Terminator Salvation is a very good movie. It is obvious that Terminator can be stand-alone movie, without Schwarzenegger. The action scenes are awesome.

I loved the movie only thing I disliked was the appearance of Arnie. Pretty much spot on with the review.

Right on man. I can’t figure out what people expected out of this movie, and everyone seems to be ignoring the subtle themes examining the nature of humanity through the character of Marcus and the discourse between Connor and Command. I expected so much less from this film, and after the general disappointment of Star Trek XI, it was a refreshing change to leave the theatre entertained.

I liked this movie. If you forget about Terminator 3, I think it makes a worthwhile addition to the Terminator franchise, and is definitely better than I thought it was going to be. Bale’s tantrum during the filming is what most people probably think of walking in, but damn, he is a genuinely good actor, although Worthington is even more impressive. Definitely thumbs up.

I agree with the previous poster I don’t think doing this movie has had a positive effect on his reputation especially after his antics off screen. But getting back to the movie, I’m glad I read all the bad reviews before I watched it because I think I enjoyed the movie more because of it. I was expecting something far worse than it actually was. Overall it’s a good movie with mad crazy special effects the bikes were cool!

Were you watching the same film as me? I had high hopes for this; Christian Bale on board, set during the war that we only catch glimpses of in 1 & 2, and some damn fine trailers on the lead up to release. But what do we get? A plot line that simply does not work and is utterly transparent (I guessed the plot reveal for Marcus and the nature of the ’secret’ signal disappointingly within the first 10 minutes or so), some awful dialogue (most of which is shouted to make it sound some how more important), some quite dreadful performances (including the usually excellent Bale but excluding Worthington), poor set pieces (why do no HK’s or any other machines turn up when Skynet central is under attack?), but worst of all no real feel for the iconography set up in 1 & 2and waiting to be developed further. And no it wasn’t entertaining or ‘just a film’ or any other excuse people want to offer up as an excuse for poor film making, it was just bad and I wish I hadn’t paid to go and see it.

Many people are bashing this movie due to there own misunderstanding:

Such things like “Why was John Surprised by the T800’s being developed”

Because they came “earlier” than he expected. 2018 is pretty early tbh. (This was mentioned somewhere in the movie, and some guy even says “T800… Just like you said Connor.”)

Why are there no lasers? Because they havent been created yet.

Personally I loved the movie and it holds up against T1, a little short compared with T2 but then most films are. (Blows away T3 as expected!)

As for the plot, I’ve heard many people criticizing “why didnt they just killed Kyle to begin with?”

Skynet didnt know he was the father of John until it downloaded the information from Marcus – at which point a T600 goes for Kyle.

I will however agree, why was Kyle – a civillian, important enough to be on that kill list of skynets (High ranking officers seemed to be the only people on it aside from him)

Nice review Sean, its very refreshing to see someone who doesnt just follow suit of Revviewer X or Y by jumping on the “HEY IT HAS NO PLOT SO IT SUX” train.

Movie gets a 4.5/5 for me.

I loved this film and it make me smile – I could analyse the storyline, compare with the other films but all that mattered to me was that I found it entertaining – which I did very much so.

I just beamed when ‘you could be mine blasted out that radio’.

I thought the reviewer had it spot on with his review.
