Excellent

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2014)

First off i just want to say that i have been a huge fan of this franchise my entire life, James Camerons first two films are cinematic gold!!the third installment was an absolute let down, there was no chemistry between these characters what so ever, Schwarzenegger totally slept through the role as the returning machine to protect john connor! In T2 you can feel the emotional attachment John Connor Felt toward the machine, but in 3 there is no indication of the pain he went through losing the machine at the end of T2! When John asks the Machine "Dont you Remember Me" And The Machine Replies " That was a different model number" And then Connor says " What, do you guys come off of an assembly line or something?" The machine says" yes, something like that" then he says "Man im gonna have to re-teach you everything!" i thought that was very cheap! there was no heart in the film what so ever! Now getting on to "Salvation" I personally thought this film was excellent!!They couldn't have predicted the war with the machines any better, they put you right in to the front lines against the machines with john connor leading the way, this is exactly what you were imagining watching the first 3 films, a world of fear, and pain, and unceartainty, and another great thing about this film is how it really exercises you're brain thinking about How Kyle Reese is a teenager and his Son is a thirty something leader of the resistance!! the time travel really makes you think!! Not to mention the awesome action sequences in this film!! I think Bale plays an awesome John Connor, he plays a battle hardened soldier which is exactly what connor is supposed to be in the future! And Sam worthingtons Character as marcus is a perfect addition to the story!! Very well done!!
