    They are so definitely back and better than ever and packing pure punch. An explosive, ultra-spectacular and exhilarating edge of your seat action-packed thrill-machine from start to it's amazing finish. An incredible, fast, furious and breathtaking adventure epic that's a truly ...( read more)remarkable continuation of the classic franchise. It explodes with extraordinary special effects, heart-pounding action and nail-biting suspense like you wouldn't believe. A powerful and truly unforgettable film. It pushes your adrenaline to the limit that you literally have to catch your breath in order to keep up with the excitement. Director, McG has crafted a stunningly visionary masterwork that brings the series to new heights and expectations. An outstanding tour-de-force of an action film. Christian Bale is electrifying, bringing new life and darkness to the lead role of John Connor and delivers in every way. Sam Worthington is riveting, showing great capability in this important role both as a star and a promising action hero. Bale and Worthington are unforgettable. A very exceptional and talented supporting cast. This great film is fulled by great star power, amazing special effects, pulse-pounding action and that only helps support the solid story that it has. A full-throttle adrenaline-pumping and mind-blowing heat-seeking missal of a movie that will knock you out of your seat.

    Was okay. . i didnt hate it like some but wasnt the great movie it could have been. This was the movie I think many original Terminator fans were wanting . . the battle in the future but it didnt live up to what we wanted.

    So what do we call Terminator Salvation? A sequel? A prequel? It's hard to define and even harder to explain the in's and out's of the Terminator franchise to an someone coming into it cold. What this film does is follow the war between the machines and the Resistance, a small gr...( read more)oup of survivors trying to destroy that evil programming called Skynet. (insert Vista joke here)

    The film basically follows the exploits of John Connor (Christian Bale), who is considered a prophet by the Resistance because he can see the future. No, actually he has the tapes his mother started recording in the first film. It does beg the question- How did he find a functioning tape deck in the post-Apocalyptic world? Why couldn't he put them on his iPod? There's plenty of room between the Guns N' Roses tunes.

    John Connor isn't the main character in this fourth installment. Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) awakens from a coma during one of the battles and enters this new world that he doesn't know. He literally stumbles into Connor and Connor's father (who is only a teenager at this point) Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin). Remember that Reese copulates way back in 1984.

    This is basically a futuristic war film with effects that mesmerize beyond belief. Sadly, there isn't much of a story to go along with it. That's the problem with the film- if you haven't followed the original films you will be confused, wondering what the hell is going on as the film plays out. Worthington is the highlight of the film, playing a man lost in the brave new world to which he has awaken. Bale seems underused in the film and has adopted his gruff Batman voice that people freaked about last summer for this film as well.

    This film seems to be opening another trilogy of Terminator films and even though it outshines the third film, Terminator Salvation fails to achieve the greatness of James Cameron's original films. This film is full of great action, but fails to deliver much of a story behind it. Not the best of the franchise, but it still delivers a nice ride.

    Despite the negativity I'd heard, I watched this w/ a pretty open mind. It didn't help. The plot was stretched too thinly over the 2 hours. In the end, I felt like the only thing that was accomplished was the creation of more plot holes in the Terminator universe.

    Christian Bale really ruined it by being a douche.

    Terminator Salvation brings a much needed gritty feel after the cartoonish antics of Rise of the Machines. The action scenes are well done and the performances are good. The problem with the movie lies within the script which has so many plot holes, you'll lose count by the end o...( read more)f the movie. An improvement of 3, but the series needs to get some new writers to improve the franchise.

    Met expectations of it being an action movie.

    Good film although not as good as I thought it would be. Standout performances by Sam Worthington [despite his lapses in accent] and Anton Yelchin. Solid performance by Christian Bale. Bryce Dallas Howard's character should have had a more important role & I wish Common would ha...( read more)ve had more lines. Moon Bloodgod delivered a good performance, she was so damn sexy.
