Summary: After Skynet has destroyed much of humanity in a nuclear holocaust, a group of survivors led by John Connor struggles to keep the machines from finishing the job.
With storytelling as robotic as the film's iconic villains, Terminator Salvation offers plenty of great effects but lacks the heart of the original films.
First, Christian Bale is horrible as John Connor. I can't say there's a character development though. I'm sick of his Dark-Knight-Like voice (Bale, It's F... Distracting!) Secondly, script has many problems also and takes itself seriously too much. I know people live in a post-apocalyptic world and try to get rid of the machines in the ass, but there should have been some humor to let us to take some fresh air. However, I liked it somehow. Sam Worthington's performance is terrific after all.
A major disappointment for 'Terminator' fans, if not casual action or sci-fi fans. McG's loud and rather obnoxious future war treatment on the franchise is superficial, one-note, and severely lacking strong storytelling and performances of its actors. I like Sam Worthington, a few of the ideas thrown in, but ultimately it feels lifeless, and fully without suspense or emotion. The action is redundant and purposeless, Bale is a letdown, and that CGI Arnold cameo: abrupt, fake, and embarrassing.
Now the question everybody asked himself after Cameron´s masterpiece from the middle 90´s how the war might be is answered...or not ? I was really disappointed but my expectations weren´t very high. McG did a terrible job. The Story is outrageous, Bale was absolutely the wrong choice to replace Furlong as John Connor, even the effect´s are only mediocrity. Hollywood´s imagination of the "Judgement Day" is crap !!
For pretty much the entire duration of this movie, a bunch of shit will just occur with no regard to anything else. How could so much money have been poured into something that no one really seemed to give a shit about?
