I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

TERRARIUM is an indie-budget science fiction thriller that was shot in somebody's back yard, so you get an idea of just how cheap it really. The story has a bunch of astronauts crash-landing their spacecraft on an alien planet, where they're trapped and attacked by an alien with glowing red eyes. This single location outing contains laughable production values, cardboard sets, and actors who never have a chance. It's painfully slow to boot, and really has to be seen to be believed.

terrariumthemovie.com Starring: Timothy S. Daley Written and Directed by : Mike Conway Okay this film freaked me out. I have claustrophobia and a fear of the dark... The monster was done well,The creepy keepers were well thought out. I saw the extras ,And like everyone else who ever desired owning the Batmobile or Oscar Meyer Weiner wagon ...I wanted that ship and TO FIND OUT it was destroyed makes this fan-boy cry ! The set was something, really something and done to its best angles, Can't imagine what place those actors went to bring the fear that is so apparent. Mike Conway has lots more movies up his sleeve and we cant wait.

12 people sent out to populate a distant star wake up after hyper-sleep to find themselves yet too weak to prevent an alien life form from breaking into their 12 chambers to devour them, one by one. They can hardly move, only wonder who will be next! And they have an estimated 5 hours between each of the creature's meals. In an attempt to become strong enough they begin to exercise. Yet another woman is abducted. Why are only the women taken? They speculate it's because of moment - that the beast goes after those that react to its presence. they get out of their cages, and have momentary respite in an adjoining room. 4 of 6 women are gone, eaten. They are way off course, the planet they landed on, is nothing like their intended destination. They are of course in serious trouble...Oh, the acting... so devoid of genuine feeling that you need smaller shoes afterwards, the script has no characters, but only functions, the special effects are... well, one has to lower all expectations:When they finally kill the creature and venture outside their battered ship, they find their whole ship surrounded by an impenetrable see-through wall - as if they are in a zoo.They are still being killed, though. Now by little men with pointed heads.Do I offend anybody when I say it begins to feel like one of those arcade games or early computer games, where certain decisions in an action play is left to YOU, the Hero of Subjective POW? Well, it does come to an end. Like in the arcade.Must be a fan movie. But what a lame ending! All aliens killed, and there is the promised land anyway! How come so many B-movies have bad scripts? Because, if they had good scripts, they would attract more investors. But the whole beginning sequence should have grabbed someone - and helped fuel professional editorial of the remaining script. And subsequent more funding. Too bad.7 for brilliant beginning, minus 5 for acting and script, plus 1 for effective night goggle scenes, and 1 for understanding and respecting the bare necessities principle.Go again, Mike.

I had been waiting for so long. I planned on buying it when it was Terrarium. Waited too long and found out it was no longer for sale and the movie title had changed because it was bought by Lionsgate. Rented it yesterday and finally got to see the movie. And while not a big budget/Hollywood extravaganza this movie is great. I'm glad the movie didn't have big effects. I think it would have taken away from the movie and what the director accomplished with the budget he worked with. Also how many nobudget films can you name that are scifi besides CL.one, Primer etc; and nobudget films that aren't zombie flicks or slasher etc.? The acting wasn't Oscar winning, but they were believable. I like the ending. It keeps you wondering what will happen next; instead of being told.
