surprisingly good!

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2009)

The most recent update on the Terminator film series. Some might say it's not worth seeing, die-hard fans would give it high praise, there's no real big response to the film yet whether or not it will be a summer blockbuster.
Basically, it picks up where we left off from number three when Skynet began the attack on the humans. There is a bit of backtracking with the new and updated terminator machine and the history behind this model and how only one was manufactured much like Peter Weller's character in Robocop in the use of a human body.
The new machine sets out from Skynet to essentially eliminate John Connor and Kyle Reese. With more smarts than the rest, what's left of the human body tries to fight back against the orders and ends up playing out the role originally intended for Arnold if he was still acting. However it doesn't exclude his brief cameo he has toward the end of the film.
I'm not much one to list spoilers, however once you see the way this film ends, it makes me want to start right back at the beginning again.
The grading of the imagery should get high praise. It is very much earthly and worn on both the land and the machinery seen. It is very much in the same tone as Camp Crystal Lake in the recent remake of Friday The 13th. The acting is not that much different from the other three films which makes it realistic and firm.
