Terminator Salvation (2009)

I like great science fiction movies. Not "Sci-Fi" or "SyFy" (gag). T-SAL has it all: an excellent "tech-turns-evil-but-humanity-wins-in-end" storyline, an excellent cast, terrific acting, outstanding special effects & a mind-blowing Dolby 5.1 soundtrack. So, sit back, relax, put the microscope away & enjoy the movie!

I really dind't like this movie. Christian Bale is allright but the script and plot feel like B-grade movie stuff. Where is the original actor? They could have better waited till all good ingredients were in place before making this movie. I did like the special effects.

Post apocalyptic Los Angles. The machines have risen. The year is 2018 in "Terminator Salvation".Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed this film, it was a nice change of pace for something different,so I'm glad that they chose to do the future war. Trouble was director McG didn't have these three ingredients: First- there was no Arnold.Second- Setting the time frame of the future war in 2018 instead of 2029 sort of ticked off fans. And last but not least, Third- Giving this a toned down PG-13 rating instead of an R rating of what the audience expected.Having said that, I still enjoyed it for what it was.This may contain some spoilers.Marcus Wright, the guy we see in the beginning, of the film set in 2003 is a convict on death-row about be executed for a crime that he possibly committed. But before he is committed he is ask to donate his body to science but it's really Cyberdyne Systems.Fast forward to the future war of 2018, Marcus wakes up in some type of bunker as he exits he sees the world is a cold dark wasteland. He later teams up with a young Kyle Reese as they embark on a journey to find John Connor. Marcus and John form an uneasy alliance for John learns Marcus is cyborg, but uses him to help infiltrate Sky-net's compound. It's flawed but, I think it was at least a little better than T3.I give it a 6/10 a cool fun action movie. If your a fan of the franchise I recommend it.
