Terminator Salvation Review
As you may have heard from the critics, Terminator Salvation isn't what you'd call a "Good Movie". The story telling and dialogue are pretty damn flimsy. It was, however, what you'd call a "Very Entertaining Movie".
The CG and cinematography are AWESOME. With its horror movie sensibilities, the movie tries to make you jump out of your seat every ten minutes [which worked remarkably well on Ethan]. There are lots of little references to the other movies for diehard fans. Plus, as you probably know, there are GIANT KILLER ROBOTS (as if anything else really mattered). Oh, and Bale and Worthington are both really hot.
It's important to remember that the difference between the first 3 movies and this new one is that the other movies took place in our world, in our present. They were action movies with a scifi edge. This movie is a geeky scifi movie with a lot of action. (And eye candy.)
It's not a character study, a philosophical journey, or a glimpse at the human psyche. It IS a lot of geeky fun.
