THIS should have been Terminator 3

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2009)

Just saw Terminator Salvation and had a blast. At last, the bleak future that was hinted at in the first two Terminator films is fully revealed - and it's awesome. I never got that feeling from T3, which felt more like a rehash of everything we've already seen with a few twists thrown in. Salvation felt fresh and left me wanting more - instead of wanting it to end. The action scenes were intense and imaginative: they did the Terminator brand-name proud. Finally, it's a real treat when you get to see great acting in an action flick. Christian Bale - the dude pours himself into John Connor. It makes the myth on the screen that much more powerful. Pretty good movie - bring on the next chapter.
