Too derivative for its own good. Go to Full Review

The issue with Terminus is that it strives for a very ambitious place in the universe but lacks what it takes to get there. Go to Full Review
Mark Demetrius FILMINK (Australia) 01/14/2016
Terminus is slow moving and often underlit - presumably in the interests of ambience, but the murkiness gets monotonous and the creepy soundtrack music does little to alleviate the torpor. Go to Full Review

3/5
Go in with mild expectations and great nostalgia for old school science fiction cinema and you won't be disappointed with Terminus. Go to Full Review

TJ S Aug 20 Rotten Tomatoes and others HIGHLY recommended Weapons. I went and saw it with great expectations. Slow, boring, derivative. The scariest thing that afternoon was the thunderstorm outside when I left. TERMINUS on the other hand was exponentially better. Highly recommended. In fact, I’ll watch it again. See more Yoshid L @Yoshid Apr 10 I’ll give it two stars because I don’t want to be mean. This is one of those movies that’s make you wonder how people come up with the money it takes to make a movie. See more Al P @BoosterAp Feb 17 Good plot. The girl constantly crying over her dead mum was annoying so skipped a few scenes. Unfortunately lost interest but YouTubed the ending. See more Nathan M 12/30/2024 Movie was a new take on an old concept but did a good job. Kept me engaged the entire way through. Seemed a little low budget but had great actors. Actually had a good ending. I'd watch it again. See more Bryan B @heybryan 12/10/2024 Confusing Mish mash of ET and cocoon with a AI ending. Was never sure why characters were doing what they were doing or what their goals were. See more 02/24/2019 I read all the negative reviews and I get it. Its not the greatest movie ever. I have a short attention span and a lot of slow moving films lose my interest quickly. Terminus is slow moving and a little drawn out, but there is just enough going on to keep your curiosity going. Don't expect an overly exciting scifi flick, just go into it expecting to be entertained. I think it was worth the watch and was not left dissapointed at the end. Overall, I would recommend this if you've seen all the blockbusters and are just looking for something different. See more Read all reviews
