What I feel the movie screws up.

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2010)

This movies issue is not the time line. The Terminator movies can be changed just based on the line from the very first movie "there is no fate but what we make." Arguing the little things like plasma rifles vs. regular rifles seems a bit trivial also. My huge issue with this movie is the feel of the movie. When I heard about this movie I was originally looking forward to the war I got to see in terminator 1 and 2. All of it taking place at night, machines rolling over skulls, and people barely clinging to life. I got a dark and hopeless feel from the original two that I did not get from the 4th. I know that it can be argued that the time-line was changed, however, that does not mean the over all feel of the movies should be changed. (oh, just a personal note, I'm not really a fan of Christian Bale, so him as John Connor bothered me also.)
