OK.... i'm gonna give you a over view of what your going to see... this is the typical Bruce Campbell movie full of "action" and "winks" at the camera. If you like his basic shtick and his basic bad acting then you will love this campy funny sci fi flick. Overview: You got a storm... you got a terminal in the worlds smallest airport. Some folks are stranded. You also have a convict being transported near said airport. Of course the convicts transport gets disabled near airport. Now they must got to the air port for assistants. That's where all heck breaks out! The creature of the movie is a weird mix of contortionist/alien thing. The special effects are on par with what you would expect from a made for TV campfest! I mean this is a made for TV sci fi channel movie... Lucky it didn't star a shark/manatee creature! Who wins man or alien... watch to find out!

Terminal Invasion is about an alien invasion, set in an airport terminal - the clue is in the title. The film has a cheap, daytime TV feel about it, with special effects to match. Probably the only reason it ever got green-lighted was due to having Bruce Campbell in it, who is, of course, the best part of the whole film.As the cast try to figure out who is an alien and who's not, they spout off some reasonable dialogue, but the supporting cast don't always deliver it too well. Sooner or later one stereotype after the next gets bumped off - you know the unlikeable characters are always going to end up as alien-chow.But, for all its faults, I couldn't help but get some small amount of satisfaction out of it. Yes, it's cheesy, yes the acting and SFX leave a lot to be desired and yes, they even went as far as to copy one of the scenes from Alien where Ripley is directing Dallas through the maze via headset.Ultimately, it's one of those films you'll either love or hate. If you like Bruce Campbell and his jaw, you'll probably not think you wasted an hour and a half of your life. But, be warned, Men In Black standard it is not.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Aliens in human disguise commandeer a rural airport during a snowstorm. To survive, the people trapped inside must determine which of their own is not of this Earth.Ever wanted to see Bruce Campbell as a killer? Or Jason Jones as a weak, clueless military man? This is the film for you. While not particularly amazing, and with special effects that leave a lot to be desired, it is a good time waster from the fine folks at the SyFy Channel.What saves this from being even worse is the inclusion of Bruce Campbell. While he may not be everyone's cup of tea, he has a commanding presence that will keep most people interested. The script is a bit fast and loose with him, as you never know if he is going to be good or bad from one scene to the next, and everyone seems to take his murderous antics rather lightly.

I watched this movie because it had Sean Cunningham (director of Friday the 13th) with Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) and thought it would be a high tension and suspense action-thriller. However, I think it was some more like some mystery-thriller a la Stephen King. The Langoliers was the first movie that popped into my mind.People are stranded on an airport that is filled with aliens. Yes, we've seen movies like this a million times and it is what you would suspect. Nothing more, nothing less. OK, I found Bruce a bit like a whining wimp and some of the characters were very annoying and the monsters looked ridiculous. However, I found it interesting how they would get out of this trouble and the twist at the end was also welcome. The reason why the aliens invaded is well explained at the end Here is the reason why they invaded, that is explained at the very end (minor PLOT SPOILER ahead) They invaded the airport as a test before a bigger invasion. Their reason for invading earth is because they found humans had the strongest spirit and would therefore make the best slave labor (why these high-tech aliens would use human labour instead of high-tech machinery could be questioned?;) PLOTSPOILER END They do not invade us "because they hate us and want us dead" as the alien says in one of the first scenes and people here complain about this as "a stupid plot". You get what you expect and if this sounds something that you would like, go ahead and rent it, but do not expect anything groundbreaking.
