Don't believe the bad reviews. This is an OUTSTANDING action film!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2009)

I saw so many bad reviews here, but also noted the 8/10 score, so I went to see it, and I loved it!!! I expected a mediocre film, instead, I got an outstanding action flick, AWESOME special effects, earth-rocking sound effects (that make the machines shake the theater), and a tightly edited, well directed film. All of the visuals that the first film suggests, the sense of desolation, the burnt out cities, the GIANT machines, the horrifying impersonal world they create, it's all there. All of my expectations were filled.
John Conner finds he must rescue Kiel (his father to be) after he is captured by the machines. This leads through a long, exciting journey into the charred world where the machines are now made in automated factories, spewing out black smoke into the sky. Along with this plot is an additional complication. There is a robot we don't know if is friend or foe, and could jeopardize the entire attempt. I won't give away more, suffice it to say the movie was great, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I kept waiting for the bad parts the negative reviewers gave it, but none of them materialized. I don't know what some people expect out of a summer action film. It ain't supposed to be Shakespeare, dummies! It's a fun ride, with great sound, great visuals, scary machines, all the things you'd expect. Excellent summer entertainment, and a great ride. Go see it, ignore the critics!
