QUITE A LONG REVIEW IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPOLIERS SKIP TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH. First shock...i settle down get comfy...the certificate rating comes up 12A...that ...  Read the complete review

As, I'm sure, were most fans of the Terminator franchise, I was more than a little apprehensive about the new film. A director who's only major credit is the Charlie's Angels films, a flawed third film, the possibility of an already complicated plot made more so... the list of elements against it were not good. On the plus side, a lot of fans ...  Read the complete review

Given how far from the quality of the first 2 films T3 was I didn't know exactly what to expect from this. I am a fan of Christian Bale and he turns out a decent performance, the acting on the whole was good. However for those looking for a match to the first two films are going to be disappointed. If it wasn't for the fact that you know the ...  Read the complete review

'Terminator Salvation' is the 4th film in the Terminator franchise and claims to be a reboot of the franchise after the system malfunction that was 'Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines'. Terminator and 'Terminator 2 Judgement Day' can both claim to be classics and one or the other will mostly surely be in most peoples (men's) top 10 favourite films ...  Read the complete review

The fourth film (cash in) in the Terminator Franchise is a mega budget summer blockbuster. The plot, well it's the same as the other three, robots try to wipeout humanity, humanity fights back, the twist this time is the humans are helped by a human/terminator hybrid, people fire guns, things blow up that's pretty much it, except the story at the ...  Read the complete review

Unfortunatley when you hear about a new Terminator film being released, you start to expect the worst - no thanks of course to T3. But of course James Cameron has some rather large brogues to fill when it comes making a Teminator flick, as the first 2 were excellent pieces of cinema. So how has McG done? Well he's done good, ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of the Terminator movies, having watched them first when I was a teenager. I think the main reason they are still universally popular is the fact that they give such a bleak outlook on life - along with some massive destruction of real estate. The first and second films are masterpieces of science fiction, the first introducing us to ...  Read the complete review

Prequels and origin stories are in vogue this year and, in its own way, Terminator Salvation is in fact a prequel despite being set in 2018. Past Terminator films have focussed on the modern day with people and machines being sent back from the future. With Terminator Salvation we begin (and they plan on at least two more so this is definitely ...  Read the complete review

Released on 3rd June 2009, I anticipated this movie as soon as I heard it was going to be made! This movie comes under the genre of action, sci-fi/drama - which for those of you who are fans of the franchise, will be more than aware of. Directed by McG (of Charlie's Angel's fame) he develops this movie into something spectacular. ...  Read the complete review

First of all let me start off by saying that Terminator 1 and 2 are amongst my favourite films, and I even found T3, whilst not of nearly the same calibre, to be an enjoyable enough film. I've always found the Terminator universe's combination of nuclear armaggeddon, giant machinegun-wielding metal skeletons, tense, fast-paced plots, timetravel, ...  Read the complete review

Terminator Salvation takes a fresh approach to the Terminator series, being the first one set predominantly in the post-Judgement Day future. The first three in the series give only brief glimpses of the world of the future after Skynet has become conscious and machines have taken over the world. The focus in the first three is on fighting the ...  Read the complete review

After the scrape-the-barrell attempt at Terminator 3 (2003) in which we saw Arnie comeback as the infamous T-101 to protect John O Connor, future leader of the resistance, I thought that was it. Arnold Schwarzenegger was now the Governator of California and his film career put on hold, perhaps indefinately. Terminator was Arnie, Arnie was ...  Read the complete review

Life without Arnie looks good. Critics have been saying the story line for the latest terminator film is bad. The only reason it want as good as the third, wait no..... the only reason it want as good as the second yeah that sounds better. Lol. It's because there trying to plan out the end of the world in three films and they can't just do ...  Read the complete review

Directed by the annoyingly titled 'McG' (real name Joseph McGinty Nichol), 'Terminator Salvation' is the long awaited fourth installment in the popular film franchise. But considering it has been placed at the mercy of the guy who brought us the cinematic gem 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle', and a handful of music videos, can it possibly be any ...  Read the complete review

At now twenty five years old, the Terminator franchise is as old as I am. And that's probably not a positive comparison to make in review of this fourth instalment, or humanity's fate- as I now drown myself in alcohol, starting to feel ever-so-slightly agitated by the irresponsive technology that sits here in front of me as I attempt to write ...  Read the complete review

So me and the boyfriend decided at the weekend instead of spending the night flicking through the tv channels trying to find something to watch, we would go to the cinema.. Needless to say once that was decided I had very little choice about what film we saw, but thankfully we have similar taste in films so I wasn't all that bothered about going ...  Read the complete review

15 years after Skynet declared war on the human race during the global nuclear holocaust know as judgement day, the cities of humankind are gone. Survivors are dispersed into ragtag groups...some resistance fighters, others just trying to stay alive. Into this world steps Marcus Wright, a man who's last memory is of being on death row in 2003. ...  Read the complete review

Despite the lukewarm reception which greeted Terminator 3, it was inevitable that, like the unstoppable machines themselves, the franchise would rumble on. I'll admit it: when the ludicrously monikered McG was announced as Director, my heart sunk. The last thing needed was his addled ADHD flashy visuals and vacuous action. I'll admit ...  Read the complete review
