You want some action you'll get plenty

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2009)

How does a movie deliver to it's audience? That is the question. Does it rely on breathtaking visuals, back to back action (interspersed with ear splitting audio) that gives you no time to blink, every shot being a fight for survival? Well Terminator Salvation definitely delivers on the aforementioned. If these are your typical expectations of an Action Movie you will have no regrets.
But for the ones who are always seeking meaningful action this movie definitely disappoints. I happen to fall into the class though i warn you this review comes from someone who could write pages worth of appreciation for a movie like Death Race( or any Statham movie for that matter. "Girls- who's looking for sense anyway?") Furthermore, I will not go onto say that the story was just an excuse for action. There definitely was a story- where lead characters( that would also include the mute kid- Star) remain mum for a longer part of the reel and you are left with action sequences to build the story. If the writers ever thought they could cover up the inconsistencies with senseless action, well they thought wrong. We can't ignore glaring mistakes in the script. why doesn't sky net just do away with Kyle Reese when his identity is established? If Marcus Wright is indeed identified as one of the terminators, why is he attacked by them? Only to prolong the action you say? Well i rest my case. Almost... Directors/ Writers/all men alike women aren't just fanciful props. Why have such a large cast when you couldn't flesh out characters. However, the show was saved even for all the criticism. Mr. Governor, you did save the "show" from sinking with your brief two minute appearance ( not including when your face gets chipped off) which launched me into nostalgia.
The action is definitely worth your money and time and i shall end my review with just that and let the stunts linger!
