McG finds his Redemption in'Salvation'.

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2009)

Who would've thought it?That 'McG' would actually deliver a worthy addition to the Terminator Mythology?? Following on from the disappointing T3, Salvation had much to make up for.
There are some amazing action scenes and superb effects(both CGI and practical-including one'cheer out loud'30 second'cameo'), but McG also directs the quieter,human parts with some flair.
The story is fine, if a little simplistic and the script, while not Oscar winning,is functional. Great performances from the majority of the cast, especially Worthington(who outshines a mean, moody Bale),who will soon be a mega star and a rousing soundtrack by Danny Elfman help make this not only a must see Summer blockbuster, but a superb sci-fi/action/horror film in it's own right.
A word of warning, though, the movie is VERY dark.Those looking for the humour of T2 or T3 will be sorely disappointed.This is, after all, a post-apocalypse world we're seeing! Recommended.
