Seeing that this film was shot in British Columbia on the west coast of Canada and that's where Jason Priestley is from it seems as good a reason as any to shoot the thing. I'm betting Priestley was helping out the local film industry.
Priestley plays a government investigator trying to track down rogue scientist Lou Diamond Phillips who looks a bit Jerry Lewis in the Nutty Professor. He's developed a device that looks like a cellphone and it can take you out of time and space and put you between dimensions.
Which is what Phillips does when some military types send a couple of jet fighters to shoot the plane that he and Priestley's wife and daughter are on. The whole airline goes into a wormhole that threatens to destroy all life and the universe itself.
Usually these time travel films kind of fall short on recognized science and Termination Point is no exception. It's midpoint between a science fiction and a disaster film and doesn't succeed really as either.
