Terminator Salvation : Awesome~!

Posted by Lord_Shadow

I was very excited about this installment of the Terminator movie because the fact that there was Christian Bale as the lead actor and McG being the director, it was definitely a movie not to be missed. Expectations were high because frankly Terminator 3 really sucked, and I'm more of those kind who enjoys a good story line with good acting.


The story is set in the near future and humanity is on the brink of destruction with only a small handful left going against the machines which are so insecure that humans are a threat to their existence and vow to kill every single human. The focus is on how John Connor becomes the legendary leader to the human resistance and how he first meets his 'Daddy' as a teenager (Terminator fans will know what I mean).

Good action sequences from director McG ensures that your eyes and mind will never get a rest. The killer robots are depicted as eery, fast and furious in executing their kills; nothing like those superman terminators we saw in earlier installments (keep an eye out for the very cool and practical motorcycle robots). Explosive and super realistic 3D scenes keeps you at the edge, and the human feelings element is played out well by an android having personality issues deciding that he is more human rather than machine :)

One possible weakness of the movie may be the fact that it doesn't do a very good job in explaining the relationship between John Connor and his father. Newbies to the Terminator movie might be lost if they did not pay attention to the fact that John Connor was fathered by a soldier he himself sent back in time to save his mother, hence if the father was killed then there would be no John Connor.



YOU WANNA WATCH IT
  • Don't miss it for the world if you are a fan of the Terminator movies
  • You get to enjoy good action sequences
  • If you are a Christian Bale fan

YOU DON'T WANNA WATCH IT
  • If you are the type that does not like action movies, avoid it
  • If you are those who does not understand the Terminator story; maybe a better idea would be to start with the other Terminator series. Or at least get a hand on the fact that John Connor sent his father back in time (without knowing it) to save his mother and hence 'producing' John Connor :)
