Who payed the critics

Boring

Best movie of this year hands down!

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

Terminators had me laughing out loud so often that I couldn't help but be charmed. Taken as a spoof it gets a higher rating from me than if I had viewed it as a serious film. I would have watched this just because it has A. Marinez in it. The actor who plays Sam is a new favorite in a couple of B films I've seen. I'm going to start his fan club! He led his resistance with a cigar in his mouth. What cool. Way to go Gary Miller-Youst! A campy Sci Fi about artificial intelligence attempting to take over the world with a plucky group of human resistance fighters battling to save the planet. I especially like the one liners. The amount of fake blood in some of the scenes was hilarious. If you like spoofs and spunky, you will like this film. All in all, the movie was a perfect Saturday afternoon flick.

...of course, that's not saying much. The celebrated/hated "mockbuster" studio strikes again with "The Terminators," their least subtle ripoff yet. If the title doesn't make it totally obvious to you, this is a Z-grade "Terminator" wanna-be, with a few bits stolen from "Battlestar Galactica" thrown in for good measure.The story: sometime in the near future, mankind has developed a lifelike android called a "TR-4," which is designed to perform menial labor and odd jobs for us. The robots are all controlled from a central power source in a satellite that orbits earth. For an unexplained reason, one day the TR-4's (all of which look like Paul Logan of "Mega Piranha" fame) suddenly rise up and begin destroying our cities and killing every human they can get their mechanical hands on. I have to say that the opening scenes here are actually pretty good (by Asylum standards anyway); there's some cool bone-crushing TR-on-human carnage/splatter and even some halfway decent outer space special effects.After the whiz-bang opening, though, things quickly devolve into the standard Asylum formula, i.e. a lot of bad actors playing unlikable characters who endlessly bicker with one another as they travel through a continuing series of cheap looking set pieces. Occasionally a TR-4 pops up and picks somebody off, everybody screams and runs away, repeat as necessary. The only "name" actors in this flick are Jeremy London (of "Party of Five" fame) and A. Martinez (of "L.A. Law," many moons ago), as a scientist who works for the robot manufacturing company and a small town sheriff, respectively. My favorite character was "Chloe," an cute-as-hell brunette who looks good even when she's running through tunnels covered in dirt and splatters of fake blood. The idea is that this band of plucky survivors need to steal a space ship and get to the satellite that controls the TR's, so they can shut down their power source and de-activate them. Said satellite (which appears to be made entirely of recycled sets from previous Asylum films) is filled with its own set of threats of course (of course there'll be an exo-skeleton, this is a "Terminator" ripoff after all!) and the biggest hoot for me was when they finally found the control panel for the TR-4's, and it was merely a big "ON/OFF" switch. I will not reveal here whether or not our plucky survivors manage to defeat the Big Robot Threat, but you can probably figure it out without my help."The Terminators" is the kind of movie you watch on SyFy Channel at 1 in the morning, i.e. when your expectations are extremely lowered. Occasionally it approaches competence, but the six-pack budget quickly brings it back down to earth. Not the worst Asylum film I've seen but far from the best. Let's hope that these Terminators will not be back!!!

Well...You always think it can't get any worse, and guess what: "It can!" This movie is trying to piggy-back on the success of Terminator, and of course I expected something similar with equal "quality". No, this is nothing even close to "The Terminator" movies! It sucks, did I say it sucks already? It's a complete and utter waste of your money, and if you like Science Fiction and Robot-based movies even a bit, then please avoid this movie. It's bad acting, bad script, bad special effects (they're not even special), bad everything. Well, at least you've deserved one price: "The price for worst SF movie I've seen so far!". I wonder why people even make these movies! All people that worked on this movie: "Get yourself a job, as you don't belong in movie-world and you're a disgrace to cinematography."

I really don't know what they were thinking while making this movie but this is clearly a classic for the worst movie ever genre. When we look at the director, we see the genius behind another classic, Transmorphers. The bad news is, this one is even worse. I mean, it is a 2009 movie, even a high school kid can make much better visual effects, the acting is horrible, directing is even worse and it looks like it was done with zero budget. There is nothing positive about it, really. They could at least try some cheap make-up for the terminators. After a gun fight, you hear a lot of bullets hitting metal (which is I assume what they call the terminator) and the guy doesn't have a single scratch on his body. Even the Fox was spending some money for the terminator series (they were crying afterward so hard but that is not the topic now). Moral of the story, I hope this director never try another sci-fi movie again but avoid this one by all means.
