Good, solid sci-fi movie.

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2009)

This movie is definitely one of the better of the sci-fi genre. A taut story, solid acting and good continuity makes this movie watchable. Christian Bale gives a credible performance as John Connors but the real star is Sam Worthington as the android with an identity crisis. The movie is based on a not original but still intriguing premise involving the relationship of man and machine and which of the two is superior. This theme may seem far-fetched but it's a science fiction movie and therefore should be judged as such. Although not a classic in the tradition of Frankenstein or other landmark movies, it is nonetheless an interesting and engaging movie that presents a new take on the man vs. machine theme and does this with skill.
