...I thought it was awesome...
posted on 31 Aug 2009What is with the hate?? Everyone should take a deep breath and just accept this movie for what it is. I saw this last night and i thought it was totally kick-ass once i left the theater. The plot was a bit on the weak side but the action scenes made it up for it. I liked the new characters in this and all of the cast did an excellent job in my opinion. I lol'ed when Arnold came onto the screen but naked, which is funny since he is still the governor of California. I think some fans of this are way way too uptight with the series, it's different but i think this is a great addition to the terminator series. I loved every terminator movie including the 3rd movie! I'll be glad to pick this up on blu ray when it comes out this summer.
Just dreadful
posted on 31 Aug 2009I had hopes for this movie after the average T3. Very disappointing movie. A very, very thin plot, boring uninspired action scenes. Dreadful characters. The lead actress was just a pretty face and nothing more. They must have great dentists in post apocalyptic America because everyone had very, very shiny white teeth.Skynet itself was dull. Plot holes galore and an ending that will make the you gag it was so cringworthy. There was one exciting scene in the move but that was it. Michael Ironside was completely underused. The direction was all over the place.The crowd I saw the movie with laughed at the end. The Terminators themselves were just bland, not menacing at all. This is by far the worst action movie I have seen in many years.
Good movie
posted on 31 Aug 2009I loved Terminator one and two, I was disappointed in three but it still did not ruin the series. Now we are on the fourth movie Terminator Salvation, I've been hearing a lot of bad on this movie but being a terminator fan, I was going to go anyway. It begins and we see Marcus in the present and that begins his story. Then we move ahead a few years and we see John Conner, he's in a battle and it's loud and a lot of explosions. We get to see a hint at the old model and it reveals that John is not the leader in fact he is not even aloud to know what is fully going on. After that Marcus appears and finds the city in ruins, he is confused and by this we get to hear the characters talk about what happened.From here we get to see the T-600 and Kyle Reese, Marcus is rather cold towards him at first but he is pretty confused about what is going on. The T-600 being a terminator it can't fail to empress. They are a lot like the T-800 but ratty and big. Eventually John gets to talk to the commanders and the plot gets set up from here. It follows the pattern of the Terminator movies, a big battle or fight then to some peace and then a big fight and then another peace. All leading to the big fight and some surprise that are shocking, Christian Bale does well as a colder John Conner than I would like but Sam Worthington steals the show with Marcus. We get to see some of the old terminators from the first movie and all kinds of new non-humanoid Terminators but sometimes I feel that the T-600, the new endo-skeleton deserved a bit more of action than motorcycle terminators.I hear there is too many explosions and not enough plot but for a war based movie it works, like the old terminators a plot point, a battle a plot point a battle. I think John and his wife Kate should have spoken more and you have to look close to notice she's pregnant. The new ending since they changed it works well with what they set up and it flows well. I wish it had ended otherwise but that's just me. It's true these movies could have been more plot and less explosions but it has as much plot as the first. This is a good movie maybe one of my favorites but to even say it's close or not as good as three is a lie. This is a good movie and while I'd more skeletons matching at the humans gunning each other down and then a bit more plot on Conner but what this movie does right is Marcus, not to say Bale did a bad job but Marcus is the show. 4/5
surprisingly good!
posted on 31 Aug 2009The most recent update on the Terminator film series. Some might say it's not worth seeing, die-hard fans would give it high praise, there's no real big response to the film yet whether or not it will be a summer blockbuster.Basically, it picks up where we left off from number three when Skynet began the attack on the humans. There is a bit of backtracking with the new and updated terminator machine and the history behind this model and how only one was manufactured much like Peter Weller's character in Robocop in the use of a human body.The new machine sets out from Skynet to essentially eliminate John Connor and Kyle Reese. With more smarts than the rest, what's left of the human body tries to fight back against the orders and ends up playing out the role originally intended for Arnold if he was still acting. However it doesn't exclude his brief cameo he has toward the end of the film.I'm not much one to list spoilers, however once you see the way this film ends, it makes me want to start right back at the beginning again.The grading of the imagery should get high praise. It is very much earthly and worn on both the land and the machinery seen. It is very much in the same tone as Camp Crystal Lake in the recent remake of Friday The 13th. The acting is not that much different from the other three films which makes it realistic and firm.
