Almost “Teradise”: Beware Falling Clichés

There's nothing new about sending a bunch of pornstars to some lush tropical paradise to do the same sort of things they do here in Porn Valley; in fact it's almost become a cliché at this point to see gals like Lucy Lee, Britney Skye, Alexis Amore, and Nikki Benz writhing nakedly under waterfalls or getting drilled by oiled up muscle men on black sand beaches. So when a megastar like Tera Patrick announces a sequel to a blockbuster like "Teradise Island", we expect it to be something more than just the same old same old.

Unfortunately, that's just what "Teradise Island 2" is. Now that Jenna Jameson has officially retired, the Porn Queen crown has passed over to Tera -- which means that porn fans have the right to expect something more from her than this messy affair of sloppy direction and even worse editing. With too-artsy slow-mo transitions, tepid performances from practically everyone in the cast, and the use of queen bee Tera herself to cover up all those rough patches, let's just hope that the "Teradise" franchise doesn't become a trilogy.

I won't give away the surprise ending but I will say that these screencaps provided by Teravision are better than the full motion version from whence thay came. I honestly wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone unless they were a diehard Tera fan -- and we all know she deserves a better vehicle for her considerable talents.
