Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Habib (movie_obsessed_dude) POSSIBLE SPOILERS INCLUDED!How could a group of people deal with this ultimate poor plot? Though it had little poorly exiting shots which undoubtedly make you yawn! The lack of reality and even consistency in the plot could be easily observed with poor acting conducted by three main people. The fake relationship going between main people was damn simple and idiot enough to let you go through with it completely.The worst part of this movie could be addressed to where Brad found the server infected by that stupid virus and was trying to stop it by pushing two buttons on a GAMEBOY!!!Has little funny stupid elements to waste your time on!!!Habib's Assessment: 2 / 10!

kapecki In the '50s the standard low budget movie monster was some innocent insect enlarged by radiation; today, it's a computer or similar technological device run amuck, often infected with a virus or some such. Neither premise was ever much grounded in science, but at least followed a series of familiar conventions, both with respect to the human and non-human protagonists. "Terminal Error" fits the genre, though, of course, made for the drive-in has succumbed to direct to video or (in this case)made for cable .That said, this is an ominous enough little film that its ambitious, but ultimately cheesy special effects (thankfully limited to a small screen) and entirely predictable plot don't keep it from being entertaining in the same way those old drive-in films kept you watching.In brief, a disgruntled employee uses the teenaged son of his ex-boss to infect the company's computers with a virus designed for revenge. Since these computers are widely used as control devices, the area's power grids, elevators, traffic signals, Army missiles are all put in the hands of our evil doer until the virus begins to mutate and turn on humankind in general. The acting is competent enough, and there is even a bit of witty dialog between the boss and his Stephen Hawking-like associate. If you don't expect much from this movie and need a monster fix, that's what you'll get, and you probably won't be too disappointed.

F1ame 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.

jbeatty89 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.
