Termination point is a surprisingly decent B-movie that is well made on a tiny budget and contains solid acting from most involved. Usually made for TV Sc-Fi channel films have terrible plots with the worst actors imaginable to Termination Point really was a nice surprise that was entertaining from start to finish.
The plot is reasonable interesting, a scientist creates a teleportation device that works by first sending the person or object to an alternate universe called "null space" before sending them back to earth in a different place. after learning that his device will be used as a military weapon, he steals it and boards a flight. However authorities find out he is on the flight and attempt to shoot it down. Cue the scientist using the device and the plane and it's passengers becoming stuck in null space. Agent Caleb (a decent Jason Priestley) must race against time to get the plane back to earth by finding a second control device while dealing with rogue agents and a race against time.
Now the plot is completely ridiculous and has an incredible amount of plot holes but if you suspend your disbelief there is plenty to entertain you here. The film is well shot with strong acting all round. The race against time aspect is handled very well meaning the film goes along at a fast pace. There is plenty of twists and turns as we find out there are rogue agents trying to steal the device for themselves. The only downside is the awful CGI effects but with such a small budget this can be forgiven, especially since the director managed to get such a decent cast. The soundtrack is pretty terrible and is probably recycled from previous Sci-Fi channel films and the ending makes very little sense if you really think about it but Termination Point is a great little turn your brain off film to watch on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely one of the Sci-Fi channels better offerings which will please most B-Movie fans.
