10/08/2021 loved whole experience See more Tim B @SlimTim0707 Dec 30 In an attempt to rally the base, Salvation diverts to a more serious tone away from the comedic antics that turned so many off with T3. Bale and Worthington give us their best attempt with the material but this dark movie never seems to find its way to any real salvation for the series. See more Guy S @Mnementh Dec 30 Criminally underrated movie well ahead if its time. This was a way to push the franchise forward. Now normally why would we bother, why do we need it. Except that we did have 3 movies before and they kept talking about this eventual outcome so we needed to see it. And we did and it was magnificent, it was done in a very professional and precise way. A fine performance by Bale and everyone. Script needed some work but was a wonderful film. Misunderstood and it was basically cancelled and a tragedy all around. See more Matthew T Dec 7 Another much maligned great movie. We wanted a post-apocalyptic look at the war with machines. What we got was perhaps cleverer and more nuanced than we deserved. Perhaps that was the issue - it doesn’t feel like the other movies, though it has nods and Easter eggs aplenty. My particular favourite is there is a reason why later (earlier) terminators seem to prefer to ride bikes… Whether Bale was the best choice to play Connor or not… he is perfectly watchable, and Sam Worthington is the real heart here. This was what we wanted. Perhaps Arnold being largely absent was too much of an ask? My one and only major gripe (losing it a whole star), is that this movie, more than almost any other, is guilty of the ‘monster throws the hero instead of killing them’ trend - which drives me nuts. The machines could have killed Connor, and Reese, many times over, but just fumble it for narrative purposes. The promise was always if the terminator got close to Connor it was game over. See more Emb3rGamer66 @Emb3r.G Dec 5 I think the series for sure needed a film in the future post Judgement Day where we see life in the war before the T800 goes back to 1984, might not have check off all marks like John Connor not having the look of how he did in T2's Future which I liked better but it still was cool See more Romas M @Romas Nov 26 Greetings from Lithuania. "Terminator Salvation" (2009) is a great entertainment. It not equal to first two movies by far, but it is better then 3rd and surely by many moons better then "Genisys". That said "Terminator Salvation" delivers goods in terms of entertainment and it does a great job in being a "Terminator" movie set in days after Judgement Day. The world is bleak, set design is very good especially in outdoor scenes. Special effects are great (i love the motorcycles assault scene especially were one spins over the screen - great scene). Robots are crude and not sharply done by purpose, this is early period of after Judgment Day and Skynet doesn't evolved to create sharp models - they are created for purpose, not fore eye candy. Yet. The only complain about this movie in my opinion was the very end of this movie (after all battles scenes at the camp). Last scenes - they aren't strong and don't leave lasting impressions, but they are not bad by any means. Christian Bale does a decent job, but Sam Worthington gives a superb performance, he is the soul of this movie. McG direction is also solid, he shows us this bleak world. The references to first two movies are great, with lines and characters and etc. Overall, i always highly enjoyed "Terminator Salvation". It is not as good as first two movies, but it shows us this universe in new fashion. I would love to see sequence for this movie MUCH more than a dreadful, not involving and just simply boring "Genisys" - "Terminator Salvation" delivers what it promises. See more Read all reviews
