Terminator 2 is my favorite movie, I even bought the movie on DVD. So when I saw Militia and the stolen scenes well...I have never laughed so much. How can they steal scenes from a famous movie!? Jim Wynorski gotta be stupid.The story is awful, the acting is bad and the effects are bad. Why recommend this movie? Simply because you are gonna laugh a lot. Militia is the king of the b-movies! The movie is about a patriotic militia group who wants to kill the American president with anthrax. But who cares?Dean Cain acting is horrible and the funny part is that he can see what people are writing on the computer by watching the keyboard when people writes. Superman can probably do that but a normal person? Well this is Militia and in that movie everything is possible.

I almost turned my DVD off when I saw the ripoff from Terminator 2 & Cyberdyne System... But watched anyway if it would bee any more ripoffs and watch for "errors" in the movie. The car-chase.... The back-window implodes, but in almost all other scenes its not broken??? hmm... In the end I can´t figure out how the X-militia leader got the ATF clothes and a bunch of ATF-soldiers in the chopper??? When the blow the Militias Headquarters It looks like an old Castle rather than a big Villa....I thought they would give credits to T2 in the Credits, but they credited 2 other movies "American Ninja 2" and another nr 2.. Well this movie gets 1.5 from me!
... View MoreThe story was decent, but so much footage was ripped from other movies that it was kinda like watching a greatest hits movie. Going into this film, I knew it was low-budget, so the cheap SFX is understandable. Still a decent story....but there were also a lot of plot twists...maybe they should have named it Double Cross....
... View MoreThe opening scene told me everything I needed to know about this film. I know next to nothing about ATF procedures and militia groups, but I will guarantee you I know more about them than the makers of this movie. The ATF raid on the militia camp was carried out with such ridiculous distortions that I immediately lost the ability to get into the movie. Maybe the makers of this movie should have used me as a technical consultant, and I would have helped them make a movie that wasn't so idiotic and contrived. Why do so many Hollywood movies ignore even trying to depict a sense of reality when they try to represent the actions of police or military or even militia groups? If the militia group was so well-trained, why were they all standing out in the open, making themselves perfect targets for the ATF gunships? I'm really sure an ATF tactical commander is going to order the destruction of all the buildings after the militia members surrender!!! Jeeez what a crock!!!!! Any interest I might have had in the remainder of this movie was utterly ruined by the ludicrous depiction of the ATF raid on the militia compound. I long for directors and producers who know how to set an air of reality (or at least the illusion of what I think reality might be) for a movie to allow me to immerse myself in it. It's obviously not for a lack of money. It also seems obvious that the makers of this movie were more interested in preaching some kind from some kind of Hollywood pulpit, disregarding the intelligence of the viewers. Hell...go ahead and make a statement if you want to, but do it without insulting the customer, otherwise you won't even get the chance!