Not understanding the bad press at all.
posted on 31 Aug 2009I just got back from seeing a midnight screening of the newest installment in The Terminator franchise, going into it with an open mind after witnessing the debacle that was T3 several years ago. Having said this, I honestly felt at though this movie did a fantastic job of translating the visions of the future that were set up in the original Terminator and T2 and fleshing out a feature-length film of them. While there indeed a few "what in the hell were they thinking" moments in the chase scenes, I felt that on the whole, the movie was a wonderful success, gripping me in a way that T3 never came close to. I truly hope prospective viewers give this film the shot that it rightly deserves and go into it with an open mind, and are able to just sit back and enjoy the ride...its a terrific one, trust me. Leaving the theater, I honestly felt as though this one gave the first two a run for their money as a film, as much as it pained me to say it. Truly a magnificent job breathing life into a series that could have very easy been done in once and for all with another terrible installment.
Wondering if negative reviewers enjoy good movies
posted on 31 Aug 2009I remember Terminator as a kid and watching Arnold's terminator repairing his eye in the hotel room and thinking COOL! We'll I'm far from a kid now and I still love movies...good movies. That's what this one is...it's a good movie...period. I am one of those who actually liked T3 and can't really understand why some don't. I watched all three other movies again shortly before going to see this one (T3 just hours before).I was really worried when I heard McG was doing this one. OH Charlie's Angels 2....so I was hesitant to even get excited. I dodged the trailers for a long time and shrugged this one off. At the last minute I decided to have a family outing to go see a movie over the weekend and so I went. I WAS NOT Disappointed. I always longed for more action in the future with the machines when I got glimpses of it in the other 3 and I have to say there were several spots in the movie I went "WOW" out loud.The action was great and it was a great blend of CGI and real effects. CGI is so overused in some of today's movies; it has its place of course. It was perfect in this one. The director did a fantastic job of creating a bleak war zone that gave impending doom that the other movies set up so well for us and each machine just added to that.By the way there is a story as well. A very heartfelt and very thought out one if you pay attention. It's not all mindless action, granted there is lots of action to be seen. Your senses are bombarded at times which is what we all want right, but it's the story here that pulls you in, and it's surprisingly not all about John Connor, or is it….? Is it the same as the others, absolutely not… is it supposed to be… absolutely not. This is not the "lets go back in time to kill John Connor" movies we love…been there and done that three times already. It is a great war movie…a war between the humans struggling to survive and a seemingly superior adversary who just keeps on finding ways, very intelligent ones, to deceive, survive, and dominate.You can listen to the naysayers all you want but if you like good movies; you owe it to yourself to give this one a shot. It's a really great movie that pays homage and refers back to its predecessors in a respectable way while all the while improving upon those principles and ideas already in place.
Simple as machines
posted on 31 Aug 2009Terminator Salvation has one big conceptual mistake: Characters in this movie are as simple as machines. I guess a today's computer scientist could program the behavior of the John Connor character in a couple of minutes. This movies shows the aimless war between machines made of metal and those made of carbon. I really had problem to sympathize with the carbon guys.If visual effects and a zoo of killing machines are the only - and I really mean only - things you are interested in, then this movie may be fun for you. Otherwise you'll probably be disappointed how poor the story and characters are.
It's a great movie, the date of release... not so much
posted on 31 Aug 2009This movie has been thrashed in ways it shouldn't. The rating, the date of release, the Box-Office success, the critics, everything is going to make this movie go to hell before it's time.This IS A GOOD MOVIE...yet, truth be told, this is not the usual Terminator Movie, but it's also true that the usual Terminator movie died with the 2nd one, the third is a bad combination of good elements.This is something that must be taken as it is: An amazingly well done action movie with terminators and John Connor in it.The issue with TS is that the nemesis is way too big... you'll see, the previous movies had A terminator to fight against, A terminator to center the evil part of the movie. Here we have countless terminators and a humongous skynet to fight against. It's quite logical to get the perception of emotionless characters if they're THAT hopeless.McG did a great job directing, and the details are there to prove how dedicated he was to make action sequences the way they're meant to be made TODAY. (real speed on bombastic action, steady-cam on the big picture, first-person on the character centered sequences, detailed sound, etc.).As to some people, the movie has many holes, filling them all will be insulting for fans and most smart people. The holes critics claim it has, is the way the characters deal with their reality, I mean, why has everything to be explained? It's not a 114 minutes long animated manual, it's a movie!. A movie that actually leaves many choices to be made on the sequels, a respectful movie, a movie meant to bee seen on the big screen.Watch the movie before discussing it, it's worth it, at least for the eye candy it provides countless times.
