Terminator Salvation (2009)

Terminator 4, or the first in a new trilogy, talk about action film! Thats what it was, so don't go in expecting something with a deep brilliant story. We meet Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) on death row, signing over his body to science like 10 years before skynet takes over. Then Bam, Christian Bale is almost nuked at a facility where the resurrected Marcus Wright comes crawling from the tomb, and so the story begins.
Pretty much non-stop action, explosions and lots of CG. Some looked cheesy some was pretty rock solid. The CG Arnold was pretty weak, like our Governor.... There were lots of call-backs to the old films, Molten Metal, Freezing, semi-truck chases and kicking out windows.
Anyway, it was a very good setup for the next 2 films, we'll see how they pan out. This has the potential to bleed into the matrix franchise. So if you are in the mood for Action and not much thinking, this one's for you!

Star Trek (2009)

J.J. Abrams, a brilliant creator and story teller has done it again, from some long running awesome TV shows to some stunning feature films. Star Trek was everything it was cracked up to be. From beautiful visuals to a well crafted story. Have no fear all you Star Trek Geeks, it all ties in to the Star Trek Galaxy. The well picked cast was excellent and we hope they stick around for the next batch of films.
Really this film is a must see, for ANYONE. If you know nothing about Trek you will still have a great ride. If you want space battles, hand to hand combat, a story, it's all here. J.J. really pulled this one off.
I wont give any spoilers but what it comes down to is, just go see it.
