Even a director with an infantile name can make a good movie; too bad this one didn't

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2009)

The Terminator series started with a movie that was intelligent and provocative, despite the fact that it was also an action-packed romp. This latest movie is sadly devoid of any hint of that intelligence. In fact, by watching the four-minute trailer you can see pretty much the whole plot and all the best bits of the movie. A die-hard sci-fi fan won't be able to resist watching this, but I would recommend waiting for the DVD or television release. In that way you will save yourself the frustration of paying good money, you will avoid rewarding such a plodding and dim-witted producer and director, and you will allow yourself to do something else while the movie is lumbering along.
