An okay fare!

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2009)

I've grown up watching The Terminator series... I've been a hardcore fan of the James Cameron epics. I've seen T2 at least 10-12 times... oh man, what a classic! But Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines directed by Jonathan Mostow, which came long ago, was a disappointment. Ditto for McG's 'Terminator Salvation'.
The problem for me first of all is, Terminator can never be the same without Arnie... he immortalized Terminator... he's the best and minus him, Terminator will lack the fun. The second problem is the slow treatment, minus the action, the film hardly has anything that makes you go WOW! In a nutshell, 'Terminator Salvation' is an okay fare at best.
Performances: Bale is good as John Connor. Sam Worthington is impressive. Anton Yelchin, first featured in Star Terk and now Terminator Salvation, this boy is going places. His performance is passable. Bryce Dallas Howard looks angelic and delivers a sincere performance. Helena Bonham Carter is wasted.
On the whole, 'Terminator Salvation' is no where close to its earlier parts. A strictly one time watch!
