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. Read critic reviews

I know that even amongst the rocky track record of the Terminator franchise, Terminator Salvation is not especially well-liked. I've always been a little bit of an outlier when it came to this series though; like everyone else, I know the first two are the only great ones, but to me, it's actually not T2 that stands at the top of the pile, but The Terminator, the first film. And since that first film, we've copped 5 new runs at a Terminator movie. Out of all 5 of them, Salvation is the only one that tried something different from the first one. Even the lofty success of T2 was garnered using the same core concept as the original movie. Salvation hits something new, and while that obviously doesn't work for a lot of its audience, for me, it's the best movie outside of the first two that the franchise has made to date.

Just the helicopter crash alone warrants a higher score than the critics gave it. It lacks the brilliance of the first two, but is much more entertaining than Rise of the Machines.

What did I just watch??? It had many changes that were unnecessary and lost the foundation to the previous films, still, the film managed to have some interesting new ideas like robotic snakes. Lots of the newly introduced characters seemed forceful, casting was weird, the post apocalytic world seemed unrealistic, script was badly. Tried to add a few laughter but failed miserably. An utter disappointment for Christian Bale's career.

With more violence and gratuitous nudity, the Director's Cut of Terminator Salvation weakens the film and exasperates its problems. The added scenes convolute the story even more and make the characters less likable. The changes by McG really only serve to heighten the underlining flaws with the script: Skynet's plan is nonsensical and the character development is poor. Furthermore, none of the action scenes are markedly improved, and the action and special effects are pretty much all that the film has going for it. Terminator Salvation: Director's Cut is an unnecessary edition of a film that's heavily flawed to begin with.
