Not as great as T2 but still good....

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2009)

I remember being captivated by T2, as I waited patiently ten minutes before it arrived on the channel. I was blown away with the opening sequence, as Arnie arrives naked. Loved the scene were he saves Connor with a shot-gun and saves him by riding fast on his motor-bike.
This movie was in a way a let down, I mean the concept of what happens in the future is quite exciting.
Skynet is up and running, it has taken over the world and now only a handful of humans remain fighting against the machines, now Connor has received word that Skynet can be shut down....But it turns out his father, still a child; has been captured by the enemy.
This film is mainly about the action scenes, it had explosions, chase scenes and bullets which keep the average viewer happy...But for me the strength lied in the character Marcus Wright.
Half-man, half-machine designed to infiltrate the humans, yet he has no idea what he is and when he finally realises, its painful to watch. I also felt the character Blair was a bonus, played by the beautiful Moon Bloodgood, who sizzled on screen from the very first moment.
Christian Bale is without a doubt a great actor, but here he seems to have done this film for the money...His acting is as cold as the machines, no emotions and his voice strangely sounds the same as 'Batman'...
All in all, a good action movie.
