Terminal Force

A funny sci fi motion picture which I thought was pleasant, and of course the special effects were great. Brigette Neilson is always a delight as a tough warrior, with a "kick butt" attitude. It was a surprising delight to see actress Louisa Moritz again after so many years making a brief appearance as the Bar Lady.

Part "Star Wars", part "Terminator", but ALL turkey. A film so bad it needs to go by aliases: Galaxis AKA Galactic Force AKA Star Crystal AKA Terminal Force...

After watching it I can't believe it was made in 1995 - I thought hairdos and costume design that bad could only have come from the mid-80s. Maybe it was kept in the can for 10 years before someone had the gall to release it.

There's not a single part of film making that this movie doesn't insult. Some might think it has a kind of so-bad-it's-funny kind of appeal, but that wears thin very quickly.

And I can't finish without mentioning the acting; the combined sum of the bad acting in this movie would dwarf the combined sum of bad acting in any other movie in the history of film.

Don't watch it, not even for a laugh.

Saw this the other night on late night TV. A piece of poop really! There are some fine performances by anyone who died in the film, because considering the (over) acting, the dead ones were the most believable!

The plot steals from extensively from Terminator & T2. Being a 1995 release, one would expect more! Moreover, the poor optical effects makes this feel like 80s schlock rather than 90s SF.

I also have to mention one scene where the directors tried their best to pull off the night club scene from Blade Runner. Looked more like the cafeteria scene from my local senior citizen's club.

If you watch this again, watch out in the club scene for the so called "Chinese" writing on the walls. Imagine someone trying to write in English without knowing the Roman alphabet and that's what you had on those walls, utter gibberish.

I recommend you see this whilst inebriated, apparently the writers were!

At first I wanted to blame the actors for their bad acting and then I wanted to blame the director, but I believe the largest blame should go to the screenwriter. Every performance in this film (even by the extras) sucks (that's the director's fault), but the words they are attempting to utter are so bad that the problem must start with the screenwriter. Not only is the dialog bad, the plot doesn't follow any logical sense.

Don't waste any part of your life watching this movie!

They seem to have spent their whole budget on the not too badly done Sci-Fi battle at the beginning. After that, nothing but garbage. It looks filmed on a soundstage, the plot makes little sense, and the acting is pretty poor. As usual, Brigitte Nielsen looks pretty darned good and shows a fair bit of cleavage.

Aside from her and the first 10 minutes, it's a waste of film.
