The Terminators

This is a rather peculiar item. It's pretty hard to resist the title," The Terminators " combined with this box art. But if your expecting an army of humanoid robots like the ones on the cover you will certainly be disappointed. There isn't much of a lot/story to this. Just a lot of disjointed stuff happens. Taking place in a future time, soon enough to still have cell phones, yet far enough that lifelike androids serve man and seemingly have replaced humans in at least one military function. For some reason or another (its hard to figure) these cybernetic musclemen have turned on us and dropped a big bomb on a major U.S. city. Now we follow a group of simple small town folk as they try to survive the onslaught while trying to get to a space station to turn the androids/cyborgs off. Why this is their job and no one else is trying to get there is a mystery. The otherconflict comes when it is learned that any of the humans may actually be robots themselves and they must deduct who is friend and who is foe. The major problem with all of this is the tiny shot on video budget and look of the movie, and the most disjointed editing I have ever seen. I really had a hard time telling where on character is in relation to another. Very confusing. A lot of characters just dont behave logically or even how a human being would react at all. Several characters display bizarre actions and decision making. At times it is actually hard to tell what people are saying. That certainly doesn't help. And I am not revealing any "spoilers" when I say that the movie has no end, resolution or climax. The movie simply stops, as though the film broke or, more than likely was never finished. And that is the overall feeling you get from this film. Unfinished. You feel from time to time that something is missing and often there is no motivation for characters to behave as they do. Likewise, conflicts are introduced and never resolved.To be fair. The special effects, all digital, are quite good. Not incredible but certainly much better than you would expect from a cheapie such as this. There is a boss robot that does look like the ones on the cover art. But it is only one. The rest are all just musclemen in tanktops. Some, but not all, are played by the same actor, suggesting an assembly like production. The commentary is also very strange and it is almost impossible to make out what they are saying.

One cannot watch a low budget movie and expect Academy Award winning material. Compared to a lot of resent independent films I’ve watched lately, I think acting, directing, filming, writing and special effects in The Terminators are surprisingly good. If the ending was less confusing, I would have given this movie 4 stars. Spoiler Alert: I've got to say the TR5 Main Control switch was very unspectacular

with techknology its cool what they can do but extremely lacking in acting and story and screenplay

Lots of people screaming and talking when they really should be silent and that's the first 20 minutes. The acting is terrible and the pretty women have paint all over them. The end there is a box that looks just like a safety switch on a dumpster. You will now it when you see it. The special effects are okay and could be tolerated considering the budget but the screaming and fake acting was too much for me.

I very rarely critique movies, but this is the absolute worst movie I've seen since The Color Purple. IT SUCKS! Don't waste your time. Go read a book, watch the paint dry, grass grow or better yet, study to get your Ham Radio license. You'll get way more enjoyment out of that than what this very poor "movie" could ever provide!

This "Movie" , if you can call it one, is like 'C' quality.. Disjointed does not even begin to tell the tale of how bad this - stream of moving images with sound is.. What a waste of time.. I thought I might see some FX of the original movies, but Not! Don't waste your time..

The item was scratched upon arrival and fell out during shipping.Item fell out of its hub

all 3 rate actors, plot line is predictable, and script/action is snooze worthy

If you can forget Arnie you will probably enjoy this rip off. Paul Logan, not the greatest of actors, does not say a word.

Chiaramente NON destinato alle sale cinematografiche, ma soprattutto al noleggio e vendita.Rimane un film di nicchia perchè comunque il migliore rimane sempre e solo il "vero" Terminator ideato e scritto da Cameron. Il film parte a mio avviso con il passo giusto per poi lentamente decelerare quasi a fermarsi senza sviluppare la trama in particolari sequenze; quelle battute inutili alla base terra danno letteralmente l'impressione che stiano aspettando il sopravvento de i terminators e quindi l'inevitabile massacro, prevedibile al 100%.... Gli effetti manco a dirlo sono in CGI basilari per risparmiare sulle spese di produzione, tuttavia sono accettabili, consapevole che si poteva andare ben oltre per un "titolone" da prima pagina. Il finale lascia intravedere un seguito.... mah

Das Video hat mit Terminator so viel zu tun, wie Fisch und Fahrrad.Qualität unterirdisch , Story grausam, Spannung nicht vorhanden, Tricktechnik nicht vorhandenKids in der 4ten Klasse machen Videoprojekte die Spannender und Professioneller sind, wie dieser Schund.Klare Zeitverschwendung, sich dafür vor den Fernseher zu setzen. Lieber Staubsaugen und Abspühlen !!

Not so good