Nothing new. Well done. Worth watching?
posted on 31 Aug 2009Many parts of the film were clinging on the back of the first two terminator movies. The creators felt too strongly that the story would carry itself where my essential problem is how it fits in exactly with the Terminator universe. Everything happens how you expect it to, with nothing new to add, giving the film an unfortunate shallow depth.The action scenes are excellent, not over the top or too difficult to follow. Even from Charlie's Angels, we kind of understood that McG isn't a bad director, and this film was very fitting for a man of his experience. The musical score wasn't wasted either.Scripting wasn't bad, it got worse, better, worse and so on, unaided by the actors who didn't seem to understand their characters very well (which I believe was due to poor character development). The more developed characters made up for that and Christian Bale made a great John Connor.There are movies that are made for passion, and movies made for money. This was for money, and a good one for it. A slip road for a sequel with enough of the story left and enough decent action to move us onwards. Overall, it's a bit of fun. There's no reason to go out of your way to watch this unless that's your interest, but for me, I prefer films that are made for a better reason.
Better than T3, horriable compared to T1 & T2
posted on 31 Aug 2009Right of the back, Kids and young audience will LOVE this film, however I am 28, and I was 12 when T2 was released in Denmark. That is to this day the best cinema experience I have ever had. So my expectations to Terminator Salvation was very high, partly because Christian Bale is a franchise saver and partly because it Finally took place in the future. (as T3 should have done).Unfortunately the story line in Terminator Salvation is weak at best. It's not the least bit original (as T1 and T2 were) and there are no twists and turns that are not totally predictable. The acting is OK, but I was expecting Christian Bale to be perfect for John Conner. He was medium at best.The CGI was perfect, but the action (and there are LOTS of action) was not nearly as brutal as it should be. Terminators KILL PEOPLE, they don't throw them at a well every time they get their hands on a human. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that the last scene before they ride in to the horsiest like Lucky Luke, is clearly something they thrown together in 2 hours, trying to change the ending, because the original ending had leaked. The monologue ending as all terminator films have had, was totally cliché and poorly done.The good things in this movie are the action and the CGI. The rest is crap. I gave it 6 because they animated a young Arnold in to it, and some of the homage to the old movies was done well, like the "you could be mine" from Guns N Roses on the radio and stuff like that.Apart from that the film is filled with factually errors. I will name a few here. Warning SPOLERS COMING NOW On an end not I would say, watch this movie if you are less than 20 years of age or like movies like Transformers and The fast and the Furious.SPOILER 1: Gas on gas station will not blow up or burn. After 6 months gas is no longer flammable and won't be able to run a car.SPOILER 2: The scene where the computer explains the lame plot to the half man half machine is so stupid and unoriginal. I could not help but think of the South Park episode "Something Wal-Mart is coming this way" where the man in wall-mart is showing his different forms. (With a hat and without his jacket etc.) And why give away everything like some stupid James Bond or Scooby Doo villain. If the computer had just STFU they would have won the war.SPILER 3: (ENDING SPOILER): The last scene with the heart transplant is so stupid it utterly destroys what little quality this script had. You cannot do an outdoor heart transplant, even if they by poor luck had the same blood type and you against all odds had the right equipment for it.
The franchise is BACK
posted on 31 Aug 2009The terminator franchise was thought to be dead after the crap T3. Now,its back,back to kick ass! Christian Bale,the biggest star in Hollywood fills the shoes of John Connor. He is the first one to play the character in such a harden way. But hes not the one to look for,its Sam Worthington. A nobody that should be a common house hold name. Hes surely a rising star now that hes staring in the Clash of the titans remake.This movie has it all. great CGI,Sound,plot you name it. Thank you McG!! **********************Spoilers************************************ BTW,if you're looking for a govenator cameo,you won't be disappointed.
Fun Movie to Watch
posted on 31 Aug 2009First, let me start off by saying if you go in expecting something as good as T2, you'd be making a mistake. However, this movie is definitely better than T3. It's a decent action flick that i found fun to watch. However, I didn't like the fact that Christian Bale used his "batman" voice in this movie, I thought the movie could've done without that. Another thing is that this movie has a little bit more of a focus on another character rather than John Connor, but fear not, John Connor does have a decent amount of screen time in the movie.Overall, your not missing anything if you miss it at the movies, it'll do just fine on DVD and Blu-Ray
Hopefully this is the last.
posted on 31 Aug 2009As this picture is part of a franchise its hard not to think back to previous films but with Terminator 3 being a disappointment I didn't expect much from this either. The film in general was so-so, Christian Bale's John Connor sparked no relation to previous portrayals, instead what we saw was a cold and distant Connor. I never thought it would have been a good idea to base a Terminator film solely on the aftermath of Judgement day as with just small snippets of it in the first films it managed to keep a certain mystery which added to the appeal of the story. The character 'Marcus Wright' played by Sam Worthington is what kept this movie fueled enough to last the duration. The only thing that interests me about this film is that its basically a prequel set in the future. 'Yelchin' was good as 'Kyle Reese' but the nostalgia just didn't seem to hit me the way it should have. This story is done and if any other installment is released I would do my best to avoid it.
