The future is worse than could be imagined

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2009)

From the first two Terminator movies, particularly the first, we were given some indication by Reese how bad things had become in the future. They're worse, much worse. This installment is incredible in it's effects, intensity, and the tie ins to the first two (I completely discount #3, which I thought was horrible). Christian Bale is at his best, he's not Batman, he's John Connor, exhibiting an intensity as only he could. The machines were massive, scarier than one could ever imagine, and more cleverly conceived that anything I've ever seen. Forget Transformers, which I thought was for kids anyway, this is the real deal for creativeness and execution.Some surprise tie-ins to the first two installments only add to the fun. I loved it. McG, nice Directing job!
