No salvation here

Rating: 5/10 (12 November 2014)

In 'Terminator: Salvation', the focus is once again on the battle of man vs. machine, but in truth the real fight here is art vs. commerce. In Hollywood, commerce always wins.
Already unnecessary in almost every possible way, hack director McG's 'Salvation' is not unlike the machines that populate its world; Technically impressive, but cold and incapable of an original thought. The story lacks the big, well developed themes that were the foundation of Cameron's two classics, and the cast all seem to be going through the motions, knowing in their hearts that this is nothing more than a simple cash grab.
'Terminator' 1 and 2 serve as an excellent duology. The rest of this franchise should be terminated.
