Fun, but can't get past some things

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2009)

Seemed this film went in fits and starts, lurching from a great scene to a scene where you had to suspend your disbelief more than normal.
Although it was good fun all around, I couldn't get past:
* they had tonnes of fuel available for helis, A10s and no doubt to run generators for the s***loads of stuff that needs electricity
* "they've never pushed up this far before"- well why the hell not? Clearly they have flying scouts which aren't easy to take out, surely their airfields and bases would've been scouted and vapourised by now? And also the huge stompy thing which clearly isn't easy to take down.
* finally- they are in SkyNet, they are mass-producing Terminators, yet only 2 bother to engage John/ Kyle, and none are bothering their transport outside.
I'd watch it again, but they missed an opportunity to make it more gritty and desperate, without everyone have ultra-white teeth and it not looking like mankind is struggling very much at all.
