Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Best movie ever!
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Yes, Skiffy strikes again with a movie made up of poor special effects and mediocre actors...The plot is that a shower of tiny meteorites pierce an astronaut's space suit, and infect him with insect DNA. A hot female entomologist is called in. (Because, honestly, only in a Skiffy movie can a female entomologist be considered "hot") and teams up with a NASA mission specialist nicknamed "Geranimo". (Seriously, this is what passes for writing on Skiffy!) Well, the insect burst out of the astronaut's body, and they look just like, oh, regular moths. Then the infect other people, who grow extra limbs and need to suck the life out of other people. Throw in the gung-ho national security guy, some other minor characters who probably slept with the producers, and what you get is two hours of mess that Skiffy will put on one of their weekend "bug" marathons....
While repairing a spacecraft, an astronaut is perforated in the arm by a tiny meteor. Once back in Houston, he stays in the hospital for a further examination. Along the night, he breeds some sort of alien moths that attack people with B-negative blood type, transforming them in creatures with claws. Dr. Jerome 'Geronimo' Horne (Nicholas Lea) and Dr. Savannah Bailey (Jamie Lurner) have forty-eight hours for finding a way of destroying the aliens, otherwise Houston will be completely bombed to limit the outbreak."Threshold" is a non-original sci-fi movie with the usual clichés, and with a storyline that mixes "The Astronaut's Wife", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", "Alien" and other sci-fi of the 50's and 60's. The ham Nicholas Lea is awful, the effects are very poor, and in the end it is a watchable flick for killing time only. The conclusion suggests a sequel that fortunately has not been filmed. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Invasores" ("Invaders")
There's nothing much to discuss. This starts out okay, for about ten minutes, and then proceeds to get worse moment by moment. An astronaut in space is hit by small "meteorites" that turn out to be of alien insect origin and upon returning to Earth, they leave this man alone in a regular hospital with the window open. No quarantine, no security, no special attention at all. Then, two of three people who know that this is an alien life form that has not only killed the astronaut, but has also escaped through the open window, then proceed to go kayaking and biking. And this is just the beginning of the illogical parts. However, the most annoying & mystifying aspect of this is that the interesting and talented Nicholas Lea can't get better parts than this. I don't get it. Everyone I know was impressed and/or intrigued with him in The X-Files, but he never capitalized on it. What a shame.
Okay, first off, this is a Sci-Fi original. So that tells us right of the bat that this isn't exactly going to be The Empire Strikes Back. However, it did have a few good points. For example, the movie was very loyal. Whoever wrote the script knew what they where talking about, that being bugs of course. Also, the acting and effects where good in the main categories. There where also some creative twists and excellent camera work. Yet, as I said before, this isn't exactly Star Wars.First of all, there was some pretty cheesey dialogue. Also, not the most gripping plot line. In my opinion the story kind of falls flat on it's face after the first hour or so. The ending was not at all well done. It just seemed like it was thrown together at the last possible second. Rather anti-climatic if you ask me. But then again, there wasn't much to build up on.
