Right, well "Terminal Island" is a movie that is two years older than I am. But of course something like that is not going to keep me from watching a movie. And as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch "Terminal Island" here in 2021, of course I did so.
The concept idea here, as written by James Barnett, Charles S. Swartz and Stephanie Rothman was certainly interesting. However, the transition to the screen made for a lukewarm movie experience. Yeah, the movie was watchable, sure, but this was hardly a hidden cinematic gem that I had been missing out on.
The movie does have signs of being 48 years old, sure, but there are still aspects of "Terminal Island" that are applicable today, and things that does leave you with something to ponder about.
However, from an entertainment viewpoint, then "Terminal Island" just fell short of providing me with a proper movie experience. I just had a difficult time submerging myself into the movie, despite it having a good concept.
The movie did have an okay cast ensemble, I will say that much, with the likes of Tom Selleck and Roger E. Mosley starring here.
My rating of director Stephanie Rothman's 1973 movie lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
