Good summer movie, but something you expect to be better

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2009)

I do not blame McG to making Terminator Salvation inferior to first two original Cameron flicks. This series was supposed to end after t2- it's one of those films, that don't really need sequels. After seeing "Judgement day" you feel fully satisfied. There was no need for t3, and there is no need for another Terminator trilogy either. Leave T-800 alone.
And there is no real point of making terminator movie, which action is placed in the future (in practically alternate time-line): everything, that was great in the original movies is crushed this way. Movie does not have this claustrophobic feeling that first T had, and I didn't saw any message that was present in the t2 - so over all, this movie was empty inside.
There are interesting action sequences, we have giant robots, which kinda look like they were taken from 1950' Japanese TV serial, and we have really cheesy dialogs. Christian Bale is making his Batman voice over the whole movie and by the time passes all you want to shut him up. It's that annoying. There are also those stupid references to T1 like "I'll be back" catchphrase, which should not be there.
By the way, I loved Arnold cameo. Every 30 seconds of it. That's a shame: the first thing that was blown apart was his face. To bad.
