End to End Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2009)

A few neat effects do not come close to saving this blockbuster bomb. Forced dialog, a story that was predictable in every aspect and repetitive action sequences make this film a huge disappointment. I was awaiting the new Terminator series with some anticipation, but when the trailer failed to stir any excitement I started to worry. The starlet/cyborg love story, the 'Star' character and Bale seeming lost during most of his scenes drag this film down near the cheese level of an 'Independence Day'. The Terminator pre-story offers unlimited potential for interesting plot twists and turns. Unfortunately, none of them were used in this latest installment.
