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!
