A FUN SCI-FI THRILLER & A FUN POPCORN FLICK

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2020)

I really enjoyed "Terminator Salvation" it's way better than "Terminator 3" which i think is the worst film in the Terminator franchise but it's not as much fun as "Terminator Genisys" which i really enjoyed but all in all the Terminator franchise is a good one in my opinion.
Christian Bale is really good as John Connor even if he feels abit miscast but hey so was Sam Worthington, i think that's only because i was used to seeing him as Batman or in big weighty dramatic roles but he's still a good solid serious & intense action hero here because he's such an excellent actor, we also have the then "next big thing" of the time Sam Worthington who was the lead in James Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar" & because of him being pushed as the next big star i think he was dropped quickly into big budget blockbuster films such as this Terminator film & the huge fantasy adventure Clash of the Titans & here Mr. Worthington if ok but nothing special as just like his other lead roles he's actually a very bland actor to lead a big movie but Hollywood loved him at that time but his fire very quickly died out & he's mostly stars in DTV flicks now.
"TERMINATOR SALVATION" is an action packed sci-fi Thriller with excellent special fx & lots of Terminators this time & an Awesome looking apocalyptic landscape, the look is gritty & "Mad Max" style, a solid good cast & good music score, i enjoyed this film & it's a good film in the franchise, a big budget sci-fi action popcorn flick with some stunning shots of an apocalyptic landscape & there's a real grittiness to the look & feel.
