Great new addition to the Terminator franchise

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2009)

No more time travelling for the moment. Rather instead, the franchise has changed tact and moved to the apocalyptic future where we see John Connor tackle the machines in their quest to wipe out the human race.
To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I think most will. It doesn't demean the rest of the franchise, and there are many nods/references throughout to keep even the biggest fan happy.
Christian Bale is the man of the moment and plays the lead character well. Ably assisted by many others, you get a good and unsentimental action movie which likely sets the scene for more.
The terminator machines are excellent to watch and creative, many a time seeming perfectly real. The settings are apocalyptic and there are a couple of thoughtful moments also.
Give it a try, sit back and enjoy for a great action movie.
