really quick movie review: Terminator salvation

Hi this is Gamerguy456 and im gunna do a quick movie review on Terminator Salvation which i rented today on dvd.Now im a fan of the franchise i have enjoyed all three of the films with Terminator 2 being the best IMO. Im not gunna spoil the ending and ill try to avoid spoiling other stuff for those who havent seen the movie. So how was Terminator Salvation? I thought it was pretty good and its a stand alone title because of two things. One the plot is not another terminator sent from the future to kill a Conner and two its set in the year 2018 unlike the first three which were in the present time. One thing that dissapointed me was that while there is focus on the john conner character played by Christian Bale more of the focus is on another character who i wont mention. In this film John Conner is not the big leader yet but he is slowly becoming as the movie progresses and Christian Bale does a good job and I beleive him in the role overall the acting for the other characters was pretty good. There were also some homages to the first three films which I thought was nice because they didnt go overboard with them.The action scenes were shot very well most of the time the camera was somewhat far away from the acton so you could see it instead of the sometimes good but sometimes annoying upclose shaky camera shots. While its not the best of the films action wise I think its better than Terminator 3. In this film we are introduced to a few things. One we are introduced to a young Kyle Reese played by Alton Yelchin who did a good job in his role. The second thing we are introduced to are different kinds of terminators instead of the usually ones from the first three we have terminators that are motorcycles, some that can swim in water, some that are aircrafts and a giant terminator. The last thing which I liked and I wont go in depth on this one because I dnt wanna spoil much and I hope im not. We are finally introduced to the terminatorfactory and we see what its like inside. So while the movie did have some boring parts the last 40-50 minutes I thought were awesome. So overall its a pretty good sci-fi action flick if you havent seen it or your into sci-fi and action flicks give it a watch. 3.5/5

now for those of you who have already seen the movie what did you think of the movie?
