Terminator Movie review

This weekend I was really bored at home so I decided to watch a movie. As I was looking through my collection I found the last of the Terminator series; Terminator Salvation. To make an awesome blog about it I decided to create a movie review. Here it is and be sure to watch it.

I think that the new Terminator movie gets two thumbs up. The new sequel to the sci-fi thrillers is packed with action, suspense and doesn’t get boring.

John Connor is the man picked to keep the human race going against Skynet and the army of Terminators. The future that John Connor has been brought up to believe in has now changed completely from a strange and mysterious man called Marcus Wright. The last memory that Marcus can remember is being killed but yet he’s still there. The vital decision that Connor needs to make is to decide if Marcus is a traitor working with the terminators or is trying to help what’s left of the human race. After breaking into the Skynet headcounters, Connor and Wright meet up to try to terminate the terminators.

Directed by McG this movie has a number of amazing actors. John Connor is played by Christian Bale, while Sam Worthington is Marcus Wright. I believe that Christian Bale and Sam Worthington had a hard job acting that needed a lot of concentration because playing the part of human survivors, fighting against a whole army of robots seems very tough. With this movie being the fourth in its series there are a number of things that could have been changed and also kept the same. One of the biggest differences in this movie and the previous three are the graphics and special effects. The older movies had more of a action based plot and each movie later they are becoming more and more of a suspense movie meant to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I think that the special effects were everything in this movie. Without the special effects this movie would have been horrible because the whole terminator armies aren’t actors and they need to be digitally created. One of my favorite scenes is when John Connor comes into a deserted city and finds another human, but the person is actually a Terminator robot and then starts shooting at Connor. This is just an example of how the special effects played a key role in this movie and without them this scene wouldn’t have been created. The music also went very well with the movie because it added suspense throughout the entire part.

This movie was rated pg-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, and language. Given that this movie is pg-13 I think that it’s for anybody that likes sci-fi and thriller movies. I personally think that this movie should be for kids 13 and up, not just because it has a lot of violence but because it is hard to understand so the older you are the better the movie will become. Watching the previous terminators also helps, so you start from the beginning and you can follow the movies as they continue.
