The Terminators (2009)

Fantastic!

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

After just reading the plot of this movie, I was skeptical about it. But, hey, who am I to criticize a movie based on its description? Besides, the very handsome Jeremy London is in it. Kurt Ross tells Bronson ti put out his cigarette because the T.R.s can track the temperature change. If they can track the heat of a cigarette, why not just track the heat that is emitted by a human? The T.R.s are seen walking past live humans a few times. If you like to laugh at how bad a movie is or want to be able to compare a good movie and a bad movie, then this movie is not a waste of time, it is an education. The only good thing about this movie is the laughs one gets reading the reviews on IMDb.

I don't put Terminators in the worst 5 Asylum movies(Titanic II, Alien Origin, 2010:Moby Dick, AVH:Alien vs Hunter and Transmorphers), but it is down there with the worst. I am not going to cite it as a rip-off of the Terminator movies, though it is derivative in a way to them, because James Cameron is not among the most original of directors or writers in the first place. Rip-off or not, Terminators is still a terrible movie on every level. The editing is really haphazard that it is difficult to see what is going on at some points, while the effects are overused and very crudely done. The soundtrack is often overbearing and at the end of the day forgettable. The script is stilted and cheesy, often having an aimless quality to it also, while the characters are annoying, the physics is so off the charts that your head is constantly screaming "No, No, NO!" and the story is not only formulaic but also has no momentum whatsoever. The acting is awful too, Jeremy London especially looks lost. So overall, interminably terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I always go to IMDb to have some advice if I have my doubts about a flick. This is such a kind of flick that I found on Blu Ray, new, for only 3 euro's. That price immediately says it all. This can't be a good flick. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to go on your instincts or do have to know more about the distributors. Or do read all the reviewers and see why someone loves a bad movie.This flick came out on the Asylum label and geeks do know what that means. Rip-offs of blockbusters titles. And yes, this just added one letter to make use of The Terminator (1984).Of course already being sued by a major for The Day The Earth Stopped (which The Asylum won) they go on and on by doing so. But the script itself doesn't follow the originals. And that's were so many byers found themselves being fooled. But I like The Asylum more than the SyFy productions because they use good CGI.I enjoyed this flick because there was a story to tell. Maybe there aren't any terminators throughout this flick like seen on the sleeve. The terminators (Paul Logan)here are just humans but they all look the same with the same clothes. But the use of CGI and a lot of effects did work for me. I'm used to see cheap CGI in all those years and this is mediocre. Shotguns are done CGI wise even as they hit the terminator.On part of the acting, I could dig that too. It's not that they are going to win prices but to end, I was amused. I was surprised by the little gore added and the use of red stuff.It's not one that I would recommend to the hoi polloi. This is for the lovers of bad flicks or Z-movies. It's above average even as most of the reviewers are tearing this flick down. Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

This is possibly one of the worst movies made on earth. It can only be compared to Choudenshi Bioman or any such Japanese clown karate movies for kids made in the 70's or 80's.The girls in this film are not even able to walk. Each of their steps seems to be a dance move, as if their shoes were mounted on springs. The cast is trying to depict emotions, but it's really a sad excuse for them for being called actors, or actresses.I've seen it through the end with the hope that it would become better at some point, but it went only worse and wronger. For instance, this movie manages to completely defy the laws of physics. There are heavy objects that suddenly become very light, and then instantly become heavy again.Seriously. Even the worst German detective series are 100 times better than this. Please make yourself a gift and avoid this junk at all cost.
