TERMINAL is one of those student-feeling movies that thinks it's far clever than it actually is. It's a real dud of a production, stilted and awkward throughout, a movie which is made to sound like a thriller but instead turns out to be a meandering, dialogue-focused character twist. It looks cheap and fake, with dead surroundings and unrealistic backdrops. The film attempts to tell a number of micro-stories from an ensemble cast, similar to PULP FICTION, and all held together by the horrid Margot Robbie who embarrasses herself with a plummy British accent. Simon Pegg looks about 60 here while Dexter Fletcher is bored out of his head, and who can blame him? I'd enjoyed not seeing Mike Myers around for years so the merest sight of him was enough to give me the shudders. This slow, meandering film takes an age to get around to the twist ending, which is so stupid, so basic and nonsensical, that I was actively embarrassed by what I was seeing.
