Advantages: some special effects

Disadvantages: poorly imagined sequel

Terminator Salvation is watchable but unfortunately does not push the movie franchise further in the right direction in my opinion. Yes there is some better special effects as time has moved on in film making but it's all quite standard actually and disappointing more imagination was not put in to a post nuclear war future. The addition of the motorbike terminators was the only good update.

Worthington puts in a better performance than Bale who is just Ok as a future John Connor. Worthington's character does not feel as mysterious as the film makers are trying to make us believe - you can probably see where it's going.

Other characters including Connors wife and father have minor roles and perhaps could have been developed more.

Skynet seems to have over engineered in it's continued attack of the remaining human population and there are lots of technical questions regarding the future technology available to both sides.

A lot of people have waited for this movie and so it has proved a big disappointment when the potential was there but not explored by a movie maker with the imagination required.

Just OK is not good enough for a Terminator movie especially after T1 and T2.

Summary: OK not good enough
