Movie Review: Terminator Salvation

[lampie1970]

OK, so, I like science fiction...deal ;)

I went in to the theater thinking of this as a "new" movie, not a sequel or a prequel...or a whatever it is supposed to be. and I did get confused. cause at one point "the" John Connor (Christian Bale), says that he had never seen a humanoid terminator. OK, did you forget about Arnold in T1, 2, 3? But I was talking to my friend Sean and he said that was because Arnold hadnt gone back, that it hadnt happened yet?? and so, a few parallel timelines and a handful of space-time continuums later and all that, OK whatever...

Anyway, as a movie, I liked it. I would see it again if only for the Christian Bale/Sam Worthington dynamic. These two guys are fierce on the screen together. Stuff blew up, people get kidnapped, and rescued, and killed...lol....it's a terminator movie people!! 4

Arnie even puts in a cameo appearance (probably a CGI.. but still good to see!)

It's a very bleak view of the world - the washed-out colours of a post-Apocalyptic wasteland, gritty, stony, earthy, muddy! Laden with the special effects of course. The part-humanoid / part-machine experiment-with-the-death-row-guy (Marcus?) was cool to see, reminded me a bit of the Two Face character in The Dark Knight with all the flesh ripped from his face.

Enjoyable nonetheless. Terminator movies never fail to be entertaining!
