Thuroughly Enjoyable.

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2009)

The previous Terminator movies, and other similar sci-fi action flicks have taught us to expect a lot of fights and explosions, but not much acting. This movie completely shattered this preconception. Lets face it, although Christian Bale is one of the finest actors alive today, his recent blockbusters (this included) haven't given him much scope to perform. However, Sam Worthington (who I hadn't heard of before this film) really acted his socks off to create a deep, three-dimensional character - which is simultaneously difficult to do considering his character AND quite a pun keeping todays' CGI standards in mind. I have also been keeping an eye on young Anton Yelchin since his brief appearance in Curb Your Enthusiasm, seeing him in Alpha Dog, and then catching up with him again in Star Trek and now this. This young guy is a very talented actor, who could easily be the next DiCaprio. To get to the point, this is a very exciting pop-corn flick portraying the stories of two important men in this fictional future battlefield, which has been coupled with great acting from all angles (ahem! aside from Common). Go and see it!
