Don't think of it as part of the Terminator series and You will like it

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2009)

If you compare this to Terminator 2 then you will feel disappointed, but if you look at it as just an action film in its own right then you won't mind it so much. I was under the impression that their would be some character development in this film since they got talented actors Christian Bale and Bryce Dallas Howard to appear in this film. Turns out that was just a trick, we don't get to see them do any acting, they might as well have just had cardboard cut outs.
Sam Worthington proves that he deserves to be thrust into the action spotlight, he has Avatar and Clash of the Titans coming up as well. Within a years time this almost unknown actor will have appeared in three huge movies. I first saw him in this independent Australian film called Somersault and thought he was pretty decent in that. He holds Terminator Salvation together, if they had gotten a suck actor to play his part this film would have crumbled.
There wasn't much originality within the construction of a futuristic society, looked similar to a number of other crappy futuristic movies. I think they will probably make another sequel after this, why not?
