Terminator Salvation is one of the most awaited movies of the last few years, just like the new Star Trek movie and the new Transformer Movie; all are based on sequels to past hit movies. The story starts out as Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) is donating his organs and tissue to Cyberdyne the corporation that made the first robot that develop into terminators and Skynet. John Connor then leads a team to attack a Skynet base and he is the only survivor after finding human captives of the robots. Marcus Wright then wakes in a post apocalyptic world after being released by the Skynet raid and he walks to downtown Los Angeles not far from where I live…scary.

He then stumbles upon two human survivors Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and Star (Jada grace) and then after finding a radio they meet the leader of the resistance John Connor (Christian Bale).In the last Terminator film John Connor was locked in a secret cave as Judgment Day begins, he is broadcasting radio messages to try to find survivors and his dad who due to future time travel in other previous films is Kyle Reese. They then try to save the world or what’s left of it from these killing machines. If you like war films or explosions then you will like this film, the story is a stretch, and you almost have to have watched some of the previous Terminator movies to get the complexities of what’s going on .

There are some of the most intense action scenes I’ve seen in a while and lots of Computer Animation along with animatronics to get this film a look that is heads and tails above the previous movies. It would have been nice if the stars of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Nick Stahl, Claire Danes and Arnold Schwarzenegger were brought back, Nick Stahl’s voiceovers were great in the last film. The thing is that the writers are trying out due the other movies and just went too far, they could have just left half the story out and worked on character development to make us care about these characters. I wanted to like this movie, but it was just ok after this year’s runaway hit Star trek it’s hard to really put this in the same league, this movie will find fans but just not the wider audiences like other films do...
