It's not All there but Worth Seeing

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2009)

I wanna start with the positives, Bale as usual is very intense and gives us the John Connor you would expect, MCG delivers in the special FX department along with a few bits of humor and a smidge of suspense, Anton Yelchin is an Actor people should be keeping an eye on he is a blossoming Talent. Now the bad little to no character development, a script that while it pays homage to the previous films has little else to offer many scenes that should have had exciting suspenseful build up just splash across the screen in Grand Big Budget Spectacle and that is the films weakness. All the films relied on good storytelling, sadly when I came home I rewatched the previous films, While the original Terminator was a low budget film Cameron incorporated suspense, character, and connected with the audience you cared about Kyle & Sarah. T2 expanded in both directions with solid character development, explosive visual FX, innovative approaches, and progressed the storyline moving it forward, with intensity, drama,even humor. T3 while weaker than the two movies before it still managed to deliver in style, suspense, yes Nick Stahl was a wimpy John Connor with that aside, Claire Danes was great and Arnold older now still managed to deliver, Christiana Loekane was awesome, with a weak script Jonathan Mostow still managed to delivery a satisfactory movie and this is my where things get weird can u believe I liked this one better than Salvation. I remember not really thinking that much of T3 but now it stands above the latest release. I sure hope Jane Alexander has more to do in the next installment what a waste of talent, and thats what I think of Terminator Salvation what a missed opportunity for true greatness.
