Underrated brilliance don't listen to the detractors

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2009)

The best terminator yet An intelligent ,thoughtful action film commenting on the nature of humanity and morality. The humans while considering themselves morally superior to the enemy are ultimately saved by a "mindless evil machine". The main thrust of the plot is the humans have identified a "shut down signal" that allows them to hack and destroy all the machines within transmission range.The resistance leaders ,of which John Connor is NOT one ,decide to launch an all out strike against sky net headquarters in San Francisco using the signal as their ace in the hole. Meanwhile a young Kyle Reece fights his way across America with a mysterious stranger to try and find Connor (having heard his voice of the resistance transmissions).Kyle is captured and taken to skynet and the stranger hooks up with a resistance fighter pilot . The stranger is eventually revealed to be a machine having set off the magnetic mines that protect connor's base. In prison he completely refuses to admit he's a machine despite connor shooting him several times. As the hour of the attack approaches john connor and his pregnant wife discover that kyle Reece is a prisoner of skynet along with thousands of others.His attempt at convincing the leaders to stop the attack is rebuffed,he transmits to all bases to stand down and not execute the orders. This gives him the time to mount an attack on sky net to rescue the people.But its an elaborate trap...
people said this film was mindless action??? In a terminator film??Heaven forbid such heresy. Christian bale is brilliant as the messiah warrior john connor his supporting cast are also top notch especially Sam Worthington. Great actor great story great action .The only other thing we need is for the critics to get a clue and have an even more ass kicking sequel.
