother stating what this film rips-off as it's blatantly obvious from the title. It's not just the title either, does a plot that sees a super computer built to defend Earth actually turn on us & nuke us while have robotic cyborg killers eliminate the rest of mankind that the bombs didn't. It's never made clear when the film is set & it just doesn't feel right, there are space stations & robots that look exactly like human beings yet the rest of the technology on show throughout the film is very contemporary. It's never explained why, once mankind realises that the TR's have turned against us, the authorities just don't send all the missiles & nukes they can into space to blow the space station up. The whole film feels cheap with a so called army of TR's consisting of about three robots & what was that slightly bigger robot at the end all about? Why did it need all that power? It was barely bigger than the standard TR's anyway. The plot twist at the end doesn't amount to much & why did they leave the Sheriff behind in the shuttle anyway? Why not use his robotic powers? Why was there only one gun that could kill the TR's? I find it hard to believe something as advanced as the TR's couldn't detect body heat or have some other means of tracking people & the script is also inconsistent when it needs to be like one TR stands in front of a truck & the truck flips over yet later on another TR gets run over & smashed. While at a stretch I can believe that they maybe be unaffected by bullets surely their clothes would show bullet holes? At almost an hour & a half The Terminators doesn't half drag at times, sure the first twenty odd minutes is quite good with a fair amount of action but once the film hits the woods it slows right down & just becomes a mess of standard clichéd sci-fi ideas & themes that end up contradicting themselves & adds nothing new to the mix itself.Unlike most PG rated crap from The Asylum there's some blood & gore in The Terminators, there are a few bloody shootings including someone getting shot through the head & the camera lingers on the huge blood splat on the wall behind him, someone's jaw is ripped off, there are a couple of decapitated heads & a bit of blood. Amazingly the CGI computer effects work isn't that bad, the actual space station & spaceships look pretty good although whenever a CGI effect & real actor are in the same shot things go to hell & the final evil robot thing with one red eye looks awful. The Asylum took down all promotion of The Terminators from it's website after they were threatened with a lawsuit, unfortunately they still released the finished film.Apparently filmed in just thirteen days in California, the whole thing looks & sounds cheap although the CGI spaceship effects look alright. The acting is bad, that's all that needs to be said really.The Terminators is a total rip-off of a film that we all know, it's not even a good rip-off. Sure the first twenty odd minutes is alright & even quite fun at times but the remaining one hundred & ten minutes sort of spoils it. Another awful effort from The Asylum, have they even made one good film yet?
