Good summer action flick - some things will blow you away, others....

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2009)

Definitely see this one on the big screen! The sounds and visual effects at times are almost overwhelming! Great CGI and visually the future world and war are very believable. The story for me was just OK - I felt that some emotions and character development seemed to happen too fast and there were a few cheesy parts I had to roll my eyes at. Without giving too much - one little character in particular I found quite tiresome. One of my favorite movies growing up was Terminator 2 and this one falls far short. I'd say its about on par with the original Terminator (without a doubt better than T3). See it in the theater and enjoy the action and special effects - that alone is enough to make it worth the price of admission!
