Not as Bad as I thought it would be

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2009)

OK, before I watched it I was prepared to think that it wouldn't ever be better than the first 2 terminators, because its pretty obvious... its like saying that Godfather 3 would ever be as good as the first 2, and its actually impossible
Terminator Salvation has a great concept, I loved the game Fallout 3 with all the post apocalyptic shizzle, and with a budget of 200 mil, this movie delivers SLICK environments, believable is the word.
The performances weren't bad, Bale was well suited as John Connor, Worthington did very well. The relationships were enjoyable to watch, how the characters came together well and how they reacted with each other.
The plot was a bit fishy in my mind, but it was pretty basic, you'd have to be stupid not to understand what is going on. I can't get all the whining about the plot, because its not an overused plot like before.
Special Effects, this is where the movie scores well, all the explosion sequences and war scenes were brilliantly executed, I loved the stunt work too. The music wasn't too bad, again it was better in places than Terminator 3.
To sum up, this movie surprised me, I didn't expect it to be as slick as it was 7/10
not perfect, but not bad either :)
