Finally, last night I got to watch Terminator Salvation. I was all set not to like it because I heard that it received some negative reviews...Well this one is a positive one!
I’ll start though with some negatives.
1. Christian Bale’s voice! What on earth is up with that? In the film he was very gruff and almost whistled while he talked.
2. Some of the special effects with the landscape screamed Green Screen but you can’t hold that against a film set in the future.
3. Kate Conner a.k.a Bryce Dallas Howard was far too pretty for the type of future that she was in. I felt more drawn to Moon Goodbloods character, Blair, in regards to her hair, makeup and costume.
Now what I loved about it.
1. SAM WORTHINGTON! Simple. For a new guy on the Hollywood scene he makes a great impression as Marcus Wright. Although his
Australian accent does pop up every now and again.
2. Anton Yetchin. Another one to keep an eye on. You’ll have seen him in the new must see Star Trek film as the brilliant Chekov.
3. Costumes where gritty.
4. They didn’t forget to put the der der derduhdun der der derduhdun at the beginning.
5. There are two surprises... I’ll say nothing more.
6. Even though other reviews have said that the plot was muddled and not easy to understand. I found it very easy to understand and I think it fits into the whole Terminator saga well. But that just my opinion.
7. The film salutes to Terminator 1 and the Great Escape.
8. Don’t forget the classic line “I’ll be back”
Some newbies to the Terminator Saga may not get alot of what's going on in regards to the plot and back story, so in that respects Terminator Salavtion is probably most suited for the die hards (which I am one of!)
Not epic or as great as the first two Terminator films, but a good one!
Eight positives/ three negatives.
I’ll give it a 7/10
