Not the disaster i was expecting.

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2009)

From the critical mauling this film received in the press i was expecting a bloated,Transformers style experience that would distance me from anything created by James Cameron and leave a huge dent in the pride of a proud franchise however, im glad to say i totally wrong. For all the mud thrown at this film i found it to be an efficient and functional Terminator film that is streets ahead of Jonathan Mostows T3. T3 was bad as it divorced itself from the serious tone set by Camerons films preffering to indulge in self parody and humour wheres as McGs film is much more straight laced and in keeping with the feel of Jim Camerons work. For out and out fans there are some wonderful references and it works as a post apocalyptic war movie.On the whole, a lot better than i was led to believe.
