A solid summer film.

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2013)

Despite all the critique this movie gets, there is very little wrong with it. The action is fun and the story line is interesting for the two hours you invest in it. It is well directed and casted although the story builds mostly around the character of Marcus Wright and not one of John Connor. McG does a good job at keeping this film separate enough from the original T1-T2 story arc, although the new pale grungy colour scheme might not satisfy all of the movie goers. The only real gripe I share with other critics is that it is not Terminator 2. Whereas T1 & T2 are an undeniable classic that I watched over a dozen of times, Terminator Salvation will not blow your mind, but you will have a good time watching it.
