Movie Review Terminus 2016 Film

A close encounter of a very healing kind is the major plot element of Terminus, Marc Furmie's low-budget sci-fi thriller that doesn't quite live up to its thematic ambitions. Although it boasts an admirable understatedness for a genre in which bigger is usually mistaken for better, the film is ultimately too low-key and slow-moving for its own good.

Set in America's heartland but actually filmed in Australia, the story concerns three main characters: David (Jai Koutrae), a widowed car mechanic with a drinking problem; his independent-minded teenage daughter Annabelle (Kendra Appleton); and his best friend Zach (Todd Lasance), a veteran who lost his leg in combat.
