Termination

Gets four stars for the girls. It is not a full-length movie. Rather, it is four... or five short scenes. All them completely unoriginal; but not without some intriguing attractiveness. The best is indeed the cyberpunk sequence; with the teen-Asians. The girl in "The Andromeda Strain" part is very beautiful; as is the little blonde on the film-noir train. Saw this on Tubi, the free streaming service. Tubi has a very odd assortment of stuff; some of it is good, some is not. I think this film was made as sort of a showcase of abilities: both filmmakers, and stars. Oh, the teen girl in the "Doppleganger" part was pretty, too.

Well, I will just be honest and say that the movie's cover/poster lured me in. It seemed like something in the likes of being cyberpunk. I did take note of it being labeled as an action, sci-fi and horror movie here on IMDb, so I thought that the chances were great that writer and director Alice Nicolini had something good going here.

I managed to endure around 25 minutes of the ordeal that is known as "Termination", then I had to do what the title said. I had to terminate the movie, because it was definitely one of the most prolonged and boring movies that I have had the misfortune of sitting down to watch recently. Very little of any much interest happened in these excruciatingly long 25 minutes, and it didn't really help that the character gallery was downright rubbish.

Visually, then "Termination" had something going for it, but the storyline and script was a massive swing and a miss, sliding down a steep downhill slope. I fell off the wagon down that slope, and I have absolutely zero interest in getting back in the seat and finish watching the movie.

My rating of "Termination" lands on a two out of ten stars, solely because the props were good and the visuals were good. And also the cyberpunk-like cover definitely spruced the movie up, serving as a masterful selling point for an otherwise atrocious movie experience.

Save yourself from wasting 90min of your life. Thank you.

Out of all the stories the one I liked the most was the cyberpunk one. However, just like the other stories there's really no ending or beginning. You're thrusted right in the middle of the story and trying to hopelessly find out what's going on. Then when you think you figured it out the story ends and you're left with a big WTF moment. If they can redo this movie and just flesh out the stories a bit more it would make this film much better.
