Last night I stayed away from the Internet and the blog to
watch, the Steelers take it to the Washington Redskins in their season opener.
Honestly, there is nothing like opening weekend in the NFL and it is the
greatest time of the year (next to Halloween). I did watch a few movies the day
before and am now trying catch up. The next movie for review is the 2015 Australian Sci-Fi entry Terminus.
Plot/ Following a near-fatal accident, David Chamberlain
makes an unprecedented discovery that will not only determine the fate of his
family, but of mankind.
There are times where you can watch a movie, and not truly
absorb it until a few hours later. That was the case with this movie. More of a
drama than Sci-Fi You entry, this movie does paint a strange picture of society
in a very familiar world that many of those who are awake will recognize. While
the movie starts slow and has some sluggish moments, there are some interesting
parts and enough atmospheres to make it a rather easy movie to watch. Unfortunately,
the plot may be revealed too early, the performances are uneven, and some of
the scripting is slow, aspects that definitely wear on you as a viewer. In the
end, this is not a bad movie; it just does not live up to its potential and can
feel unsatisfying. If you love Sci-Fi flicks, give it a shot; you could do
worse.
