Termination

This is a collection or short videos that are, while related, not part of one contiguous story. Treat it as such and you will appreciate it more.

An anthology film with real talent. Where I didn't always understand what was going on it was always visually stimulating and the acting was always good. Sound and cinematography was spot on.

Great intriguing work.

Gets four stars for the girls. It is not a full-length movie. Rather, it is four... or five short scenes. All them completely unoriginal; but not without some intriguing attractiveness. The best is indeed the cyberpunk sequence; with the teen-Asians. The girl in "The Andromeda Strain" part is very beautiful; as is the little blonde on the film-noir train. Saw this on Tubi, the free streaming service. Tubi has a very odd assortment of stuff; some of it is good, some is not. I think this film was made as sort of a showcase of abilities: both filmmakers, and stars. Oh, the teen girl in the "Doppleganger" part was pretty, too.

Save yourself from wasting 90min of your life. Thank you.

This is a prime example how NOT to make an anthology. What this obviously needs is a framework. Think either Sherezades 1002 nigh structure, where a tale teller tells a listener: "Prick up your ears for these five stories i've heard", or someone could find a log book on an abandoned space ship, the last remains of a (not so?) great culture called Homo Sapiens. This would have made it more palatable. Now, by suggesting that there's a connection, while there actually isn't one, it results only in annoyed viewers. I agree that the Asian cyberpunk story was the best, if only for the daring production decision to shoot on the sttreets of Tokyo, using the unwitting public as unaware extras. And it has truly unnerving body modifications on top of that.

PS The framework, at its cheapest could be just a voice over....
