Terminator: Salvation was expected with many hopes, but also fears. First trailers were telling us that we will have to deal with tough story and realistic post-apocalyptic world. The movie surely is showing those things. Remainings of the humans are hiding from the machines and trying to fight them with everything they got. And here we got many great ideas including brilliant conception of resistance general headquarters (I won’t tell how does it look) and the look of motorcycle-like robots, or huge flying machines. But there are also some bad ideas. The headquater of John Connor’s (played by Christian Bale) team is in some kind of forest and protected by magnetic mines and lots of guns. But this base is supposed to stay invisible for the eyes of the machines. The machines can be easily summoned using some explosives (I agree that explosions are not natural effect of any kind) but when the surroundings of Connor’s heardquaters are turning into regular war-zone no machine is appearing nevertheless in nearby river there are lots of them. That is only one example of silliness and illogical events in the movie. And there is a lot of not being logical.

    What is good about this film? Good acting. Not brilliant, but good. Bale does the same thing as always – he is stubborn, brave and yelling a lot. Sam Worthington (playing half machine, half man) is also doing a fine job.

    The story is not very good, the conclusion not satisfying (again the motive with “bad guy must tell good guy everything about his evil plan, so the good guy will have a chance to stop him”). McG showed that he is not a good director. He had a legend to deal with and he was trying to do so instead of trying to do good movie. It is visible that he tried not to offend old fans and to interest some new. But movie isn’t even well edited. Scenes are not matching each other, sometimes it looks like someone just put something here or there randomly to fill empty spaces.

    At the end the best thing: brilliant insertion of T-800 model with 101 Arnold Schwarzenegger face. That is one scene worth to remember. Isn’t sad that the best scene of the movie includes an actor that doesn’t play in that movie?