One of the worst Christian Bales movies!!
posted on 31 Aug 2009I don't even know where to star! The movie has no logic! How the machines knew how Rees look like? Why where they chasing him? Why did them kill him when they have the chance? What was the last "terminator".. the human-like one? A huge mistake?? A joke?? I mean it has never even crossed his mind to kill a human! There was no inner conflict! NOTHING! The chip he had in the head was just a piece of plastic that he took out and ... that was it! What about the other terminators? What was with the throwing of the people around? When I want to kill a bad I don't do it by throwing it into an wall! I just smash it! The end was so blank! "He needs a heart! Well, take mine! Oh, thank you!" I mean Conor accept it like the guy offered him his piece of bread! Is it so simple to accept somebody ultimate sacrifice? He took it like it was the normal and obvious thing to do. It was an incredible bad movie!! It had no good story, most of the characters had no play,the main characters had no inner richness, the special effects were ordinary, the end was predictable. Not even entertaining! Just very very stupid and boring... sooo disappointed!
For idiots, by idiots
posted on 31 Aug 2009Daylight in a post-apocalyptic-nuke-warfare environment? Resistance with huge army stations,airfields and A10 thunderbolds flying around? Huge transformers-decepticons alike robots digging though the grounds to collect some humAns for labor camps? What they are supposed to build there - the next Optimus-Prime-Terminator? Human interface devices in the skynet central core? A self-justifying skynet with morphing face upgrades? A 3-letter-named director? MCG - who is this? What's up with the original termintor theme? bullsh!t.!This movie is a badass mix between the real over the top brainless and narcissistic style movie "Ultraviolet" plus a big crank bucket of "Matrix 3" vs. "Sesame Street". This movie shouldn't be a movie. A 200 mio $ tech demo would be more appropriate. There is no acting, no atmosphere and no story for people with brains walking around.Ridiculous! But on the other hand very sad. Alien was destroyed by some AVP s...heads. And now comes another 3-lettered sh..head to ruin the next epic story.Sorry but, people how rates this techdemo above 3 must be mediocre minded or brainless morons.Save your money for the upcoming financial judgement day - just like i did.
Would have been better if I'd never seen the trailers...
posted on 31 Aug 2009It's very unfortunate that most of the trailers spoiled a huge plot-point. I feel that the first part of the movie, following Marcus Wright, would have been more compelling if I hadn't seen any of the trailers. It lost the suspenseful sensation, and only left me wondering how and when the big spoiler would be revealed to all the other characters.Overall, I think it was a good film, and that we've needed a film set during the war for a LONG time (in fact, while T3 was well done, I think I would have preferred it if this movie had been made instead).For fans of the series (or at least the mythos), I certainly recommend seeing it, but I also recommend avoiding the trailers like the plague.
A Second Chance
posted on 29 Aug 2009In "Terminator Salvation" with his very existence in jeopardy and the entire Human Resistance threatened, powerful and impassioned Christian Bale as leader John Connor declares, "If we stay the course, we are dead. We are all dead!" Christian Bale is such an intense and explosive presence. He has also been publicized for his personal explosion on the set of "Terminator Salvation". Perhaps, this was warranted or not? Bale has since apologized for his lapse in judgment and manners. Bale's passion and intensity elevates Director McG's "Terminator Salvation". Up until now, McG's most noteworthy movies were "Charlie's Angels" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle". Being a "Terminator" fan and a huge fan of the first two movies by James Cameron, hearing about "Terminator Salvation" seemed bit of a crap shoot. McG does well. The director pays homage to the mythology, and creates a new one particularly in the character of Marcus Wright, brilliantly played by charismatic Sam Worthington. The story by John Brancato, Michael Ferris, and Jonathan Nolan ("The Dark Knight") is action driven and compelling pathos."Terminator Salvation" works, because Worthington matches Bale's intensity and power. Their styles compliment. Especially from the "Batman" movies, Bale embodies a fierce internal drive and intelligence. He also balances a sense of compassion in Resistance Leader John Connor. Worthington as Marcus Wright, who may be the demise of Bale's Connor or as he says, "I'm the only hope you have…" is tortured and courageous resolve. Worthington balances strength and vulnerability. At the story arc, John (Bale) asks Marcus (Worthington), "You think you're human?" Marcus tells Resistance fighter (beautiful and strong Moon Bloodgood), "Everyone deserves a second chance…" This spirit echoes throughout "Terminator Salvation". That spirit lightens McG's very dark