The End Begins!

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2009)

This isn't the future John Connor's mother warned us about. I've hear lot of comments that states that Terminator Salvation might be a big disappointing to a real Terminator fan. Well, I find myself as a real hard Terminator fan and I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Maybe it's because my hopes weren't as high after the third Terminator. To be honest, I was actually pleasantly surprised. And I even didn't let myself worried about this PG13 rating that they are now sticking on to every R-rated action film sequel.
Yes, Salvation stays far behind from the first two films but it is definitely as far ahead from the third one. I liked the story and the apocalyptic atmosphere. Though the CGI might not be as good. The T600 didn't look quite real metal. It didn't feel so threatening anymore.
Now the characters. I was pleasantly surprised by Sam Worthington, almost unknown actor who shadowed Christian Bale in my opinion. When Arnold Wchwarzenegger was a Terminator then Sam Worthington played Terminator. And did it very well. Even the accent didn't annoyed. Although the Christian Bale's John Connor didn't sympathized as much. Sam Worthington stole the whole show from him. To be honest, Terminators shadowed everybody in previous three movies.
Terminator Salvation is totally worth for seeing. Especially for a hardcore Terminator fan.
8/10
