Legend says that the sacred crystal is the source for all life and was created at the beginning of time. Kyla has sought the crystal to use its powers for himself and he takes the crystal after smashing the defenders on the Planet Sintaria. But there is another identical crystal on Earth and Ladera heads there to get it before the evil Kyla. She finds that Jed has taken the crystal from is hiding place, but Victor and his inexhaustible hit men want it for money they gave to Jed. Ladera easily handles the weak earthlings and saves Jed, but Kyla is also after the crystal. Jed and Ladera must find the crystal before Kyla, the clueless cops or the dimwitted villains.

An undistinguished attempt at a science fiction thriller, with plot elements borrowed from THE TERMINATOR. This lame entry into the genre is directed by William Mesa, who also made a mess of DNA, another horrendous rip off. The plot, or lack of plot, involves two aliens hunting for a crystal on earth. Yes, it's as silly as it sounds, with scenes such as the police station being attacked borrowed directly from THE TERMINATOR. Ludicrous in the extreme, this hokum actually thinks its good as scene after unoriginal scene is paraded out in front of the audience.The characters are all clichéd and one-dimensional, from the stultifying human lead to the black policeman who just misses the action, to the main baddie Kyler who tries to look menacing but just comes across as an old man with a chip on his shoulder. Brigitte Nielsen proves again that she simply cannot act, and the hype of her appearing in a leather outfit is just over the top, it's nothing to write home about. Supporting actors are wasted in minor roles, with Craig Fairbrass who has a certain cult appeal appearing as a tough lieutenant of the army who gets killed in the opening scene. As does Sam Raimi, making a welcome but all far too brief cameo appearance, apparently feeling nostalgic about his low budget roots.The special effects are also extraordinarily bad. The explosions are the best things but even they are unrealistic, mainly superimposed over the top of the film. At one point, a police car explodes, only for the car to appear momentarily undamaged for a second after the explosion has ended! Childish laser guns are used, as well as that bad 'electricity' effect used in everything from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART 2 to FRANKENHOOKER. There is some interesting stop-motion work in the form of a killer robot which looks strangely like the robot droids in THE PHANTOM MENACE to liven things up; it looks tacky to the extreme but it's a welcome relief from the standard computer effects of today's films. There are some brief flashes of gore too, but as this is a 15 certificate (PG-13) film, don't expect too much violence - it's mainly off screen. TERMINAL FORCE is a below average B movie, with a few factors making it rise above complete obscurity. Watch it if you're a fan of bad straight-to-video science fiction.

They seem to have spent their whole budget on the not too badly done Sci-Fi battle at the beginning. After that, nothing but garbage. It looks filmed on a soundstage, the plot makes little sense, and the acting is pretty poor. As usual, Brigitte Nielsen looks pretty darned good and shows a fair bit of cleavage.Aside from her and the first 10 minutes, it's a waste of film.Matt

A funny sci fi motion picture which I thought was pleasant, and of course the special effects were great. Brigette Neilson is always a delight as a tough warrior, with a "kick butt" attitude. It was a surprising delight to see actress Louisa Moritz again after so many years making a brief appearance as the Bar Lady.

Saw this the other night on late night TV. A piece of poop really! There are some fine performances by anyone who died in the film, because considering the (over) acting, the dead ones were the most believable!The plot steals from extensively from Terminator & T2. Being a 1995 release, one would expect more! Moreover, the poor optical effects makes this feel like 80s schlock rather than 90s SF.I also have to mention one scene where the directors tried their best to pull off the night club scene from Blade Runner. Looked more like the cafeteria scene from my local senior citizen's club.If you watch this again, watch out in the club scene for the so called "Chinese" writing on the walls. Imagine someone trying to write in English without knowing the Roman alphabet and that's what you had on those walls, utter gibberish.I recommend you see this whilst inebriated, apparently the writers were!
