Excellent movie, Christian delivers yet again

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2010)

I loved this movie and consider it the second best of the Terminator movies, the first being the very first movie.
Christian Bale brings his talent yet again and proves why I love this guy so much. He brings the John Connor character to life "This is John Connor. If you are listening to this, YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE" in the vision I always had for him.
The director and special effects team do an amazing job showing us a near future America where the last free humans fight a losing war of survival against the evil machines. Some obvious issues are slight and forgivable: - A rebel fighting force would not be using fixed runway aircraft such as the A-10 Warthog, such long runway installations would be easy targets for the machines and all would have been destroyed in the first minutes of the war. Instead, they should have been using helicopters and Harrier jump jets for their force, hidden in forest bunkers and able to take off straight up. Likely the airforce gave them free A-10's and the Marines said no.

The one hope you have against giant 100 foot tall death machine walking robots is, THEY ARE NOISY. You can hear them coming for miles, as everyone who saw The Empire Strikes Back will attest. The rebel soldiers could hear the AT-AT's coming for MILES, even though they were walking in snow. So please tell me, HOW THE HECK DID THAT GIANT ROBOT SNEAK UP ON THEM AND RIP THE TOP OFF THE GAS STATION??? Thankfully, that was the only scene that screamed LUDICROUS to me.

And finally, I have this special message to the human resistance. THE WAR IS COMING. THE TERMINATOR MACHINES ARE ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. A STORM IS COMING. BEGIN PREPARATIONS NOW. FEAR THE MACHINE.
