not good, but not worthless.

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2009)

this was basically a poorly made movie overall. for a movie about heart and the human spirit, it lacks both. really weak story and character development, as well as sub-standard acting. Christian bale seems to have been miscast, more or less reprising his role as batman/bruce wayne again. some nice action though, and i'll admit, it was cool to see terminators in the theater again. unfortunately this movie struggled at every turn to shamelessly connect itself with the previous 3 terminators, while at the same time, completely disregarding them. also, special effects were a mixed bag, most times phenomenal, at other points laughable.
