Steve Dread Central The unsung hero of The Terminators is without a doubt director Xavier S. Puslowski and his ability to keep this mindless hodgepodge moving along at a brisk pace. Rated: 3/5 Jun 25, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I love all Terminator Movies, I grew up on them. kept me going so far! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Really? Someone need a tax write off very badly. They actually paid people to "act" in this disaster? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Rips into the Terminator in the least-inspiring way possible. The characters run around, do nothing, say no meaningful dialog. The effects are poor, the ending is bland, and the whole story is pretty messy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Good lord. Amazingly bad acting and dialogue. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh boy... when you want to rip off popular movies... might as well go big or go home! The Terminators went there big time! In this so bad it's bad low budget piece of electrical waste, we get a whole slew of garbage that rips off some classic films, TV, and doesn't even bother going in a different direction really. So the Terminators are very much modeled after Arnold in their muscle bound short hair look... and the fact they almost all look alike. Instead of time travel we get something more akin to a Battlestar invasion where they first take over the control space station, then all fly up, then all fly back down to invade the planet... or something along those lines. See the story is a little mashed up. There are a lot of different locations and different characters and none of them really seem to have any reason to interact with each other or even be involved with the film. Instead of picking a single group of survivors, we get all sorts of side stories that are completely unecessary. I will say that I was surprised to see some actual sets create to represent the space station interior and the interior of space ships but all of that quickly goes to crap once they decide that L.A. makes for a great place for an invasion to happen. Oh and look, lots of abandoned alleys and warehouses to shoot in. Boooooring! The Terminators has some decent moments but for the most part it is laughable at best and painful for the rest. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Relatively original by Asylum standards. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
