Mike 10/08/2021 loved whole experience See more IBMd N @Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Jul 4 Just a complete, steaming pile of badly acted, written and just plain awful steaming shit. If you wanna make a terminator movie, put Arnold in it next time. See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 4 Terminator Salvation deserves credit for finally taking the franchise into the Future War instead of revisiting the same time-travel formula. The post-apocalyptic setting, impressive machine designs, and large-scale battles create a world fans had wanted to see for years. Christian Bale brings intensity as John Connor, while Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright becomes the film's emotional center. The biggest issue is that the screenplay never fully commits to either protagonist, leaving both character arcs feeling underdeveloped. After such a promising setup, the climax also settles into a fairly conventional action finale instead of taking fuller advantage of the fascinating world it created. Even so, the production design, visual effects, and fresh setting make it one of the more interesting post-T2 sequels.

No Arnold, no good… See more Justin T @RT08580778 May 4 The future doesn’t seem as gritty as the first two films. For a film that has such rich lore and so much potential to depict life in an unimaginable hell, this is actually quite generic, it’s all so bland and grey and moody. There is so much CGI, it doesn’t feel real. I find it so hard to concentrate on this film. Why do they all have sore throats? I think this is the first time I’ve seen this film all the way through and it’s hard to pinpoint why I find it so boring. The action is good enough. Maybe that’s it, everything else that is just so devoid of personality. It’s such a pointless film, nothing changes from start to finish, there is no message. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 25 I walked out of the cinema after Terminator Salvation with a long sigh more than anything else. It isn’t a total disaster, but it feels like a missed opportunity in a franchise that should’ve hit much harder. The idea of a full future-war setting with John Connor actually in the fight sounded great on paper, but the execution is strangely flat. Christian Bale tries to bring intensity as Connor, but the story doesn’t give him much to work with. Sam Worthington’s character arc is more interesting than expected, but even that ends up feeling predictable. The action looks decent at times, but it lacks the tension and creativity the earlier films had. It feels like a big-budget movie that forgot to make you care about what’s happening. Overall, it is a /10, it’s watchable, but disappointing. I expected a strong continuation of the saga and instead got something that just…exists. See more Read all reviews