and violent vision of this Post Apocalyptic world.The Terminator machines in the movie are amazing, and the action sequences are pulse pounding thrill rides. There is a spectacular scene where a Skynet drone demolishes a bridge during a high speed chase. And in the climax, the battle with Bale, Worthington, and the "old school" Terminator is very cool.We first meet Marcus Wright in 2003, prior to his execution. He literally signs his life away to dying Dr. Kogan (frighteningly frail Helena Bonham Carter), who works for Cyberdyne Systems. In the Terminator mythology, Cyberdyne designed Skynet as the ultimate autonomous defense system. However, when Skynet is deployed the system becomes sentient and causes the nuclear holocaust, Judgment Day.Now 2018, Kyle Reese (spirited Anton Yelchin) rescues wondering Marcus from Terminator attack in the Los Angeles wasteland. He says, "Come with me, if you want to live!" There are pockets of Resistance scattered throughout the remainder of the world. Kyle Reese, though a teenager, will become the father of John Connor (Bale)—part of the narrative paradox. Marcus and John are destined to meet. But are they defining heroes, or tragic rivals in the ultimate conflict? Bale and Worthington are awesome in this matching of wills and humanity. The supporting cast is strong for the most part. Moon Bloodgood is great as Marcus's friend Blair Williams. Anton Yelchin has that youthful zeal as Kyle Reese. Bryce Dallas Howard seems miscast as John's pregnant and loving wife Kate. She does not provide the movie's emotional anchor.In the end, "Terminator Salvation" is worth watching, because of the great hero story and the powerful performances by Bale and Worthington. The shining objects are the metallic machines and rumbling explosions, but what compels is the human story from the hearts of Bale and Worthington.
I don't get where the bad reviews are coming from.
posted on 29 Aug 2009Terminator Salvation is currently sitting at 34% on RottenTomatoes.com. I just don't get it. When it comes to films, I am very hard to please. I'd say out of every fifteen movies I see I would only describe one as a 'good' movie, and even less as a 'great' one. But Terminator Salvation suited me just fine. It's engaging, interesting, well-directed, and at moments surprisingly emotional. Of course it pales in comparison to Terminator 1 and 2, but that's James Cameron for you. I found it to be fathoms better than the abomination on film: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Terminator Salvation had incredible visual effects, preferring to film on real sets rather than extensive green screens and using real helicopters and cars over computer generated replacements, and opting to film Animatronics over CG models. The effect is quite endearing as we movie goers have been bombarded with cheesy CG effects since 1995. (I nearly wanted to gouge my eyes out at the giant CG Sandman in Spiderman 3 or CG baby in Children of Men). The story is straightforward, incorporating elements and themes ever so subtly from previous James Cameron films. Overall, I'd say the movie delivers. Definitely worth your admission price. I plan to buy it and add to my Terminator DVD collection (something I have not and will not give the privilege to the steaming pile that was Terminator 3). I'd say the fair score on rotten tomatoes should be a 69%. Maybe with more time and reviewers, the film will get the buzz it deserves.
kick ass film!!
posted on 29 Aug 2009totally loved it!! I have never seen Sam Worthington and I have to say that he stole the thunder from Christian, as much as I love Christian. It's the kind of movie that you want to see on the big screen!I loved the scene in the helicopter in the beginning, It was sooo realistic, almost like you were actually in the airplane with Christian as it was going down, so much so that I had to look away for a second because it felt like I was in the plane at one point! I really do wish that there was more chemistry with Bryce and Christian but I suppose he wasn't there to be super emotional, anyway.Sam really took me by surprise because I started off ho-hum with him and quickly changed my mind.All in all, I will be going back to see it one more time because it really was action packed!
Wow
posted on 31 Aug 2009Mother always said that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. This movie has been bashed by critics everywhere. And what is a critic anyway? Someone who judges you or something that they cant do themselves? I found nothing terribly wrong with this movie Terminator Salvation. In fact, I absolutely loved every second of it. Paid full price twice just to see it again. People are so tied up with a action movie trying to be more than what it should be. Take Terminator Salvation for what its meant to be. Its not meant to be the second coming of Christ, its a pop-corn flick people! It had everything my $10.00 asked for, intense action, decent story, plot twist, more action, you might even shed a tear at the ending. What more do you people want from $10? Movies like Fried Green Tomatoes or Nights in Rodanthe?
