Terminal Invasion (2002) – DVD Review

 

This Sci-fi Thriller was directed by Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th) for the Sci-fi channel,  and stars Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Bubba Hotep).  Two correctional officers are transporting a convict (Campbell) to another facility in a Blizzard in Washington State.  When they slide off the road and crash into a tree, they are forced to walk.  The only place they can take cover from the storm is a small charter airport that has been snowed in.  Of course the nice people at the airport do not feel comfortable having a convict amongst them.  But, they are soon to find out, that is the least of their worries.

Alien (1979)

Imagine, if you will, the vast emptiness of space, the echoing corridors of nothingness, lit only by the countless stars thousands of miles away dotting the black backdrop. Now, imagine a massive ship sliding through the abyss of space, traveling through galaxies to a destination unknown. Its boxy features and immense volume seem miniscule in the greater scheme of the vast, unformed territory. Travel inside the ship, and move through its rough designs and simplistic layout. The silence inside the space ship is only matched by the stillness on the outside of the ship’s massive walls. All of this is broken by the operating of the ship’s computer system as it flickers to life, an operating system showing brightly off the glass mask of a helmet sitting in the captain’s seat. You’ve just experienced the opening of Alien, probably one of the best films ever made.
