Shocker

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2009)

As a long time devotee of the Terminater genre, I found Terminator Salvation so bitterly disappointing that my wife and I walked out halfway through. Having skilfully avoided all reviews prior to entering the cinema so that I could form my own unfettered impression, it came as no surprise to later learn that a majority of people considered this film a turkey.
The storyline is so weak that not even mildly acceptable acting by Messrs Worthington and Bale can carry the film. In truth, it's more Mad Max than Terminator. If they make a T5 then maybe Steven Seagal or Mel Gibson should be considered... yes it has been reduced to that. Maybe the last hour (which I didn't see) would have recovered it, but I doubt it.
I echo many comments above that T3 and TS should never have been made, and it's a great shame that both Cameron and Arnie stood idly by (maybe smelling the cash) rather than stepping in to stop this abomination.
The TV series the Sarah Connor Chronicles was far better than this dross.
