Since I can't really add anything new or different to what others have written (basically, any review with score of 2 stars or less I'm in agreement with), I decided to add to the list of films Asylum should consider making:Battlestar Galaxia; Star Track, The Motion Movie; Star War IV, A New Hopefulness; Star War V, The Empire Stages a Counter-offensive; Star War VI, The Jedi Comes Back; Babylon 6; Lightning Bug; The Twilight AreaMaybe they should get into historical dramas:Approximately 300; The Passion of the Jesus; Troys; Inglorious Soldiers Who Never Knew Their Fathers; Spartacusus; Saving Corporal Ryan

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

One of these days an Asylum " mockbuster " will land them in court . They've sailed close to the wind before with the likes of TRANSMORPHERS and 2012 DOOMSDAY but watching THE TERMINATORS you really do wonder how much longer they're going to get away with it . It'd also be a pity that someone gets sued for every penny they have over abysmal straight to DVD fodder that Asylum continually churn out As you might expect THE TERMINATORS tries to fool the gullible that it might have something to do with the franchise started by James Cameron in 1984 . Certainly the plot is heavily influenced by the premise of SALVATION where a band of gallant humans try to defeat an android army that has taken over the planet . There are a couple of differences though 1 ) THE TERMINATORS has zero budget 2 ) THE TERMINATORS fails on nearly every technical level Perhaps the worst aspect is the editing where you're left feeling there's large chunks of the film missing . By this I mean you'll be continually rubbing your chin wondering why the characters arrived at such a conclusion or why they're doing such and such a thing . There's a lack of internal continuity and there's a couple of scenes where you can clearly see cars driving in the distance despite the world being under the total domination of the eponymous terminators This is the type of movie you've expected from Asylum over the last couple of years and hardly surprising that there's not many positive reviews on the page . The only thing I think that differentiates this film from other releases by the company is the amount of gore and violence which makes it even less good natured than other asylum movies

I tried. Honestly I did. I did sit down - try to fight this thing to the end so I could stand in front of my computer screen with a pointed finger shouting "HYPOCRITES! YOU ALL ARE ROBOTS!" through gritted teeth when the credits rolled. Alas, I could not. With a plot as slow as a constantly complaining prepubescent white man carrying a constantly complaining injured black girl 200 feet back to the van she somehow fell out of, out of the way of the superhuman hunky death machine following suit at full sprint that actually couldn't catch up, my desire to verbally bash this movie down to a Windows ME TR-1 was silhouetted by the overwhelming challenge to repel me from it.Although there were tough times, however, there were the good times. From the over-amplified, unmotivated gasps of air, to the brief tour of where to have sex in an industrialized building, to cigar-sucking old guy's "We got guns", to unnamed and untalented spaceship worker's "Not a problem. Watch and learn, gentlemen. Watch and learn.", to the futuristic attack warship being outmaneuvered by a path-abiding, big, slow, bright white van (which happens to hold our aforementioned constantly complaining protagonists), to Kurt's "War's a-comin' soon", to, uh... well I couldn't stand watching it at this point. I skipped forward to the end and, huzzah, learned I didn't miss out on much. Oh by the way, should a cyborg mutiny ever should break out and computers start blocking access to their mainframe, take a pointer from this movie and be sure to include a giant 'power to all functional terminators' on/off switch in a random location on your spaceship for good measure, although I'm sure many immature janitors will be subsequently fired because of it.In good fairness, I do give credit to Paul Logan. He kept his mouth shut, gave intimidating furrow-my-brow-and-protrude-my-jawline expressions, and just looked damn good in that outfit - and that's all he needed. Besides, would you rather have Arnold chasing people around while his saggy man-breasts smack his face around? I would too. Laura Walsh also successfully used her cute looks as s crutch and gave a decent performance as well, at least in contrast to the other actors.If you happen to be drunk, a deeply regretful fan of the Terminator franchise, or are just looking for a reason to despise the moral conscious of The Asylum (you only need to go ankle-deep, I assure you), this will give you an entertaining Sunday night.
