Post-Apocalyptic Hit

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2009)

This film does the Terimantor series justice. We are introduced to new and dynamic characters that round out the cast, making Salvation more interesting and dramatic, much more than just some futuristic shoot 'em up. Since the director and writers of Salvation are new to the series, you can expect certain diversions and add-ons here that may annoy die-hard fans.
The movie is set so that a person who has never seen the other three can enjoy it (but to have a complete understanding, it's necessary to see the other movies). The script is well-written, especially for the character Marcus Wright; he's mysterious and conflicted, with a past we never fully understand. All in all, Salvation is an action-packed, well-written movie that all Terminator fanatics must see. The special effects are solid, and the acting, especially Sam Worthington's performance, makes the movie well-worth watching.
