Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2009)

In the center of all things is the human heart, so said the poet. For this fantastic futuristic movie called " Terminator Salvation " it is also the thrust of the film. Anyone who has kept up with this expanding series, knows why this story keeps evolving. In this episode we have an adult John Connor (Christian Bale) knee deep in the resistance fight with the growing problem of 'Sky-Net.' Although the characters themselves are a problem for any new audience, it is nevertheless easy to accept that it begins in our day and age with a condemned convict named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) about to be executed and ends up in the future as a Cyborg creation at the hands of Dr. Serena Kogan (Helena Bonham Carter). Here he meets Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and thus begins a spinning and often dizzying time-warping vortex which inexorable leads to the future of the world. Regardless if one follows it closely or not, the movie itself provides enough entertainment to keep one glued to the screen. The exciting, drama, and often explosive scenes are so action packed as to wow any audience. The intertwine story of Sara Connors and her futurist family which feuds with unstoppable machines of death is incredible and fun to watch. Much credit is given to the talented cast and their characters as to ensure a great movie. This film is dedicated to the late Stan Winston and therein lies the excellent tribute of a film which is sure to become a sci-fi Classic. ****
