Not bad, but nothing new

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2011)

We all know Terminator, with Arnold there is nothing short of action, explosions, and shotguns. In each of the beginning intro of the first three terminator movies, we get to see a little action from the future war where the future is bleak and dark. Now with the fourth Terminator, we get to see that, but does it have the Cameron touch to it? I have to say the movie isn't that bad, but machines that we see such as the Hunter killer tanks and jets are not of the design of what we would come to expect. I'm surprised they didn't used any of those terminator designs from the technical books that we see in the comic stores.
Acting the part, I'm expecting none of the actors from the first three terminator movies will be doing any parts. Arnold does show his face but the face from the 80's movie of his younger self though. Otherwise, acting is fine, just don't expect any Oscar tear jerker.
As for the storyline, well the movie seems to be just a little part of that of the supposedly three trilogy that McG is supposed to offer. However I think most terminator fans will expect too much and this movie offers just a little of the storyline. Was this movie needed? Probably no, but it is fun to watch, but also more to fun to imagine in our heads of how a prequel is suppose to be.
No drama relations in this one like how the second movie was with Sarah Conor and her son. If I were God, the third terminator was not needed and too bad it should have ended that way and make this movie a prequel. Other then that, a good Saturday night movie.
