Movie Review: Terminator Salvation

Well well, what can a I say about Terminator Salvation? Terminator 3 is better than this. That's for sure. It's hard to believe that they spent $200 Million on a movie like this but no effort of any kind in the script. Sure the special effects and the action sequences are fantastic, but take that away and you get yourself a very generic, dumb plot(which is a complete mess). Arnold is sorely missed in this franchise.

The Good
-Utterly fantastic special effects
-Amazing production
-Cool action sequences
-The new t-600 and t-750 are amazing designs
-They have the damn Terminator theme in it
-Good movie length

The Bad
-The ending was a little weak
-The ending provided no closure...just left it open for another sequel
-Not enough time spent on the back story and what happened 2003-2018. -Horrible acting
-Storyline is fucked up
-Strip away the action, the movie becomes unoriginal
-Some poor editing
-John Connor is piratically worthless in this film, Marcus wright proved to be far more interesting

And last but not least


Keep Going down


A little more


Just a bit more


Spoiler!!!!!!!!



>Arnold is in the movie. As predicted he has his face digitally grafted onto another actor. An interesting concept for a cameo but still he is sorely missed. all the rumors of his involvement were true.

I had a feeling it was bad, due to the amount of ad time it had.

Thanks for the review sir

Just came back from seeing it... to be honest you had to realize it was in a war and there couldn't be much story within it. it was action packed and had lots of excitement. part of the reason why i think they didnt show too much was because they are planning on having 2 other movies after it. they didnt divulge much in this movie.... which leads me to believe we'll be seeing more.

this isnt the end to this franchise. i didnt think it was the most horrible movie but all 3 movies lead up the the war.

a war is a war, bang bang boom. and i think there will be more to this franchise than this movie.

Was it me, or did you guys find you didnt really get into any of the characters? McG was not a good choice for director maybe? A lot of potential wasted in this movie. Was still good, but just there with Wolverine in terms of satisfaction.

Agreed.

It has its moments, but nothing special overall.

7/10

spoiler:






The Arnold scene was wicked--especially the opening with the music.

I don't even need to see this movie to know it is Terminator meets Charlies Angels. McG is not a good director and I have no idea who let him do this project. But to those who did see it already and gave us the info, thank you.

The director was terrible. I didn't even know until when I sat down in my seat that he directed both Fantastic 4 movies. I cringed when I heard that.
