This movie granted, could have had more story. It had more action (which the action sequences were very well done)than story. Could have shown more character development such as between Connor and Reese. It was well established in the first one that Connor and Reese seemed to have a special relationship that you later know that Reese is John’s father and John himself knows this in the future. Aside from that McG actually covered some good little facts. Example, in T2 its made clear that Connor in the future had this big scar on his face which he didn’t get as a kid(T2), didn’t have when he was a young adult(T3), but got it when he was older, which they show how he get’s it. They also got a lot of the machines from the first two pretty similar(Ground HK’s,Aerial HK’s, and his very accurate description of that T-600! Bulky mofo, thought that was the most bad ass till the T-800 came out!). Another great thing about the film! The introduction to the T-800 model terminator was awesome. In the other movies the t-800’s seemed so mechanical(even t-3 they seemed that way) but when they had skin they moved like normal people. In this movie they move exactly the same, flesh or metal. In matter of fact they were more scary with just the metal. The list goes on but if your a fan and know the background you’ll enjoy it. I’m a geek, I know haha. Enjoy though

Terminator Salvation blows Star Trek out of the water! It is a work of immense creative genius. Reviewing films is the most subjective thing on the planet–I’m surprised everybody doesn’t know that. What anyone says about ANY film is just ONE person’s take. I would never avoid a movie just because of that..some of my favorite films of all time were roundly badmouthed!

A great story and excellent acting. I have decided the critics must
have seen another movie because I found myself immersed in a world that I would never want to exist in. I give high marks to McG to believing
this is the world that Cormac McCarthy described in THE ROAD.
Christian Bale did an amazing job as John Conner. His portrayal as an
individual who is tired of the war and starting to doubt if he is the person he has been raised to be is perfect.
Sam Worthington was excellent as Marcus Wright. An individual who is truly immersed with parts that he was not born with.
Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese was believable as the teen who sets out to find Conner.
Too bad critics did not see the same movie I saw.

I for one would love to see at least one more Terminator movie and see John Connor bring Skynet down. People can call it “unnecessary” all they want but this was a good movie. Great action, good effects and the acting was up to par. Critics never were any fun.

Terminator Salvation is an awesome action flick.

I totally enjoyed this movie.

What is a Terminator movie? I refer to the original to answer that question:

A Terminator movie is a sci-fi action movie which humanity fights machines. Lots of things gets blown up, there are chase sequences, and there is a thin plot line involving saving humanity, saving the future, and saving John Connor.

Now does Terminator Salvation deliver those things?

You bet your ass it does.

Do I need cheesy humor that T2 and T3 had? Hell no.

If you don’t like action films with a hint of sci-fi, then why have you bothered to watch any of the Terminator films?

Thats like expecting a Rambo movie to be something it isn’t.

I saw it Thursday and loved it. You almost cannot disappoint with any Terminator movie as long as you have action, good acting, and great effects … this movie had all three. I am HUGE Terminator fan and this movie did not disappoint; I am looking forward to the next installment.
