Terminator Salvation
Rated PG-13
Cast:
Cons: Some plot holes, The ending could have been better
Review:4/5 stars
This movie got lots of bad reviews upon its release this past May and I don't see why. I really liked this movie I have enjoyed the whole Terminator franchise even though it has had its ups and downs like any franchise would. To me this is a worthy entry in the franchise and I am glad that they decided to show you the war against the machines a thing that was only hinted at and shown very briefly in all the other entries. Now the movie does have a couple of plot holes but for me it doesn't effect the film. The Action scenes are great and exciting. they are well shot and you can see everything that is going on. Now on to the cast which I thought was great. Christian Bale has received lots of criticism about his performance but I think he did a great job as John Connor he was much better than Nick Stahl in Terminator 3. Now was it his best performance ever NO but that is not his fault he did the best with what he was given the character seemed underwritten. Only problem I had with Bale's performance was that he let his gruff Batman voice slip in there every now and then. Other noteworthy performances come from Sam Worthington who plays the new to the franchise character Marcus Wright. Now the movie is more about the Marcus character than it is John Connor. Marcus wright was put to death in 2003 for murder and donates his body to science. We next see Marcus wake up in the future 2018 right in the middle of this war. The rest of the movie Marcus is trying to find out who and what he is and how he got this way. Now Sam Worthington is a relative unknown here in America but has been acting for quite some time in Australia and has won some awards there. Now his performance in this film is great he makes you feel empathy for Marcus very quickly. Worthington can go head to head with Bale and steal every scene now to me anyone who can do that has some talent. Worthington has a long career ahead of him if you ask me. He will only become more well known as he stars in more movies now he is fresh off the success of AVATAR and with the upcoming CLASH OF THE TITANS. Anton Yelchin Plays a very important character Kyle Reese. Yelchin gives a good performance that pays homage to Kyle Beans performance in the first Terminator movie. The movie also features the Beautiful and sexy Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams who serves as the love interest for Marcus. Her performance is good and I just wish her character had more screen time. Bryce Dallas Howard is featured as Kate Connor John Connor's wife who was previously played by Claire Danes in Terminator 3. Overall if you are a fan of Terminator check this movie out its a fun ride.
