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 ed 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 :D
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. |
