At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

... View MoreAn interesting concept that totally missed the mark. While science fiction does test the limits of logic and reason, this film is so badly beyond that it pushes one's tolerance of the genre. In the end just a bad film and a wast of a few hours of your life that would be better spent elsewhere. From bad acting to a poor story line, there is little to redeem this film.The cast, while including some talent, does not reach its potential and is overwhelmed by poor cheesy acting by the lesser known actors. Even the CGI is not of a high enough standard to make up for the poor acting. For a movie made for television I guess it is passable, but I have a much higher standard in this day and age of CGI.
... View MoreAgain one of the airplane adventure movies. It resembles the movies about "Oh, we're all gonna die if our hero guy can't save us!". It is again a fight between the good, bad, and ugly. The scientific point used in the script is about Wormholes. So, if anyone says "Time travel should be fun but it is boring here", please go check what a WORMHOLE is. The wormhole is exactly seen in the movie. For those who like to have just fun but no education, please take a nap or do something else.If you are interested in science - fiction a little bit, you may enjoy the movie. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will have a good time.
... View MoreThe actors are C rated, and they show no emotion in the entire movie. When they learn the vortex is the size of California, it like learning they ran out of milk. Caleb learns his wife and daughter will be neutralized, and he shares no emotions.The plot was not bad, but it is easy to see the movie was made on $500K budget, and every scene was shot only once. The special effects are 1970s.The entire movie seems like a rush, worst than 24, and there is no suspense built in. The dialogs are in same tone, with "We are going to die" like "Where should we eat tonight".What a total waste of my time.
... View MoreEvery weekend I look through the list of movies the Sci-Fi channel is showing. I won't deny a lot of them range from silly to just plain awful - wooden acting, cheap special effects, horrible scripts - but in there among the silly stuff are a number of what I call "hidden gems"; movies perfect to lean back in an over stuffed chair with popcorn and a soda and just enjoy the ride.That's how I felt when I finished "Termination Point". It will never gross $100M or win any Oscars, but taken on its own merits it's really quite good. Jason Priestly plays a detective going on vacation with his family when he gets the call to go after a renegade scientist (Lou Diamond Phillips) who has stolen a scientific device.What I especially loved about the movie is that, unlike most modern horror/science fiction movies (especially those that seem to make their way to the Sci-Fi Channel) the "surprise twist" ending doesn't have the monster or killer reviving once again (to show the last two hours you just spent were wasted and evil really wins) but has an uplifting twist where things actually work out better.
