Good Action!

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2009)

This comment is meant to replace another user who rated this film a "one star." I know people are entitled to their own opinion, but this film deserves a chance.
Personally, I thought this movie was very enjoyable. The plot is slightly predictable, but who really cares in an action movie. Many of the people who loved the terminator series know the story by heart, but continue to watch them again and again to immerse themselves in a world where humans struggle against their own mechanical creations.
The actors were good in the sense that I never once had a problem with the acting. This is important to really get into the story, and not just feel like you're watching a movie.
The effects alone are worth watching! Nowadays too many movies are using CGI to replace real explosions and models. This might have worked for Toy Story, but not what you want in an action movie where you want the robots and explosions to look authentic. This movie does not disappoint. Most of the machines were painstaking built and blow up the good o' fashion way. Only once near the end of the movie did I notice bad CGI - which is forgivable as it wasn't a crucial part of the film.
All in all, give it a chance. Go see it if you're looking to be entertained for two hours. You definitely will not leave disappointed.
