Take WarGames, dial down the intelligence level by 99%, add a bunch of dumb teens and some incredibly cheesy action sequences and what have you got? Do you need me to tell you?
You know the scenario.. three guys and three gals hack into a terrorist computer network which they think is a game but is instead a real life program. They order the assassination of the Russian peace envoy, explode a few oil refineries and generally wreck mayhem all over the good ol' US of A. Only when they order their own deaths as a joke do they realise this is all actually happening in real life. Who can save them? Why, only a bearded border control guard and his bubbly news anchor girlfriend. Then, you have the hard-as-nails black guy and the obese White House security officer. (NEVER accuse the writers of sticking to convention!!)
Obviously, the fat dude is the only one to actually get shot in the film.. big target you see. The rest of the action involves lots of blanks being sprayed randomly about, tons of extras diving onto the ground in slow motion and explosions where the sound effects seem out of proportion to the minor blasts we see. There's some hand to-hand combat too, which wouldn't look out of place in a comedy satire. Meanwhile the computer nerds take it in turns to unwittingly plot the destruction of the free world on their PC, and shag the attractive ladies they bought along with them for the ride.
See, it's films like this that give spotty anti-social freaks who play Warcraft all day long a vain hope they may have a hope of losing their virginity. Sorry, not gonna happen. Despite six kids causing the deaths of thousands by ordering a hitherto unknown band of radicals to commit acts of terrorism over their PC, and supermen who can kill people by the dozen without taking so much as a scratch themselves, this is by far the most ludicrous plot in the movie.
Still, it's not entirely without merit. The script is so hair-brained in will almost certainly keep you engrossed till the end, and it's always worth having a giggle at the many overdone battles. But at the end of the day, this amounts to very little but a waste of time and energy. Don't hold your breath for the DVD release. *GASP* 4/10
P.S There is a 'funny' monologue by one of the main characters over the ending credits which is possibly the most UNhilarious things I've ever heard in my life. Plus an extra scene which would suggest a sequel. Except it never made it past the drawing board. Phew!

Well. I have to say I saw this film when I was 14-15 and I found it amusing.
It is based around a group of teenagers who gather and play an adventure game together. They try to find the ultimate game and finaly they find a very exciting one that sends terrorists to targets.
They seem to have full control over this terrorist network indeed.
By coincidence they find out that the terrorist acts they plan are executed for real!
Nice twist, but the movie is definetly dated and it hasn't age well.

Watching the dish one day me and a friend where flipping through the channals and happened to discover Terminal Entry on one of the channels. It said AO (adult Only) so we thought what the hell! Only if we knew the truth. Just the cheap credits make you want to turn it off right away. Let alone the plot. A bunch of high school kids hack into this Terriorist Satellite and hack into this "game". Now how do they get the password for this game. SImple at the start of the movie with the only NUDITY in it anywhere. AO my ass. Well anyway they start playing this game and are telling "Agents" who happen to be real to assassinate and blow up all these places. Well then this one moron who hacked the game, decides to blow up have the united states which ends up really happening but he doesn't know that it is. Finally He decides to top it all off, and to Agent # 23 gives the location of the farm house, and tells him to kill the six kids in side and even downloads his picture into the computer so he knows who to kill. Well this is one agent right..Well when they show up TO KILL 6 TEENAGERS, theres 10 of them , then suddenly more and more appear outta no where. Then of course the military guys that have there own plot happening show up and just makes the movie even more screwed. You don't need to be a thinker to watch this one. It was a good laugh though!
FOr Cheap laughs rent this cheap film Terminal Entry

This movie sucks. I mean I found it in a bargain bin at a store and I expected a movie that was so cheesy and terrible it made you laugh. Instead what we get is a story about a group of teens who love computer games and spend 19 hours 'online' non stop. I stress online because when was the internet ever like what it is in this movie? Its so inaccurate. This movie has dated badly. Movies made in the late 80s/early 90s generally do, but they still remain some charm. Terminal entry does not. The only thing good about this movie is how bad the acting of the teenagers is and how the magnum PI wannabe guy is so Uber cool! Watch it at your peril. If you want unintentional humour watch 'Stone Cold' or 'Hard to Kill' (classics).
