Terminator Salvation

Terminator Salvation

Director/Producer, McG (Chuck, We Are Marshall) made a valiant effort with Terminator Salvation. It excels in what makes most action movies watchable powerhouses: from extremely loud audio to jolting camera work during action fueled scene after action fueled scene. Screenwriter, Jamie Linden, would have benefited much more, however, if the story, by Cory Helms, was not buried under the aforementioned scenes. Some of the plot devices used to alert John Connor of his dire mission are weak and the exposition could have been slimmed down to an eventful, informative scene or two. Terminator Salvation is not altogether unwatchable, but it most certainly has more hype than actual enthralling content. Also, Christian Bale as John Connor is definitely not as exciting as one would imagine, or hope.

Going to the movies ready for action and a decrease in sense of sound? No disappointment! Those, however, who seat themselves upon their somewhat comfortable theater seats to watch a film with good, concise story will be mildly appeased.
