Terminators is the latest in Asylum’s fanfiction line of `everyone else is doing it, why can’t we’ movies. The plot is part Battlestar Galactica (the android at the end is a Cylon) and part Terminator. They got a weightlifter to run around and be a killing android monster. There are supposed to be hundreds of these things, and I can almost buy they all look like the same guy but why are they all dressed exactly the same? The `acting’ in this movie is bad, but so is the plot, the script and the directing, so why be picky? The special effects have picked up a bit from Asylum’s early days, which isn’t saying a lot. They still could be a lot worse.

The ending really left a bad taste in my mouth, to be honest. I can forgive a lot about a movie if the end at least makes sense, but this one is left me scratching my head. Who is a robot and who isn’t? Why does…. Well, I can’t say that without giving away the end, but the way the main robot is defeated doesn’t really make sense.

Look, it’s obviously a cheesy D rate movie. Have your eyes open going in. I always get a little peeved at the reviewers that snark “THIS WAS THE WORST MOVIE EVER”, I mean, looking at it, you know it’s not Oscar material. But if you are looking for a very cheesy movie to enjoy with a few friends, and a few adult beverages, it is a fun choice. Still expect to laugh, not be dazzled with sci-fi greatness.
