Such a frustrating disappointment

Great Film overall

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The jacket says 2178. This was not a bad movie. I will agree it was like 10 little indians in theme but they didn't pursue the deaths enough to determine if sabotage was involved. Nor did we ever find out who did it. But it must have been the android.However, the movie was believable as was the acting. I didn't care for the drug addict doctor nor was an escape pod for only 2 believable or reasonable. Nor was the ending expected. That comment was BS.It was disappointing that they never reached their destination.I will agree with the comment about the absurdity of an underground bunker on Alcatraz island near the Goldengate bridge. Not a logical place for this.I am disappointed that I could not fully hear the comment on the holographic phone except for mention of everything gone & Nostradamus. But the full comment was indiscernible. Without closed captioning, we may never know his full comment.I could have done without the virtual reality & nudity on them. Those were a waste of time better used for improved story instead. I didn't buy the film to see their virtual reality trips. There was a short lived TV series or pilot very similar with virtual reality & deaths on a space craft. Someone was killing everyone via virtual reality. That series was really bad. I have it somewhere.Kids don't need to see nudity fantasies & drug addict shoot ups to escape problems. Neither were necessary. It is rated R as a result which killed their main audience from watching it. It showed a lack of faith in the movie by the Director or whomever came up with the idea to insert scenes like that. I also would have liked to have seen more about the new planet and more ship & crew functions between the deaths instead of back to back.But still is worth watching for adults. It was a B++ above all other B movies. The acting & sets & story were quite believable. Nothing cheesy even without expensive effects.

This movie is not good by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it's probably one of the worst films ever made. I saw it a long time ago, though, and it was late, and at the time I liked it. I hope to someday see it again, but i don't think that it's going to happen. I still recommend it to people who like bad movies.

First, you start with Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians." A crew is on a star ship and they start being killed off one by one. Add some cheap cliches to attempt to make the characters seem real, like giving the doctor a drug problem (Why is the one character who should be aware of the dangers of drug abuse and is acutely aware there is a limited supply for everyone on board the one who succumbs to it?). Put in the characters behaving by the numbers, saying things like, "We have a mission to uphold"). The movie is so obvious with its plot twists, you start hoping that it's just trying to throw you off, and you see something other than you are expecting. Not at all. In fact, the big surprise plot twist in the film's final act, as well as the "ironic" ending, aren't that surprising or shocking. You watch the movie, wondering what would have happened if they'd tried a little harder.

Terminal Voyage is not a very good film. It's a cheap Alien clone without the character, the suspense or, indeed, the Alien. A multi-national mismatched group of pioneers awake from a hundred years in hyper-sleep : their mission is to begin the colonisation of a new world. The Captain didn't survive the journey and, well, the rest is cliche. The group begin to disintegrate, racial stereotypes are brought to the fore and the Virtual Reality unit does a good line in soft-focus soft-core pornography.Questions : Was the Captain's death sabotage? Do crew members start dying one-by-one? Does someone die inside the VR unit? Is one of the crew secretly an android? Is it obvious from the very start who it is? Does the android's severed head get powered up so that the cast member can sit underneath the table with just their head visible?If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions then you could make a film that would bear an uncanny resemblance to Terminal Voyage.
