There's a massive amount of criticism with this movie . The CGI is terrible ? Yes it is especially the opening scene in the Ukraine . The plot is stupid ? yes it is . Very stupid . It's full of scientific nonsense ? Indeed it is . You'll fall out of seat how ludicrous everything plays out . However none of this would mattered if the film had realised its potential The problem with the potential is there's a lot of scope for cruel things to happen . Certainly an idea of a super intelligent self aware virus is a good premise which could have ended up as a cross between PULSE and TERMINATOR 2:JUDGEMENT DAY . Unfortunately we once again endure TVM style kitchen sink dramas when we should have been watching lots of people suffering a grisly fate like the occupants of a lift , so the potential is sadly wasted

We're supposed to believe a computer goofball gives a 'virus' to a kid in a song which gets on the kid's dad's computer and infects multiple city facilities...killing people and blowing up phone booths. Yeah, and the virus is a 'smart virus' which makes judgement calls. No thrills, no monsters to watch (unless you count Timothy Busfield (goofball); or Michael Nouri looking very old, and not even remotely giving a performance. Marina Sirtis is very ill-used here. I hope she smacked the screen writer and the director after she saw this drivel.

The art of tension is creating high stakes, and then dancing on the edge of disaster until the climax.When the audience is cringing at the plethora of ridiculous scenarios spewed onto the screen in front of them, tension is not achieved.The basic premiss is not too bad. We've seen these virus films before, and the potential is there for a couple of programmer spods to do effective battle with a virus. But you have to truly research the subject, and you might realize computers can't fire guns, sign cheques, take showers... any of which would have not seemed out of place in this dross.There is little grace in the action. They pull over to have domestic conversations. Insert irregular and obtrusive dialogue. We might as well put a colour coded bar on to denote main and subplots.All that said, if you are the kind of person who doesn't know how to wind up your sundial, then you'll probably love this film.

Terminal Error might possibly be the worst film I have seen, EVER! Although I must admit I knew what I was getting into while watching the first three minutes on PAX TV. The special effects were what first drew me in. They were as realistic as gameboy graphics. Speaking of gameboy, until tonight I was unaware it could be plugged into a mainframe and used to write a computer virus. This is an example of how plausible the entire plot is. The film is riddled with impossible capabilities of a home computer. Not to mention how a computer controls the myriad electronic devices which aren't even connected to the net. This film lacks truly lacks suspense. I suppose if you went to the store to get more beer you might have missed something.(but I didn't miss much) Even though I found this film dreadful I would watch it again. I would would even recommend it to others, but only if they were in a large group consuming mind altering substances. I look forward to seeing other films by director John Murlowski. I can only imagine Santa with Muscles is equally as entertaining.
