Prepare to be blown away!

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2009)

Terminator Salvation is a heart thumping, nerve-shredding and action packed thrill ride and holds a strong eye for invention and story. Basically Terminator Salvation is a mile times better than its predecessor, for which many people thought would be the end of The Terminator franchise, but not for McG. The man who lacks the common decency to have a full name has achieved an epic looking and emotional picture that has re-ignited a franchise and who has positioned himself as an excellent action film director.
Gone is the slick LA of the 20/21st century, replaced with dark underground bunkers and huge robot factory cities. Also gone is the normal endoskelaton chases human story and replaced with a 'men on a mission' adventure. The adventure aspect is as every bit as thrilling as it is enigmatic, which takes McG to more of an accomplished insight into the Terminator universe.
The action is chilling and absolutely extraordinary and breathes a fresh set of light to the story. Unlike other Terminator films of the passed, Terminator Salvation up's the anti and action to beyond the other entries. The only downfall i can comment on is the use of some corny dialogue, but like previous Terminator films they wouldn't work without it.
My verdict overall though is that McG has sparked a new light and interest into the Terminator franchise and is one that gives all the post apocalyptic action fans have been waiting to see.
