Salvation... not quite, but near.

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2009)

Terminator and T 2 are really great iconic films, with a cult status and rightly so. Just brilliant. T 3, as most people agree, missed the spot. So a new dawn has arose, and with it comes Terminator Salvation. If you ask most people what they most remember from the films, it's going to be Arnie as the Terminating Cyborg. He had that role (as his "acting" style) down to a T as a cold robotic machine who was trying to understand human beings - and we related to him, we actually felt something for his character. We cared. There's nothing like that in T4. The plot is nonsensical and if you analyse it, you'll find lots of plot holes. HOWEVER - this isn't the kind of film you go to analyse right? It's a big budget, all out, action sci-fi flick, with lots of big bangs, explosions and great big evil machines. Great special effects and cool robots. That's the point, right? Not as good as Terminator 1 and 2 but better than 3. So grab some popcorn and enjoy!
