Terminator Salvation..

**AKIRA** · 05-21-2009, 07:14 AM

I am actually split down the center on this one..

I wasnt bored, but I didnt care about a lot of shit.

My roommates said it best: I wish they hadnt told us about the guy being a robot, it wouldve made the discovery a surprise.

Seriosuly, the effects were the best Ive seen in a while. Great sound too. But god damn something was missing.

I thought this review summed it up!!!

FRONT went to see Terminator: Salvation last night. Here is our considered review of it.

GOOD: There are some proper gnarly robots, and plenty of shit blowing up. Plus, everything’s nicely grim and post-apocalyptic - there are no cringe-inducing bits where someone says “Hasta la vista, baby!” or does a thumbs-up as they’re being lowered into molten-hot bubbling metal. And it’s definitely better than Terminator 3.

BAD: It doesn’t make a fat lot of sense at times, and it’s kind of hard to give a toss about any of the characters. And there aren’t any bits as cool as when Arnie’s picking off police cars from five stories up in Terminator 2.

OUR SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION: It’s just about worth seeing - just don’t expect the world. Do expect the end of the world, though! Hahahaha. Yes

Sounds like it's worth a buck or two for DVD rental when it comes out.

**AKIRA** · 05-21-2009, 04:57 PM

I will say this... If it wasnt for the theater setting, I prolly wouldnt have liked it as much.

Yes, its true.

Yeah thats an accurate review.

Now I know why Christian was so pissed off during the shooting.

As an avid fan of the series... I loved it. The story line to me makes sense. It's open for future installments.

T2 is my fav. movie of all time... it raised the bar on action/sci-fi movies. Without that standard The Matrix wouldn't of been as good.

You can't compare it to T2, it's not fair. T3 was garbage.

I thought the writing, directing, and casting were on point. Bale did a great job as always... can't wait for more.

**JHayesLS1** · 05-22-2009, 04:11 AM

I thought it was mediocre at best. After watching the other movies and watching this one its like Akira said, something was definantly missing.

Idk how you get those .264 mkv files to play on your 360, i can't get mine to work. I am over it though.

The movie was meh, not as good as 1 or 2, probably better than 3. Yes I think it was worth watching and it's 6.50 w/military discount here so i'm not gonna complain.

Yes, you have the feeling it's missing something. Plenty of action, but not the cool action of T2. Nothing cool like that custom shotgun that Arnold uses...
