Much better than expected. I watched it twice!

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2009)

I just got back from watching Terminator Salvation twice. Yes, it was actually good enough that I was willing to watch it again almost straight away.
I read a lot of the reviews and saw all the trailers before it came out, but the film still managed to surprise me a little bit. It did start a bit slow, but by the second half it really started to get good. I knew the special cameo was coming, but I enjoyed seeing exactly how they were going to work it in.
On the second viewing, I took the time to notice much more of the little nods towards the previous three films. There's just so many though - the vehicles used, the choreography of the fight scenes, the music, settings and dialogue. I think I'm going to have to see it a good few times more to catch them all. I think I'll be able to - watch it again, I mean. Lot of people don't seem too keen, but it was so much better than T3 and so much better than expected. Not as good as T1 or T2, but then, it was never going to be.
