Not happy

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2009)

Before I begin my comments on Terminator Salvation, I want to rant a little about the fundamental Terminator series flaw that this movie resurrected in my mind. I never understood how John Connor can send his father back in time to create him. In order for Connor to do this he would have to exist prior to sending his father back. But hey, it's just a movie right? Anyway, I thought this movie sucked. The special effects were pretty good but as they say, you can't polish a turd. The story was awful and I didn't care at all about any of the characters. Christian Bale's voice was comical at times and all Marcus Knight did was scream. James Cameron must be sad to see what has happened to this franchise. The first two films were tight and straight to the point. Dark and exciting. The last two have seemed muddled and boring, particularly this one. I also couldn't help but laugh at CG Arnold. I laughed out load way too often during this movie.
