Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Wow, this is a decent film- I was thoroughly entertained and this despite going in with low expectations. McG manages a great color palette and the action sequences are awesome. Sure, this isn't as great as The Terminator or Terminator 2 but it is surely better than T3 and a lot better than the other works in the cannon. Both Bale and Worthington are fantastic. Go watch Terminator salvation now.

I have seen a lot of reviews on here, more than I usually read. And it is way too many 1's. This movie is no where near a one rating. I've been watching a lot of movies since I was a little kid. From cheesy 80's flicks, to straight to TV. This is no where near a 1. This movie sits at a 7 for me. Would have got an 8 but I'm super hard on the female acting in these new generation of movies.This movie by now is 9 years old so nothing would be giving it away. But with that said Linda Hamilton in the first one was 19 years old. And she can act. Which is why 7 or 8 years later in Terminator 2 her acting was polished the movie was even better. It is not a secret if the female character can act you are going to have a good movie. The female acting in this movie was decent which is why it got a 7 from me.But I can see why people gave this a one. The first Terminators were scary. The machine just kept going. You also had the awesome 80's music, along with the clothes. I mean seriously Sarah O conner was riding an 80's scoter and listening to head phones. And going to the club. Just a lot of vintage stuff in that movie which brought it back to the 80's. The 90's was even better in T2, crazy hair cuts, dirt bikes and the graphics in that at the time were unique. But they did try to incorporate some of the old ideas. John Conner goes "come with me if you want to live", the motor cycle scene still is exciting as it was almost 30 years ago. The naked terminator. Normally during these remakes I get bored or fall asleep. It was action through the whole movie. I don't know if it was christian bale. Or who it was. But I felt entertained. If people came here looking at this review thinking they are get a play by play of the movie. I'm not doing that with this one. You have to watch and please don't listen to these negative reviews. They want to live in the past on something that has already been done. Once again don't try to watch this thinking this is going to be like the fist 2. It is not. Its just going to be great acting and simply a plot that action. Nothing over the top where its mind blowing. Expecting this movie to be like the first 1 where they were on to something new, and the second one where they had some super special effects is asking too much. It was well written movie. And its great to have all the Terminators. Cause I do.

I like great science fiction movies. Not "Sci-Fi" or "SyFy" (gag). T-SAL has it all: an excellent "tech-turns-evil-but-humanity-wins-in-end" storyline, an excellent cast, terrific acting, outstanding special effects & a mind-blowing Dolby 5.1 soundtrack. So, sit back, relax, put the microscope away & enjoy the movie!

Post apocalyptic Los Angles. The machines have risen. The year is 2018 in "Terminator Salvation".Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed this film, it was a nice change of pace for something different,so I'm glad that they chose to do the future war. Trouble was director McG didn't have these three ingredients: First- there was no Arnold.Second- Setting the time frame of the future war in 2018 instead of 2029 sort of ticked off fans. And last but not least, Third- Giving this a toned down PG-13 rating instead of an R rating of what the audience expected.Having said that, I still enjoyed it for what it was.This may contain some spoilers.Marcus Wright, the guy we see in the beginning, of the film set in 2003 is a convict on death-row about be executed for a crime that he possibly committed. But before he is committed he is ask to donate his body to science but it's really Cyberdyne Systems.Fast forward to the future war of 2018, Marcus wakes up in some type of bunker as he exits he sees the world is a cold dark wasteland. He later teams up with a young Kyle Reese as they embark on a journey to find John Connor. Marcus and John form an uneasy alliance for John learns Marcus is cyborg, but uses him to help infiltrate Sky-net's compound. It's flawed but, I think it was at least a little better than T3.I give it a 6/10 a cool fun action movie. If your a fan of the franchise I recommend it.
