Terminator Salvation (12A)

What is done now is that a screenplay is made that satisfies execs enough. A director is sourced and vfx crew is sourced...blahblah actors/ other crews. Whatever. What is wrong? They take good and bad apples and set them on a rotten tree. No one cares enough to sort out their mistakes. What mistakes? Any new ideas hung on an old tired event line(standard plotline) fail completely. They seem added on while the crud train rolls on. Thats whats wrong with the story/plot. Next:interactions(ie dialogues/combats) dialogues should stem from the plot because the plot is poor, the dialogue is too. Combat: giant terminator cant kill its target, why? The crap plot is bad and too rigid, plus the director uses it to create tension, it does in respect of logic being strained.Combat:bike chase, same thing applies. Combat:T800 takes out Tmarcus with one heart punch, heart punches john conner 20 metres, connor ok. (plus deciding its better to throw him about instead of just kill him.Same thing applies, crap and illiogical. rewrite needed. actions like these litter the movie and are the sysmptoms of 'franchise sickness' If you base a films success on its action, then please, please obey the logic of your created world, machines should be not made to miss or act illogically to create tension, find a way around by writing better scripts and stop wasting good cg/actors/equipment with bad direction and plot. End of.

This felt more like Transformers than Terminator. Very bad and not true to the original plot. Best actor was the CGI Arnie. As a huge Terminator fan this was a massive let down. First three were class.

Been looking forward tothis moviewfor 20 years, and what happens...cliche ridden hollywood drivel. The contirved dramatic tension between the characters is sub moronic in its unreality. I gave up about half way through, I can enter a far more imaginative and realistic post apocalyptic world in Fallout 3 thanks.

I'll be back bigger and better soon! :)

Was John Connor's squeeze supposed to be pregnant or did she just happen to be during filming and did she have a name I don't recall. Poorly edited. A hotch potch of ideas thrown together. Subtle as a flying mallet refernces to earlier outings and the CGI Arnie? There was a puddle under my seat when I left. Poor

Peter...you can get that bad taste out of your mouth by not talking crap! A good movie I thought.

Sorry but this is a movie painfully unaware of it's own premise. Robots from the future are hunting down people who will bother them later. I kept waiting for the film to realize that... sadly, it never did. Well, okay, Kyle Reese was on the hit list. Which means that the Skynet of the present (in the future) knows that Reese will cause trouble (in the past) by going back in time and fathering John Connor, who in this movie seems to be a low level staffer, but who is, I'm told, going to save humankind (further in the future... or maybe in the past). So why doesn't Skynet just send a Terminator back to kill Reese's grandfather in WW2 or something (maybe they did or will do when they get around to it)? And if Skynet does have time travel capability, why fight the resistance with the old, clunk-a-naters? Why not send their best-o-naters (that they make in the future) back in time to stomp out the resistance (which will be lead by that genius John Connor at some point)? And if TIME TRAVEL is the key, why isn't JC (that's John Connor) more interested in looking for the time machine? I kept waiting to see THAT in this film. I mean, so what if Skynet kills Reese... It's only a problem if time travel works like it does in Back to the Future, then JC will disappear as the past is changed and he ceases to have ever existed. But if we're not dealing with BTTF time travel effects, he can find the time machine and go back in time and stop Reese from being killed. But if Terminator time travel works like it does in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, then JC can just promise to invent a mega-powerful killer robot later, send it back in time to just that moment and... poof, it suddenly appears. Using that system, the he could have a stud farm of killer robot babes all to himself. And why not, really? But really, the dirty little secret to the Terminator franchise is this: John Connor will ultimately realize that if he DOES succeed in stopping Skynet from unleashing Judgement Day, then that will prevent him from ever being born. So it's in his own best interests to help Skynet along to that point even if it means everyone dies. Finally, I think this movie should have ended with John Connor being turned into a cyborg. Wouldn't that have been a twist...??

T3 was far more enjoyable than this, it actually had a storyline. T4 is just all out war and little else, no twists or anything memorable, i can imagine the terminator ride at disneyworld giving out the same, "try it once but never again" experience. Great for the young ones (the movie isnt even a 15 cert so thats fine for them but a bit of a problem for any all out film fan expecting a no holds barred experience without limits to merely make more money and also please those that grew up with the tellytubbies)! ;) a bit lame, and i imagine if there is ever a T5, expect more of the same.. and compared to the first 3 movies.. thats alot less.

Much like the directors name, "McG", like any McDonalds meal, it initially looks great, fills you up for your $6, the kids will no doubt love it, but after a while comparing it to what else you could have gotten for the same money youll begin to regret it and feel like spewing. Lol

THEY LET YOU REVIEW MOVIES? LOL...HOPE THE RIDE ON THE BANDWAGON ISN'T TOO BUMPY
