Termination Point [HD]



An interesting sci-fi/time travel storyliine with "24"-ish style to it.
To be released on November 4th is a sci-fi time travel film starring Golden Globe nominee Jason Priestley ("Beverly Hills 90210') and Lou Diamond Phillips ("La Bamba" and "Stand and Deliver") featured in an action-driven storyline about a rogue scientist, Dr. Daniel Winter (Phillips) who has disappeared with a classified time-travel device and hides it in an airliner in which special agent Caleb Smith's (Priestley) family is on.

As Caleb and his family prepare to go on a family vacation, Caleb is called on an emergency to apprehend Dr. Winter (not knowing that Winter boarded the plane that he was just on). Winter must be found at all cost or their will be repercussions due to a potential time shift which can destroy the Earth and also the galaxy. But Caleb realizes that Dr. Winter has been planning to be on the same plane as his family all along and thus Caleb does what he can to protect his family.

But the situation goes awry when the President of the United...

Surprisingly Fun Movie
I was surprised to find myself enjoying this sci-fi/action/thriller of a movie. The suspense kept me glued to the screen wondering what would happen before the predictable ending. If you're a tele-transport/time-travel film buff you'll enjoy this movie for its potential technological suggestions if nothing else.

The acting was as acting is in these types of films. Sure, at times it seemed like a made for tv movie, but with a bit of imagination you'll feel as if you sat through a real feature film. If films are meant to entertain then this one did the trick. I give the time travel concept the award for best feature of the film. The bad guys were probably the best actors, or maybe had the best parts.

In either case I don't think you could go wrong watching this movie on a night when your mood wants a bit of this and a bit of that. Warning: there is no sex, drugs or loud music in this film.

Careful reading too much about this movie. Better to go in...

Not so much Sci Fi
I wish I could put it in words - I didn't hate it; I didn't love it. The movie from the Sci Fi side just wasn't well thought out. It wasn't believable. I'm not a critic and won't try to be one but this is just an "ok" movie.
