Terminator Salvation – Thanks for nothing

I’ll try not ruin any of the movie for you. Lemme tell you right now I don’t like it. The story was bland and it didn’t intrigue me or thrill me or keep me on the edge of my seat. This is not a chase movie like the other Terminators this more like a straight action flick with TERRIBLE effects. Not all of the effects were bad, but when there was a bad effect it stood out like a glowing green screen with bad lighting. That really upset me. Anything other than the actual robots looked terrible. Hell there’s a scene with John sitting on a dirt mountain side that looked like McG let his kid Photoshop the background in.

The robots err the Terminator robots are what I want to see when I see a Terminator movie. Not a flying drone that just bumps into you while you are driving a jeep to get away.(I didn’t understand WTF was going on in that scene.) I don’t want to see a robot snake that swims through water that just grabs you by the face and then disappears into the water with your body. WTF? Oh PG-13 I forgot. McG = Asshole Reh-tard! You’re killing me, I was dying for this to be a good movie. Terminator 3 is amazing compared to this, but then again T3 is my idea of Terminator movie should be not Salvation which is a completely different style/brand.

What I did like and this might amaze you is … The acting. Christian Bale had me believing he was John Connor and not Batman fighting robots even though he couldn’t resist the Batman voice a few times. Sam Worthington was great also I enjoyed watching him and I liked the character idea, but they just didn’t really do enough with him. Also the young Kyle Reese was well done. Terminator Salvation really disappointed me and it’s not just because I took such a big hit on my HSX account, but because it was a bad movie overall. There’s gonna be two more of these now? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
