Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter May 14, 2020
Too derivative for its own good. Go to Full Review

The issue with Terminus is that it strives for a very ambitious place in the universe but lacks what it takes to get there. Go to Full Review
Mark Demetrius FILMINK (Australia) Jan 14, 2016
Terminus is slow moving and often underlit - presumably in the interests of ambience, but the murkiness gets monotonous and the creepy soundtrack music does little to alleviate the torpor. Go to Full Review

3/5
Go in with mild expectations and great nostalgia for old school science fiction cinema and you won't be disappointed with Terminus. Go to Full Review

Harry W Feb 24, 2019 I read all the negative reviews and I get it. Its not the greatest movie ever. I have a short attention span and a lot of slow moving films lose my interest quickly. Terminus is slow moving and a little drawn out, but there is just enough going on to keep your curiosity going. Don't expect an overly exciting scifi flick, just go into it expecting to be entertained. I think it was worth the watch and was not left dissapointed at the end. Overall, I would recommend this if you've seen all the blockbusters and are just looking for something different. See more
Sep 18, 2018 If the daughter of the protagonist wasn't in the movie it would have been 1,000% better film. She ruined the film for me, emotional scenes were all given to her and she couldn't sell it. I may have given this one a 4 if it wasn't for her. There were far too many coincidences for motivations etc. I'm all for moody films and thought the cinematography was great. I felt the war aspect of the story was vague/unnecessary and the news exposition trope was overused. See more
Luke L Sep 15, 2018 Great Indy sci-fi drama... While I was watching it, I kept thinking to myself, 'something is going to destroy this movie'. Like most Indies, bad acting and low budget stop 'em dead. But to my surprise this gem finished without a flaw. Lots of character development, good guys vs bad guys, great end of the world story, I loved it. Seen on Netflix...Best viewed by sci-fi fans. WARNING not a 'chick flick'... See more
Han W Aug 27, 2018 A smaller budget more intimate grittier play on the contact salvation from apocalypse theme.
Poe S Aug 25, 2017 Better than average alien-falls-from-space flick. Slow build up to pretty gripping and well done ending. Worth watching.
Hermione S May 13, 2017 Waste of time. Not sue how I ended so watching it till the end, maybe I was hoping for a decent ending, but did not happen. Highly disappointed. See more
