GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

finnfriends Well, it's another knockoff from the Asylum, the guys who brought us Transmorphers, Alien vs Hunter, and Snakes on a Train, as well as a bunch of monster movies that aren't stolen from anything. So is this a good movie? Surprisingly, I say yes. The script is as good as any mindless action flick, the cinematography isn't bad (except during one of the fight scenes), the TR robots seem at least a little menacing (come on, pulling someone's jaw off is totally bad-ass) and the special effects are decent. The main hints their budget was short were only that most of the TRs look human and they avoid lengthy CGI scenes. When CG does appear, it's pretty good (at least as it appears on my laptop screen). A big step up from Transmorphers, which looked horrible. Also, I thought it was cool that some shots featured multiple human TRs at once, proving they had the budget to "clone" and actor. In terms of story, it's pretty average but it can genuinely surprise you. Many characters die without me seeing it coming, emphasizing how there are now evil robots EVERYWHERE. Also I expected Mysterious Guy to turn out to be a TR but he wasn't! In fact (spoiler) the Sheriff is! Another good thing is the makeup and set design. I never went "this looks fake" except in one scene at the very start, and the continuity of how characters look is good (for example if you have blood on your face, it's there for the rest of the movie). Also, I find everyone getting bloodier over the movie actually adds to the tension. The acting is all right for it's budget (with exceptions).So anyway, the story: (such as it is)A few years into the future, robots called TRs do most of our work. For No Reason Ever Given, they rebel. Some characters blame terrorists, but we never find out. So anyway, a small town sheriff, a woman, the woman her husband cheated with, some angry guy, a few expendable characters, and Mysterious Guy have to escape their town and help shut down the TRs from a space station (because Mysterious Guy knows how). So in the end, God help me, I liked this. It avoids the Asylum pitfalls of boring dialog and horrible CGI, and they managed to pull off a fun but forgettable sci-fi action movie.

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.

Chilla Black The script for this film is terrible. I had to go back a couple of times to re-watch certain scenes in order to follow the story. One example being the fact the TR-4 "were self-aware", yet the TR-5 model (as portrayed by the Sheriff) were not. In the logic of every Terminator supposedly bettering the previous model that aspect did not make sense. I suppose some of the effects were OK, especially those including multiple instances of the TR-4's. Interesting to note that when it is declared that all major cities in U.S.A. have been completely destroyed they are stated in apparent order of economic importance, with Portland getting the wooden spoon. I find it hard to believe that Miami could be ever destroyed either. Some of the acting is a bit like a 1980's teen-horror with a gang of kids and an adult all running around like headless chickens trying to think of a way to win, and what is with the Sheriff when he witness a nuke hit L.A. OK so he is revealed as a machine but at the time its as if he has just remembered he left the oven on. I suppose the actor who plays the character Chloe did an OK job. The guy portraying the TR-4 was abysmal and in scenes aboard the space station when they have lost all power you can even see him moving in the close ups. Poor, very poor. Furthermore as has already been stated by other reviewers, the guy is totally ripping off Arnie's style in his manner and even his initial move, where he rips the commanders heart out. I suppose that one could be construed as a typical Terminator programmed action...? It could have been better if the sheriff had not been so bad, his character totally lets the film down as does the fact that the military are virtually nowhere to be seen apart from at the end when a small band led by a guy resembling Busta Rhymes suddenly come into it. I doubt i will ever watch this movie again.

nooware This is possibly one of the worst movies made on earth. It can only be compared to Choudenshi Bioman or any such Japanese clown karate movies for kids made in the 70's or 80's.The girls in this film are not even able to walk. Each of their steps seems to be a dance move, as if their shoes were mounted on springs. The cast is trying to depict emotions, but it's really a sad excuse for them for being called actors, or actresses.I've seen it through the end with the hope that it would become better at some point, but it went only worse and wronger. For instance, this movie manages to completely defy the laws of physics. There are heavy objects that suddenly become very light, and then instantly become heavy again.Seriously. Even the worst German detective series are 100 times better than this. Please make yourself a gift and avoid this junk at all cost.
