Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
TheGDfather 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.
bombersflyup Terminator Salvation is a good action flick, with two great lead actors. It is just a little bit more detached than the last one.Like most action flicks, this film lacks emotion and heart and is fairly cold, except in the last moments. To compare it to a similar film like "War of the Worlds," where the machines controlled by aliens are taking the humans like cattle, there is a sheer intensity and determination of Cruise's character to rescue his daughter along with the quality action. I got absolutely nothing but annoyance out of the Kyle Reese and Star characters. Yelchin can act I've seen it, but half his screen time is spent yelling STAR! STAR! Worthington's character's story line is superb and the moment John gets him to look down and see that he isn't human is the highlight of the film. All the various machines and battles are terrific and Bale and Worthington excellent. I liked it.
bquick94 What the hell do you people want? This movie is by far better than the rest (except T2 of course!) This post-apocalyptic vision is everything I wanted and more, how underrated this film is. Badass in so many ways, casting has never been more perfect, terminators come in so many varieties, sci-fi af, grittier than ever before, I lay awake at night trying to get myself to dream up a sequel 'cause I know it'll never happen because of all of you idiots you rated this bad. I bet you people like T3 and TGenesis better. How nauseating. SALVATION IS SICK in the non-nauseous way. Coolest portrayal of the future of the terminator universe. I LOVE THIS FILM.
petewilson-26122 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!
