All I can say to the new Terminator Salvation movie is WOW!!! This movie had so much hype on it there was no way it could live up to all of it, but I was extremely entertained from the very beginning. The director assumed the majority of the individuals watching this movie had previously seen the other Terminator movies and therefore didn’t waste excessive amount of time attempting to explain the characters, plot, and setting to the Lehman terminator fan. This was definitely a plus for me as an action enthusiast since there was so much amazing action that was packed into all that extra free time in the movie that wasn’t wasted on the previous elements.
Christian Bale has pulled off yet another amazing action role, with I might add a impressive supporting performance by Sam Worthington as the hybrid human/robot. Even with Bale’s impressive performance he wasn’t the biggest star in the movie. This title goes the CGI version of the governator himself. The CGI created version of the original Terminator appears later in the movie and you can just feel the build up of expectation in the theater rising like a tide on a full moon. When the CGI version of Arnold steps out, you know Jon Connor is about to get his ass kicked.
Still as much as I was impressed by this movie I was somewhat disappointed due to the fact they decided to go with the PG-13 rating for the movie. This is the dumbest decision in action movie history since they let candy ass Kevin Costner make the big budget movie Water World. How the hell are you going to make a movie about a future war between military robots and humans PG-13. The only action movies you can give a PG-13 rating to and get away with it are westerns. This is just another way for Hollywood to sell out the action movie genre, that and letting Tom Cruise play in any action movie role. Fortunately, I have heard rumors of a release of a directors cut that will have all of the deleted footage from the original rated R version.
All in all, this entire movie can definitely add a few points to your man card and entertain you at the same time. The scene with Arnold was money in the bank and definitely worth it for me alone to see this movie. I give this movie a 3.5 out 5 Testosterone Level, which means get your ass to the theater as soon as possible.
