Finally a Terminator film showing the future.

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2009)

The year is 2018 and the war between machines and humans rages on. John Connor (Christian Bale) is not yet in full command of the resistance, but he is an invaluable part of it. It comes to Connor's knowledge that he is no longer the primary target, he is secondary. Skynet's chosen to terminate John's father, Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), before he can be sent back in time.
Great casting, directing, action sequences, special effects and visual effects and make-up make this film everlasting. Sam Worthington and Helena Bonham Carter do an excellent job in their supporting roles. I especially like the music, provided by my favourite composer, Danny Elfman.
It's full of action throughout and finally, for the die-hard fans, we get to see the future. Previously, Skynet has always sent Terminators back in time, but now we see the future and most importantly, the war itself. Hunter Killers, Terminator 600's, 800's, and more. The special effects are incredible and it's fun to watch.
The mature themes make this movie suited to an older audience, however. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under 14, for the language, the violence and the gore. Any Terminator fans, please check out this one! It's surely the second best of the series.
